gamecruft, put up for prod, but template deleted, so here we are on afd -- RoySmith (talk) 02:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, smells of vanispamcruftisement. Royboycrashfan 02:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Mmm, crufty goodness. --Kinu 02:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are many articles on Wikipedia about creatures from computer games. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as GameCruft and LeetCruft. You guys sure know how to have a good time... ++Deiz 02:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• keep. Leets have quite a following with websites like Leets Roxxor and Leetville popping up. Some people even making plushie leets themselves and online comics featuring strips involving leets such as GU_Comics. --Thundera 02:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC) (The preceeding comment was written by the creator of the nominated page. All of this users edits have concerned the nominated page.)
• Delete. Not an encyclopedic subject. Pilatus 02:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Avi 03:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as above.Blnguyen 05:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Anarchy Online. It's apparently a creature in that game, and it doesn't appear to really warrant an article of it's own. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wingsandsword (talk • contribs) 08:05, 6 February 2006.
• Yeah, merge. Melchoir 08:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, gamecruft, not notable enough. And here I thought a leet was a vegetable... no, wait, that's a leek. JIP | Talk 09:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect with Anarchy Online per WP:FICT. Please express opinions with a little more words. Being cruft is not a valid reason to delete. We do have a featured article on goombas, after all. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Right, when I pick up an encyclopedia I love finding cruft-ridden crap in it... anyway, based on length, content, notability of subject and number of people familiar with / likely to be interested in the subject, comparing Goombas and Leets is impossible. ++Deiz 12:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

So perhaps comparing these to goombas is a bit over the top. I still don't see why they should be deleted instead of merged. - Mgm|^(talk) 22:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• So merge... I do take exception to the fact that just because WP is a web-based entity people accept that WebCruft is more acceptable for inclusion... ++Deiz 00:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• I think wikipedia should try to encompass all knowledge, meaning goombas and leets and world of warcraft and everything else should be included. --Thundera 22:54, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Anarchy Online. Not notable enought for a standalone article.--Isotope23 18:20, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect as per MacGyverMagic, otherwise delete as insignificant gamecruft. Lord Bob 18:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• I would be ok with a merge and redirect to Anarchy Online if that would please you all. --Thundera 18:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Anarchy Online.--Shella ° 22:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Anarchy Online although if someone can find a large online presence I would be inclined to change my vote to keep. (A google search turns up a little bit about them and a lot of other things. It is thus difficult to determine whether or not they deserve their own article. Possibly someone else knows more about this subject?) JoshuaZ 22:41, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Anarchy Online as per above. --bainer (talk) 08:13, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or delete. Appears to be game/fancruft. Not deserving of its own article. Stifle 11:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or merge. Leets are an important fixture in AO. Im sure if this was a WoW topic this would never have come to afd.--Pypex 15:04, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Appears to be famous. --Siva1979^{Talk to me}15:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Important enough topic to keep, although I would be Ok with a merge. Arundhati bakshi 21:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
