[edit] Lord of the Goblinstone

No indication this is notable, zero google hits for article title, unreferenced, problems with WP:V and no assertion of notability, no reliable sources. See also WP:NOT#CRYSTALBALL. Oh, and reads like a complete advert and in places patent nonsense. And as for the firm that is allegedly developing this game...well, Phoenix Technologies certainly exists, but their website is at http://www.phoenix.com. The website linked to from this article has nothing in development apart from this and seemingly nothing whatsoever to sell, and no way of selling it, with no link to what I suspect to be the genuine Phoenix Technologies. Probable hoax. Moreschi Deletion! 17:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • This article is not a joke one, this serious and real. It may share a resemblence in title but that is all. I'm shocked about this and upset. I'd hate to see this hard work go to waste. Email the guy in chrage via the website if you don't beleieve me. Please don't delete this article, it is real I promise and I do not lie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gmeman (talk • contribs) 17 January 2007.

  • Delete, wholeheartedly agree with everything said by nominator. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Decidedly suspicious. The article's talk page is made up of comments by recent accounts with few edits too. --Folantin 18:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Perhaps a hoax, perhaps not; it's not really relevant either way. My shoe size and the name of next door's dog are, in the words of Gmeman, "not a joke, they are serious and real". They are, however, utterly non-notable. Delete per nominator's points about crystal ball, also the severe lack of verifiability of this (which is leading to the allegations of hoaxiness) mean that this fails the verifiability criteria rather spectacularly.And Gmeman, please stop taking the AfD tag off the article, and ask your friends to stop doing so. It doesn't help your case in the least (quite the reverse). Tonywalton  | Talk 14:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and Tonywalton. This project may in fact be something that the creators fully intend to follow through with -- they may fully intend to write five books and produce five games in this series. The fact is that they haven't done so yet, and even if they had, there's no guarantee that it would be notable. Also, the article creators must stop removing the deletion notice from the article and must stop vandalizing user pages in the name of retaliation for supposed "bullying". Asking you to follow the same rules as everyone else is not "bullying". -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
