[edit] Macorden

Start of the article claims it's a business, however the rest of the article is an advertisement or history of an MMORPG guild. Blatant vanity page with no reason to be on wikipedia as it's function seems to be the history of the guild. Lid 04:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep It was not my intent to portray it as a business but to throw a fun fact out. The article is a historical portrayal of the character Macorden and the role he has played in several games in the past and games upcoming. It can fall under WP:BIO and WP:FICT. I have had used the name Macorden in all games and if anyone wants to look up the history they should be allowed to. If Fatal1ty has a wiki, I should be allowed to host a history for Macorden. Further, the article leave out many aspects of the Eclipse guild and only mentions the parts I have been involved in. The article is worthy of a wikipage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macorden (talk • contribs)

It doesn't meet criteria of WP:BIO and falls under both WP:Autobiography and WP:Vanity as well. Your reasoning that because one famous gamer has a page you should also doesn't make sense as Fatal1ty has appeared in magazines, interviews, had a chipset made for him among others. Being a gamer doesn't allow people to have an article otherwise everyone would have articles. --- Lid 05:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. Badly written non-notable waffle. -- RHaworth 12:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity, fails WP:BIO and WP:V, with no reliable sources to back anything up.. --Wafulz 14:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Clean up. Instead of immediatly trashing it, why not help clean it up and remove what needs to be removed? Everyone has access to make changes. The character does exist and any info, even if very little, should be allowed to be posted on wiki. I will come back this evening and remove as much as I can that does not have reliable sources. --Macorden Comment actually signed by anonymous: User:70.142.50.222.

• Delete - WP:VAIN, WP:BIO, and a lack of WP:RS (reliable sources). Srose (talk) 17:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleaned up Pelase help preserve my history and make any suggestions --Macorden Comment actually signed by anonymous: User:70.142.50.222

• Delete. If that is cleaned up, it could be a speedy delete as nonsense. Vegaswikian 21:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
