[edit] Manhammers

• non-notable vanity, they do get 379 hits on google but I don't think they're notable enough – ugen64 18:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• The Underscores, the real name of the clan is in fact a very popular gaming clan. Their unique style has made them popular in gaming communities and IRC game servers. http://www.hardgaming.com is one that comes to mind. Noteable enough to make the front page of HardOCP every once in a while. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.0.50.19 (talk • contribs)
• Delete, gaming clans are not encyclopedic. Gazpacho 18:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - Team3D, Ninjas in Pyjammas, Schroot Kommandos etc. They're in...
  • Comment: I don't get an article hit for either of those last two. -Colin Kimbrell 22:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - 50 unique Google hits and the poor vanity style of writing spells nuke it, as of now. The vast, vast majority of gaming clans are unencyclopedic. I can be convinced to change my vote if verifiable sources can be secured which assert this clan's encyclopedicity. FCYTravis 18:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep You better delete the Team3D entry if you delete this one. Manhammers are a known clan, whether you like it or not. ~KP
  • Comment - Team3D has verifiable sources which assert its encyclopedicity - namely, its competitive success in the Cyberathlete Professional League and the World Cyber Games. No such assertion is made for Manhammers. FCYTravis 23:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It's clear they have a history in the OGL league and they appear to have roots in their respictive (online)communities. It looks like they were even once sponsored by HardOCP.--Lucke 02:27, 17 December 2005 (UTC) (User's only edits are to this AfD page.

norly delete.

• Delete. Non-notable vandal vanity. -Silence 14:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not all gaming clans are necessarily non-notable and unencyclopedic, but I don't think this particular one is over the bar (which is pretty high for something with this level of granularity). If kept, the article needs actual citations and a big-time copyedit. -Colin Kimbrell 22:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete vanity, gamecruft, and questionable verifiability. Stifle 02:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep don't u bored to play always same game since years with his "i aim the feet/birds i head shot" ~MooKeTTe
• Delete I don't understand how this group is notable. That it has many members does not make it notable.
• Keep This is not the first I've heard of the Manhammers, I learned about them on the HardOCP forums about a year ago; they deserve a wiki!
