Independent sources for this video game are missing; it fails WP:N. Tagged with {{notability}} since July 07. Note: the article survived a mass nomination in May 07; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AVATAR (MUD). B. Wolterding (talk) 22:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comments I was involved with this MUD in its early days and still have a strong personal opinion about the MUD's quality. That opinion interferes with my ability to objectively weigh the MUD's notability, so I don't want to weigh in to either keep or delete. I would just like to add:
the mass nomination apparently failed for the sole reason that it was a mass nomination, without any objections to relisting this article individually
this MUD's rank on mudconnect.com has risen to 334 out of 1341 listed since I last checked (though I don't know what that rank means)
Google USENET search on 'mirkwood mud' only turns up ads for the MUD and a few player anecdotes in the first several results pages
the MUD's claim to longevity (opened April 1995) may be a verifiable basis for notability: only 305 of the MUDs listed on mudconnect.com claim to be that age or older
the MUD's claim to two unique gameplay elements may be a (possibly verifiable) basis for notability: tribal champion based pvp, and original areas based on works of film and literature
