[edit] Morton's list

The game is real, but the article is massive amounts of cruft, and Wikipedia is not a game guide. It's also unverified, and mortonslist.com, the associated website, is MIA at the moment. Opabinia regalis 02:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Then edit it and tighten it up, don't delete. All information has been taken from interviews with the authors or otherwise noted as speculation. There are currently no outside links to mortonslist.com or elsewhere, and mortonslist.com is only experiencing temporarily problems. Since the game is real and warrants an article, let users fix it in the spirit of Wikipedia. It's only been up a few days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.252.127.152 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 9 July 2006

Comment Unless the interviews have been published by a third party, they're essentially original research, and speculation shouldn't be in an encyclopedia article whether it's noted or not. mortonslist.com has been experiencing "temporary" problems for two months if the site notice is to be believed.

• Delete per Coredesat. Tychocat 08:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - The entry is about a book, the process of creation, and the background of something much more than a game.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.101.41 (talk • contribs)
• Keep - A valuable entry that should not be deleted. Brad Luttrell Knoxville, TN --208.60.92.211 15:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Morton's List is more than a gaming guide, it is a manual for other ways to live life. Ian Gilliam Knoxville, TN --130.94.245.146 16:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC).
• Keep the entry needs editing. but Morton's List is a real game and the information is correct--cory in tennessee—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.214.3 (talk • contribs)
• Delete non-notable book about a non-notable game. --InShaneee 19:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The book is real, has religious ties, and the information presented is accurate. --Steve Hoffman, Buffalo NY —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.66.172.199 (talk • contribs)
• Delete Non-notable book, non-notable game. Maybe if this becomes a success it could merit a listing, but as of right now, no. Wildthing61476 20:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The 6,000 copy selling game, promoted largely through word of mouth and with no major distribution, seems rather non-non-notable, especially considering some of the truly obscure games and sub-cultures that Wiki contains information about. The article is a little over-wrought, but the information is interesting to those who play. --Rick, Brooklyn, NY69.112.101.41 21:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Whispering 22:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Solicitation for outside action here. --InShaneee 01:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have never played the game, but it is real and clearly deserves an entry. I see the website is working as well. No doubt this article needs to be improved greatly, but that is the nature of a wiki, not impulsive deletion. I welcome an entry on this game because it is clearly unique and a neutral description of it would be helpful to those interested in what it's about. Let's not waste more energy with debating deletion; let's be constuctive and make changes. Unverifiable content can be removed and a more succinct description could suffice. --BFR 19:08, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: User's 3rd contribution. --InShaneee 01:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Coredesat. There are no haters here, just editors. Bejnar 21:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I likely would never take part in this game, but because I or anyone else feels that way should not be a reason to delete it. The website is working fine as of July 12, 2006 at 6:39 p.m. It is definately a unique game and a discription and the history alone justifies a page for it. Gary Seven 01:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
