[edit] NEUA

Article does not establish notability, 44 google hits (for "National Elite Underground Alliance") only --TimPope 16:47, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment: The group very rarely referred to itself by its expanded acronym, which is why the article title is NEUA and not "National Elite Underground Alliance". NEUA returns over 37,000 google hits, many of which are referring to a type of Thai beef dish. I have disambiguated the article. —RaD Man (talk) 17:33, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, warez groups are not notable. Martg76 17:13, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: A moron-magnet article, and it celebrates a group with no verifiability at all. (If it's secret, then we can't prove there are people in it.) Aside from that, it is not an encyclopedic topic. Geogre 18:43, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, the group should become more notable (or widely known, or provable) first, then it can gain a Wikipedia entry. I have no idea what a "warez group" is; if you know, post the definition on my talk page. — Rickyrab | Talk 18:57, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - you might want to take a look at List of warez groups and Category:Warez groups... DopefishJustin (・∀・) 20:29, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for historical posterity, the article contents are both verifiable and NPOV. Google serves as a poor barometer in this case because it is an underground group from the early 1990s, before the internet was commercialized. —RaD Man (talk) 20:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Radman, failing that merge somewhere. Kappa 23:47, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, and expand. Concur with Radman. Megan1967 01:54, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Disambig since Neua is a common word in some places either a location or something about food. Leave the dictdef as one of the entries. Vegaswikian 07:23, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't think a disambig is necessary since the other meanings aren't ALL CAPS... DopefishJustin (・∀・) 20:28, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep agree 100% with rad, this is from the pre internet boom era... BBS timeframe data is sorely under represented by google.  ALKIVAR™ 08:39, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and everyone wait a minute. . . . . . FIFTY PERCENT of this entry is quotes by "other rival competing warez groups" talking shit about NEUA. It's not encyclopedic and it doesn't belong here. We should think twice before allowing entries for online groups/communities because their size/importance/notability is nearly impossible to establish and their membership usually anonymous. With a computer, an Internet connection and a strong pot of coffee I could probably create another NEUA-like cyberentity that might appear to some to be Wiki-worthy. --Fazdeconta 17:11, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Sure you could, if you possessed the ability to travel backwards in time. If you are unimpressed with its brevity, then by all means, please expand it; I know I will. —RaD Man (talk) 17:17, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Where else do you get to read about Warez group, even though the notability is questionable, the disambig page will lead many people to other warez topic --Bobbagum 19:04, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep please these are real subjects Yuckfoo 02:53, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
