[edit] New Moon MUD

New Moon MUD (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:ORG (as a product), no reliable independent sources known. The sources given are the game's website, and a private homepage. PROD was contested with comment: "This is not an organization, it's a game." Well, we might debate whether WP:ORG applies, in any case it fails WP:N. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 07:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete This subject fails notability guidelines. A quick google search shows up very few or no reliable sources for this subject. It is also difficult to verify the contents of this subject as well. --Siva1979Talk to me 08:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as lack of secondary sources means this article fails notability criteria of WP:WEB also. --Gavin Collins 09:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. It's [WP:WEB]] that applies here. Anyways, there's nothing to distinguish this from the thousands of MUDs out there. If there is, I'll chage my mind.--UsaSatsui 14:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:WEB as above. Article content could use a POV check, too. Percy Snoodle 15:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep: Without being at all familiar with the MUD itself (outside the article and controversy), it seems notable to me that it is still up and running after so many years. My own experience with MUDs can't provide any that are still running. --LeyteWolfer 18:01, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Personally, I cannot see how WP:WEB applies, but WP:N sure as hell does. And this article fails it. Burntsauce 22:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Content distributed exclsively on the internet. It's not explicitly web content, but I think it applies. --UsaSatsui 22:42, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
    • MUD games can be played without an internet connection. I'd say it does NOT apply, but from a distance I think we agree on what the outcome should be. Burntsauce 22:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
      • And webpages can be viewed offline, too. It's primarily an internet-based thing, and designed to be so. You're right, though, it's nitpicking...can there be any wikilawering more pointless than "Which notability policy does this fail"?  :) --UsaSatsui 23:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
