• Delete Sounds extremely interesting, but not yet up to WP:WEB. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I know the people behind the project and if it is determined to be deleted I'd like it to be userfied under my name so that people can continue to edit it until such time that it meets any criteria put forth in this AFD. EnsRedShirt 05:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It is unfortunate that New Worlds Project has been put for potential deletion. At this rate, no play-by-post game will ever be listed on Wikipedia giving Wikipedia users a unbalanced view of our community. I wonder why New Worlds Project has been nominated but Alleria has not. I respectfully submit that New Worlds Project does meet the WB:WEB. Falling under the play-by-post games category, New Worlds Project is one of the leading examples of play-by-post games and is the only one to actually be incorporated both in Belgium and in the US. See [Belgian Monitor] and the [Utah Business Entity Search]. Likewise, it is the only play-by-post game that actually produces reference materials and full-length novels available for purchase. See [New Worlds Project Reference Guide], [New Worlds Augusta], [New Worlds Project Nalnath Cluster]. In the light of these examples, one can see that New Worlds Project is certainly well on its way to becoming some much more than a game and of relevance to the Wikipedia community. I plead that the article on New Worlds Project should remain part of Wikipedia, offering an excellent example of play-by-post games, and new efforts to bring play-by-post games (and their positive results) to an ever growing community. --Kimmetje 10:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I agree with Kimmetje above. Though it may be shaky ground to allow a PbP game to have its own article, the fact is that the community has become large enough to warrant listing, and produced external material available beyond their game. It is a game, but it is a notable one that has established its own non-profit organization to promote PbP games as an educational tool for use in real classrooms. It is not a personal project and deleting it would be a mistake due to lack of information. However, the article should be reviewed and edited. --Frugen 07:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Kimmetje pretty much sums it up. The New Worlds Project is a serious (i.e. they've even registered themselves as a business) online collaborative creative writing project that is well known (read: notable) in the Play-by-Post community. I think this article should be kept since the argument of Non-Notability doesn't really stand (even doing a Google search lists the RPG New Worlds on the front page...) --Rambutaan 01:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep- Just in case My comment earlier wasn't clear enough I think it should be on wikipedia. EnsRedShirt 04:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - This article should be kept, for the reasons Frugen and Rambutaan cited. 70.161.233.42 05:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
