[edit] Ogre (Organization)

Ogre (Organization) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Google does not support any assertion of notability, even were we to concede that such an organisation existed. Looks to me like another User:HooperBandP vanity page - the second external link is almost certainly to a site run by him. Tagishsimon (talk) 22:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The Organization of Gamers & Roleplaying Enthusiasts, more commonly referred to as OGREs. So... Is it Ogre like the title says, or OGREs like the article says? I couldn't find much information from google by using either of the names. Doesn't seem to have a homepage either. Ilyushka88 (talk) 23:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I knew of these but I was never in a town or on a campus that HAD one. They're basically a generic name for gaming clubs, I guess with no national office or hierarchy, and I don't think they have any particular notability for that -- there's nothing like OGRE literature or conventions specifically for OGREs. I don't think we have an appropriate generic article to link to, but I wouldn't object if this were recast into one. --Dhartung | Talk 00:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
The only source that would of been reliable isn't on wikipedia: blogs. The WotC blog of RPGA approved groups mentions a few chapters of OGRE. But we can't use it. If you feel you need to delete it go ahead, but i will not have you going against AGF policy just because you don't have the ref you want. Its a wiki issue, not a vanity one.

  • Delete another one where I agree on certain things but, the article doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion. Doesn't really assert notability and is lacking 3rd party sources. As I'd actually quite like an encyclopedic article around something like this I encourage the author/main contributors to please find the reliable third party sources and create a new article at a later date that conforms to policies/guidelines.

  • Redirect to Republican Party (United States) Delete without prejudice; no particular showing for this "loose coalition" of gaming clubs. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I prefer the redirect idea ;). Though some idiot went and made two articles about the same thing so we'd have to merge this with both the that article and the Democratic Party article....;)Hooper (talk) 14:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
