[edit] Otserv

This page has already been through AFD once (first nomination), and was deleted in June 2005, then recreated in December 2005. The content is extremely messy; it's generally unsourced, and reads a lot more like a project web site than an encyclopedia entry. Zetawoof(ζ) 09:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

      • OTServ is a very interesting part of Tibia. Please dont delete it although i agree there is a lot of crap in that article. Although imsue there are articles with a lot more rubbish in them—Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.202.173.171 (talk • contribs) 04:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
    • False, this just contain the different distributions, history and usefull links with the "project site" --Arkold Thos 01:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Still in development, not released yet, implies non-notable. Too much unverified and POV. Paddles 12:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I recommend to you check the links in the footer, Otserv was released in the 2001-2002 and the project is hosted in sourceforge.net --Arkold Thos 01:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom and previous observations. Tyrenius 16:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I reply to the previous observations --Arkold Thos 01:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, for various reasons, only among them being that it was already deleted once and not really any improvement was made the second time. OneGyT/T|C 23:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
    • We are improving to give a better wikipedia article, anyway im making a topic in otserv forums to do a perfect one. --Arkold Thos 01:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Zetawolf, why don't you change the things you think are bad written. Yes, I know its funnier to delete than to fix things. What a pitty.
  • Don't Delete, OTserv is a project with great potentional and a wikipedia article will certainly help expanding the project, and thus the article. Keeping it will thus improve the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.56.2.190 (talk • contribs) .
    • Remember that Wikipedia is not a promotional device. Zetawoof(ζ) 19:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
        • we dont want promote this project, right now DeathfireD and me are working with this stuff, open this a article in few days to see the big change --Arkold Thos 03:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
    EDIT: We remove crap stuff and now we are reddoing the just the usefull stuff

You've got to be kidding... It contains nothing that is promoting it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.107.246 (talk • contribs) .

  • Don't Delete! This article contains a small history of OTserv and the basics on how to use it. Its setup isn't the greatest, but nontheless it does supply information - which is the whole point behind having an encyclopedia article, is it not? And you could say that this article is an advertisement, but I could also say you're wrong. Anyway, OTServ is not a product. It isn't sold, it isn't traded for something else, and it is productive. So advertising this wouldn't actually get us anywhere, would it? Seems kinda silly to think so. It would seem that support goes for deleting this article, but I am willing to bet that these are people who have barely read the article or have no clue what OTServ really is or any of that. ~nfries88
  • Don't Delete! Article provides good information for research of MMORPG emulation software. ~ivucica (Khaos)
  • Note - AfD message on the page was blanked by Arkold Thos (talk • contribs). Warned. Zetawoof(ζ) 22:25, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • edit the page please Zetawoof the page has been redone, stop crying about it and edit/add/correct the things that you still hate then take the AfD message off. -DeathfireD-
  • Keep - Why delete? It's not an ad and it gives information on something. What else do you need for a Wikipedia article? -JNighthawk 14:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
    • It might be written poorly, but that can be freely edited, which is the point of Wikipedia. Edit it, don't delete it. -JNighthawk 14:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
      • This nominations seems to dont contain stuff against otserv anymore... about the pm of Zetawoof, i delete by mistake that, i wasn't unable to move nothing for unknow reason, i say, i can't refresh i can't do nothing, i delete that and it works again but i forget how to add again
  • Weak delete 104000 GHits, but it seems like it could count as reposting of deleted content M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 04:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
