[edit] Red star passes

Red star passes (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested Speedy. Still doesn't really assert any notability (it doesn't claim to be important, being a spinoff from a defunct MUSH and a merge of another doomed MUSH). No third-party reliable sources, fails verifiability. ColourBurst 03:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete "Red star passes" and "game" gets you something like 230 ghits; similar combos with "mud" or "rpg" even less. I can't see this being very notable. --Brianyoumans 03:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No assertion of notability, much less actual notability. Why did this fail speedy? --Selket Talk 07:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Strictly speaking, a telnet game is not "web content". ColourBurst 15:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete -- ephemeral; subject is also possible copy-vio (author known to bar *any* fan-use of her creations) -- Simon Cursitor

Comments: (don't really feel comfortable voting as I'm probably biased...) Anne McCaffrey changed her fandom policies in 2004 and now even allows fan-fiction online, so no copyvio. There are at least two other MUSHes based on Anne McCaffrey's work on Wikipedia as well. There are in total 50 or so and if someone could let the fans know (e.g. at Dragonriders of Pern) what a game needs in order to have a page, that would be great. From looking at the MU* Games category, I can't figure out why this page is up for deletion while others with similar or much less content are not. - tameeria 14:09, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

  • keep Sources for a web or web-related game are usually found on appropriate websites, so this is adequately sourced. I do not see that its mention in some gaming magazine would add much. The article itself does not run to excess. If anyone other than the author asserts notability & removes the tag an article will fail speedy--probably someone assumed that a game based on her of her novels showed N plainly enough.DGG 00:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no secondary sources cited, no reason to believe this subject is notable. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 02:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
