[edit] Refuge (race)

Prod contested for non-notable game-mod. My prod rationale was

Not notable and not in line with the WP:FICT guideline. Creator's sole edits are related to the Drow Town Team and copyright note at the end of the article is a very very bad sign that this is vanispamcruftisement. Grand total of 6 non-wiki Ghits for Drow Town Team. In fact those 6 hits are message board advertisements for Drow Town Team made with the same user name as the creator of this page.

Actually my reference to WP:FICT is irrelevant In any case, I have tried on Talk:Refuge (race) to explain (at length) to the creator why I felt the article was inappropriate and should be deleted. But he's still not convinced so let's go the AfD way. Pascal.Tesson 22:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete as per Pascal. Also, looking at the talk page, I get the impression there is a strong chance that the article might get re-created. The Kinslayer 10:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The board messages that are referred to above are not advertisments but information approved and sometimes even requested (on heroesportal.net) by the board owners. There is no copyright note at the end of the article. Why do you think non-wiki Google hits are bad? The only real reason that could be taken in account out of everything listed here is 'non-notable', but is that really the best reason for get rid of one kilobyte of data? Wikipedia is the Free Encyclopedia, and this means everybody can and should add information to it as much as possible. BTW, I won't re-create the article if you delete it, but I will still think that you did something wrong. Chortos-2 11:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Have you read ANY of the Wikis policies (which HAVE to be followed), and guidelines (which SHOULD be followed?). There is WP:NOT, WP:ILIKEIT#It doesn't do any harm, WP:N, WP:V and many more. I suggest reading and UNDERSTANDING them before making statements like 'Is it worth deleting 1k of data?' and 'Everyone can and 'should' add information to it'. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and neither is it a place to drum up support for personal projects. The Kinslayer 11:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Addendum Please read the following essays as well, they adequetly describe how this article comes across: Wikipedia:Vanispamcruftisement, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not Google™. The Kinslayer 18:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
