[edit] Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom

Not notable. Does not meet WP:WEB Simonkoldyk 05:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep for now. I have seen this on several websites. It's also distributed by UGO [1]. TJ Spyke 06:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB and common sense. This article has been around since 2005!? Unbelievable! As a response to the above, UGOPlayer hosts loads of flash cartoons (roughly 2000 of them at least) . This one isn't even in their top 50. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for the same reasons I list in the deletion discussion of Video Game Director's Cuts. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 17:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Newgroundscruft. Danny Lilithborne 19:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable enough. Rhindle The Red 20:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable, I nominated its parent site VGDC aswell earlier today and was planning on nominating this per deletion. GShton 21:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Each installment has garnered various accolades on Newgrounds. The first two have received over one million views each. Even if it's not the most widely known, I believe that it deserves its own article. --Spartacusprime 17:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes, but does it meet the notability guidelines set in WP:WEB? So far, there's no evidence this Flash series (which I personally enjoyed myself) does, thus it doesn't deserve an article. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 18:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Newgrounds (among others) distributes it, and that site is both well-known and independent of the creators. Thus, notable. Spartacusprime 20:29, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment Please see WP:WEB newgrounds does not count as they host anything instantly. --Simonkoldyk 22:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment If that's really how the WP:WEB guideline worked, every one of Newgrounds' 300,000 animations would have an article, as would all 40 million DeviantArt submissions, all the pictures on Flickr, all the videos on Youtube, etc. Wikipedia is not a web guide, and does not seek to catalog content on other sites, even popular ones. If there's been significant media attention or some evidence that this flash file has been the topic of academic study, that might change things. Otherwise, it's just one of millions of silly web files. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. If I can remember, they had a little 3-4 minute feature about it on Attack of the Show, complete with an interview with the creator. ShadowMan1od 20:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. RobJ1981 20:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is fairly well-known among the Flash community. I think this article and the article on VGDC are somewhat similar in terms of notability to the article about Joseph Blanchette, an article that was once proposed for deletion but was kept after the debate.

KeepThis should always stay as this page shows easter eggs and this is extremly popular. Mariokid19 06:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Please - this is a very lengthy article for something that is only marginally notable at best. What exactly is the flash community btw? Spartaz 22:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
