[edit] Shimlar

Non-notable web game with an Alexa ranking of about 900,000. No major third party awards or reviews to be found, and does not meet criteria in WP:WEB or WP:SOFTWARE. The article does not have reliable sources, it is not not verifiable, and is likely original research. --Wafulz 16:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

• I disagree, the community might not be huge compared to other similar games, but it's a very tight community who know eachother very well and one of the reason why the article is added to wikipedia is so more people get to know about this game. so be nice and let the little ones get a break.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Smeten (talk • contribs)

That's not what Wikipedia is for though. This isn't the place for other people to learn about the game- we are not an advertising service. In order to merit an article, the game has to achieve notability, which can be determined through multiple non-trivial independent sources. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to verify and claims made in the article, and we wouldn't be able to stay neutral.

• Delete per very thorough nomination. Gwernol 00:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, this article appears to be much, if not ALL original research. Also, this article is no where close to NPOV. The history section appears to have no other purpose than paying homage to the creators and some "famous" players. The gameplay section is merely a free advertisement. The grammar and spelling are also subpar. This article clearly has no place on Wikipedia.24.36.114.24 20:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
