[edit] Space Federation

No indicated notability, seems to fail WP:V, WP:WEB and WP:SOFTWARE. Seems to be advertising. Peephole 20:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Blatant advertising; the author has also posted many links to his or her own gaming site on several different gaming-related articles (and even on some related to Star Wars), and at least one of his or her recently created articles is a {{db-repost}}. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 20:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unification Wars

Another suspected advertisement by the same user, suffering from the same problems as the above article. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 20:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I've seen this game before and indeed played it... don't think that it is Wikipedia material though. The main game Galactic Conquest might be, as it is quite a bit larger, but I doubt even that. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 21:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

That's actually been speedily deleted three times. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 22:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

It has an Alexa rank of 13,519 and claims over 650k accounts, though I highly suspect that they are counting every account ever made rather than active accounts (they delete accounts after about a month of inactivity). I've seen 500-1000 players on at once, maximum. Its notable, but IMO browser-based games have to stand up to a very high standard of notability to be recognized on Wikipedia. For example, Ogame has an article because it has over 2 million active players in Germany, and that was as of half a year ago. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 00:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. nonnotable, article was never even a half decent stub --Svartalf 03:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• KeepApologies in advance for the misformatting of this, i asked the owner of the game to try and save this being deleted. He has managed to compile some examples of local media coverage here http://www.gamestotal.com/corp/print/ as well as being listed in the dmoz. His english isnt that great and my internet skills arent either

As a note, the game was worthy enough for the above mentioned ogame.org to register and try and divert a domain towards they game at www.spacefe.com (The old domain was spacefed.com though it has been moved to gamestotal.com a year or so ago) Also noted should be the alexa ranking compared over a week for ogame and Gamestotal. Found for ogame.de here (Quoted as having 2 million players in germany) and the gamestotal domain here. If youll scroll down tot he numerical averages over time, Youll see the 1 week average is actually higher than ogame. Unfortunitly the next stage up it will goto the 3 month ave.
