[edit] Space Quest Omnipedia

NN wiki. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 02:02, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per WP:WEB. Alexa Ranking: 1,098,681. — The Hooded Man ♃♂ 03:13, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

It seems the nominator has not investigated any of these wikis, judging by later nominations, and I have not had time to do so. I agree with JJay that there may be more merit than an Alexa rating may provide. — The Hooded Man ♃♂ 03:19, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Like what? WP:WEB is the ONLY thing that should apply. That and the main page has less than 5000 hits and there are less than 1000 articles. This is a joke. If we have a standard and then ignore it for no discernable reason, what is the point? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 08:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. -- JJay 03:16, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Why? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 08:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Why not? It seems unique. How many other wikis focus on Space Quest? At the very least, the info should be merged to one of our space quest pages. -- JJay 09:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Space Quest Omnipedia is currently one of the links on the Space Quest page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Colin Kimbrell (talk • contribs) 22:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Good work and thanks. I guess if the nom had merged and redirected it would have eliminated the need for this vote. -- JJay 22:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Being a wiki does not procure notability. --Apostrophe 05:00, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - A site's use of MediaWiki is irrelevant in determining notability. FCYTravis 06:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• As a passionate Space Quest lover, I am glad that I have discovered this website exists. That doesn't mean the website is encyclopaedic, of course! Delete, completely unremarkable. It is merely a wiki, not the Space Quest community's oldest and most cherished site or anything (that would probably be the Virtual Broomcloset...it's the oldest, anyway).

• Delete. Clearly fails to meet WP:WEB in any way. Agnte 20:35, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. WP:WEB is just a guideline by which some but by no means all Wikipedians choose to operate. The site exists and is verifiable. Jcuk 21:44, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Existance and verifiability are not, by themselves, grounds for inclusion, especially in the case of webpages. It deserves an external link at Space Quest, but that's it. -Sean Curtin 06:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
