[edit] The Chronicles of Spellborn

The Chronicles of Spellborn (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Advert for a non-notable unreleased game. CiaranG 17:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Note Multiple accounts who contributed to this AfD are suspected confirmed sockpuppets per Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Infomanager. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete - as per nom. Reads like an advert. Ronbo76 17:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete at least until it's released or near to being. At the moment the publisher is listed as "unknown". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Koweja 19:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per WP:CSD, specifically G11 (blatant advertising). The article was created by a user named Freeze tcos (TCOS = The Chronicles of Spellborn) with exactly five contributions within an hour and a half: Two updates to the article itself, uploading an image for the logo, and adding information about the game to List of MMORPGs and Massively multiplayer online first-person shooter.

• Delete until the game is released or a publisher is announced. Alan Shatte 21:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC) ← See checkuser request on this user. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I am not convinced that it is an advertisement. The game has many articles at IGN PC, the latest being dated in October. [1] Gamerankings lists 6 previews [2] from notable websites like GameSpot, 1UP, and IGN.

• Weak delete. I would change to Keep if rewritten by a neutral editor. (I might do it if I have extra free time, but don't hold your breath.) Although game is probably notable enough, the current version of the article has WP:COI issues. --Alan Au 05:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
  • As I wrote in your talk page, if you need help with this let me know. Jessica Anne Stevens 06:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep the article doesn't claim anything extraordinary that would make the COI issues larger than its notability. Paul D. Meehan 05:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC) ← See checkuser request on this user. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Paul and others. Gisele Hsieh 20:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC) ← See checkuser request on this user. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Everything besides the author seems okay. Other Wikipedians have shown interest in helping with the article, so it has some merit besides being a vanity/promotional piece. Brad Guzman 20:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC) ← See checkuser request on this user. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Brad's reasoning. It seems pointless to remove an article just to rewrite a substantially similar version. Not to mention that doing so will probably just result in a AfD nomination Alan Shatte 21:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC) ← See checkuser request on this user. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Encyclopedic article, about notable software. Joel Jimenez 04:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC) ← See checkuser request on this user. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as a notable MMORPG that's received attention from various sources. Tarinth 10:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
