[edit] The Classroom

I feel that this article isn't very significant, and doesn't deserve a place in wikipedia. Simply an article that advertises/tells about the game. Website does not generate many visitors. Fails WP:WEB criteria. Does not even have a page rank on Alexa. GamePlayer623 02:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  Comment In the article itself, it is stated that it won the daily featured contest on this website. I am not sure that this award in itself is notable but Classroom 1 counts more than 5 million views across the internet. Further research is needed to be done here. But a google search proves impossible here and this must be taken into consideration as well. For the time being, I have decided to reserve my comments about this article temporarily. Maybe a rewrite of this article is required here. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 04:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MGS_3_:_Crab_Battle for a similar debate over flash movie/game. Specifically, WP:WEB even states that content hosted on newgrounds is trivial. Mitaphane _talk 08:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, pending revelations of notability. From what I see here, I see none. AdamBiswanger1_{R.I.P. Steve Irwin} 13:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hosting on Newgrounds does not count as a non-trivial source, being pick of the day is.. nice, but then there's a pick of the day every single day. Even if it has been viewed 5 million times, what exactly does that mean? At best it means someone has downloaded that particular flash game that many times, presumably many will be players accessing it multiple times. It's a free game on a site designed to pull punters in by sheer volume of 'phree stuff', people go to get a little rest for nowt then go take a shower or whatever. Imagine if a load of bakers marched across cities all over the world offering free slices of chocolate cake, then declared it amazing that they've shifted x million slices. Well of course they will, I'd have no difficulty in passing out £5 notes and chart CDs either. If someone can show that the 'feature of the day' is significant or that there's some notability citations out there, I'll gladly change the vote, but these flash games etc. seem to be taking liberties.

• Delete per nom. Although the game is pretty well known, I've never even heard of the author or his/her website. --FlyingPenguins 02:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

  Comment Not hearing about the author or his/her website before, is not strong reasons for deleting this article. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 22:38, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
