Delete fails WP:WEB -- lucasbfr ^talk 09:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

definitely keep

Keep i think something that's been running for 6 years and has 78k+ registered users is notable. Mgfcmartinez

• From a look at Google results, [1] certain forums and blogs seem to be enamored of this project; other than that there are no reliable sources documenting its existence, and none mentioned in the article either. Kill. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-25 12:46Z
• Delete Non-notable, unsourced, and just because it has 78k registered users doesn't mean jack. WP:BIGNUMBER and WP:WEB come into play here I believe. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 12:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. So this is a website with a button that says "Kill", and when you press it, nothing happens, right? No significant impact on culture, and no significant media attention either for that matter. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Kill. It's ridiculously nonnotable. Yes, I think Minesweeper is a silly game also, but not as silly as this. YechielMan 14:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. No reason to delete Chesspieceface 23:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It's notably ridiculous. There were internal links to this page, but they keep getting deleted. It's mentioned in blogs, it's mentioned in web comics (Real Life made TKEP notable). Go back and read WP:WEB. Contrary to popular belief it does not say that something must have an off-web notability in order to be notable.

Also I am curious of the timing of this AFD. The article has existed for two and a half years; why is it suddenly not notable enough on the day of completion? I suspect that (like me) Qapf heard on the radio this morning that The Kill Everyone Project is reaching its end. I suspect that (unlike me) Qapf didn't know what it was and looked it up in Wikipedia. If so, Qapf found it through its notability. If not, Qapf, you need to explain your actions. Perhaps you should withdraw this AFD for a few weeks on the grounds that it makes you look petty, even if you weren't.

POV Notice: I have over 30,000, and I have edited this article. — Randall Bart ^(talk) 21:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

P.S. It literally ended while I was composing the above, and my body count is 33333. — Randall Bart ^(talk) 00:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete Complete lack of any reliable, non-trivial, independent sources. Alleged mentions in blogs surely do not constitute this. Timing of this AFD is irrelevant, this article has no notability. This is (allegedly, again no legit sources) a website where you click on the screen and if you do it enough you can call other users "noobs"...?? It doesn't cut it.
