• Delete per nom.--み使い Mitsukai 15:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn game mod MLA 16:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• DON'T Delete It's no commercial advertising. It presents a FREE mod for a FREE multiplatform game. It gave me weeks of fun with (mostly) cool people. It's like presenting a community too. The only similitude with commercial stuff is its quality. Besides that, there are entries for the whole Quake series, etc... and this one should be removed ? pollen.--Pollen2 20:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, just saying "it isn't an ad" doesn't make it less an ad. Even re-writing it to have a more neutral tone, you'd have to establish notability. Kuru ^talk 20:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Nothing more than an advertisement. --Hetar 20:53, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• DON'T Delete This is THE FREE mod that works on all major platforms (Linux, MS and Mac) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.226.166.160 (talk • contribs) .
• Strong Delete per this. If you guys could please post the stuff above to the url below so we can keep the wiki page Naconkantari e|t||c|m 21:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I am for Redirect as well, per nlitement. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 05:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

On the other hand, Strong Delete both articles per this If somehow a silly admisntrator who doesn't know a bit about games comes and thinks he fits it right for deletion, I will personally discuss about the issue of "AfD whoring with game articles by game-illiterals" to the Wikimedia Foundation and founder of Wikipedia and its siter projects, Mr. Jimmy Wales. Wikipedeia works on consensus, not threats of wiki-action. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 21:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment as un-cool as that link is Naconkantari, I fail to see why that should change your vote on the other article, which is well written, and accurate. And as much as I hate to say it, many of the editors on wikipedia DO know nothing about games, or just enough to make "dangerous" judgements. Doesn't make the person you quoted in the link right, but it doesn't make the people who are saying this mod is "non-notable" right either. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 14:52, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable game mod. — Adrian Lamo ·· 21:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• DO Not Delete Does not qualify as advertising, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.150.143.10 (talk • contribs) .
• Don't don't delete, in other words, delete. -ikkyu2 (talk) 22:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I already created an article a week ago about True Combat: Elite. God, I'm just so ashamed... I'm not going to tell why, but this is something unprofessional from the team that I'd see. I feel quite bad that a duplicate article ended up into VfD right ago, and my article wasn't even edited at all after my somewhat decent article. I'm going to arrange the weapons list on my entry into a table, or someone else very nice could help me out. Sorry, I edited my comment since you must understand how angry I got. I am a more irritatable person than the Average Joe. Thank you. EDIT: So I'd just redirect to my article. --nlitement ^[talk] 22:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to True Combat: Elite, which is a well-written page, as per nlitement. Almost 75,000 Google hits implies notable enough. -- Mithent 23:50, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I do not believe that neither this article or the other one similar to it is notable enough for a Wikipedia article per WP:WEB and WP:SOFTWARE. Although the software is what the article is about, I believe the website's Alexa ranking notes how isolated this software is from mainstream attention.

• Redirect to True Combat: Elite unless that gets deleted too, in which case delete. --kingboyk 01:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect as above. --InShaneee 04:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No context. Advert. Serious cruft. -- Krash (Talk) 17:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

• 'Redirect to True_Combat:_Elite. By the way, this game is actually notable in the video game community. Mods are the one group of games where Alexa rankings are largely useless because players only need to visit the website once. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 14:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
