The result was Delete This article has no reliable sources, and I could find none after a quick search. Also, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. GlassCobra 08:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warbook

Warbook (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This page has been tagged for notability for over a month with no significant improvements in that department. The sources provided are not third-party and thus not reliable per policy A search on Google finds no reliable sources - mainly unofficial strategy guides, various blog posts from people who play the game, and a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff after the first page or so. Most of the article is a rephrasing of the in-game FAQ, and therefore a bunch of statistics about various in-game elements. The last two sections contain entirely unsourceable trivia and /or complete speculation by whoever wrote it. I recommend that this article be deleted in accordance with the above linked policies.

Disclaimer and other notes: I am an active player of this game. I believe that I have also tagged one of the previous incarnations of this article for CSD. This page has been deleted twice previously under CSD A7. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 04:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Facebook has thousands of applications, and I'm sure some of them have more users using them. So I'd say it isn't notable. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 06:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• keep Facebook apps are a valid subject if they are popular. Warbook is quite popular. I think the article needs some work, but you guys are being too trigger happy. Brokenfrog (talk) 21:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep To some extent I agree that you're being trigger happy because the call for delete was started by only a select group of individuals. Facebook has thousands of applications, most of which are not very notable. What is one more RSS feed, Blogger, or Picture App going to do? That's what most applications are, however you fail to acknowledge the unique traits that this application provides that others do not. This is a game designed from the ground up. If you question Warbook's impact on society, then I have to question Camarilla (fan club) or DEFCON (computer game) because although equally ambitious neither of them have as large an player-base/impact as Warbook. This does not mean I approve of the state the article is in because it SHOULD BE CLEANED UP regardless of the final decision. Cadwal (talk) 03:43, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: I personally believe it's important enough to have a section on Facebook, though I do not believe that the length it currently has is appropriate. How about merge it with another article and shorten it to include only encyclopedic information (ie: History and a little bit about the game itself)? 65.3.198.134 (talk) 17:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I don't see the point in merging it. Improvements can be made, but no need to delete what is there. —Pengo 00:43, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
