[edit] Warpstorm

Does not appear to meet the suggested guidelines at WP:WEB. The site has around 120 members or so, and does not seem to have any significant impact beyond the core group of users. Listing here rather than at WP:PROD because an editor disagreed with and removed the {{PROD}} tag. Joyous | Talk 04:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is not a novelty site, if you consider our affiliation with Freespace 2, Hard Light, Volition, and legal battles with Games Workshop, Ltd over the name. WS is a site that has kept on going after any other site would have given up. It's an inspiration to many. And yes, I stole the time/date tag from TheRingess. Considering the original delete nom came from Dragonfiend maybe I should include some of his wikis:

[1]

Several of his include webcomics, WS started the web comic nerrds.

In fact, several of Dragonfiend's entries appeal to a smaller group than the impact of Warpstorm.

This article has been marked for deletion before it's even finished. We have not had the time to include more than 80% of the content that is relevant to the article. It was marked no less than a few hours from when it was written.

Terence Ong, according to his "bio" "spend most of my time looking at AFDs. That's nice.

• You like this. It means the article was looked at by someone who really, really deeply understands the Wikipedia inclusion criteria and is strongly committed to them. That makes Wikipedia a better encylopedia. -ikkyu2 (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

In addition, Nyxfall and Terran Imperium (published stories) is cross-linked to Warpstorm, so when that part of the article goes up, it would be good to have it known where the stories originated from.

One last thing, instead of a mod posting to "delete per nom," In cases such as this, where we are not some bored internet geek looking to pass the time that they should post an independent reason of their own for why the feel it shouldn't be deleted. member count of a forum is not a good reason... a member count is just a number. I've seen dead websites with thousands of users.

• Keep Warpstorm has had far more then 120 members. That is all that is left after many site crashes throughout its history. The site has made an impact beyond the current "core" membergroup. As stated, Warpstorm has spun off a number of other forums and websites. IcyGeddon 05:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom; why this is on Wikipedia at all is beyond me. Melchoir 07:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it is NOT one of those articles that someone leaves the word "Hi" then never returns to it again. spinninghippo 03:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep heretic makes a good case. K0d3 19:05, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Alternately, why this is trying to be deleted off Wikipedia is beyond me. I have yet to see any reason as to how this page is inadmissible to Wikipedia. This page falls well within the parameters of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The criteria for WP:WEB content has been met, citing heretic's evidence for example. Furthermore, this page still has a great deal of content to be added. Warpstorm may not have universal fame, but this page is notable, verifiable, neutral, without original research, and with reliable and cited sources. Eberwolf 21:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Like previously stated, heretic makes a good case, and this page has potential. T1g4h 22:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Even Alexa never heard of this site --Ruby 00:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
