[edit] X3 Generation

Vanity. Basically promoting a website. -- VelocityEX 05:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Why does it have to do with Wikipedia? Aren't pretty much all articles unrelated to Wikipedia?--APLmath 06:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. Nevertheless, it's still vanity. You don't see other websites having pages here, do ya? --VelocityEX 06:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Half of the article is a list of non-notable users. Also, the article is completely unsourced, probably due to a lack of things to source. tmopkisn tlka 06:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This is just a add one to the many great and random things Wiki has. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.84.121 (talk • contribs)
Note: the above user's only contributions have been to the article in question. HumbleGod 07:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Delete and Comment. "Greatness", at least on Wikipedia, has to be sourced. --ColourBurst 07:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete advertisemnet for nn site Dlyons493 Talk 07:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, only 42 unique Ghits for site, 61 unique Ghits for "x3gen" nickname. Appears to fail WP:WEB. HumbleGod 07:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:WEB. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 07:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Notability is a concern. While we're at it, "X3 Generation" gets 2,280 Google hits ([1]), "x3gen" gets 3,320 ([2]). Luna Santin 10:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Spam. Artw 14:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as WP:WEB and WP:SPAM and as HumbleGod. DavidHumphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUT THE THINGS I MESSED UP 15:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Wikipedia is designed to allow people to make pages for various subjects like this. Orien

In fact, I do. For example: YTMND, Gaia Online.--APLmath 17:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I do know that X3 Generation has around 10 partner websites. If included in the article, how will this help?--APLmath 17:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

If other websites are allowed to have wiki pages, why not this one? Orien

Comment Other websites are allowed, but not every website. What has X3 Generation done to make itself notable? What has it been involved with that would make someone outside of X3 care about it enough to want to look it up in an encyclopedia? Resolute 14:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment This wiki page wasn't given enough time to expand. This website has done tons of things for the community. For example, one of the adminstrators created a rather popular theme (SMFGeneration) for Simple Machines Forum. There are tons more that hasn't been added yet. Orien
I'm not sure why anyone outside of X3 and SMF would care, but good for that admin. Also, the page still exists. You can still expand it if you feel you can add anything that will add notability. As is often mentioned, this is not a vote, so all of these delete comments mean nothing if you can turn the article into something worthwhile to the encyclopedia. Resolute 04:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per HumbleGod. Partnership with other sites means nothing. Danny Lilithborne 23:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • KeepThe contributions to this article are all by members of the site. It isn't vanity. It isn't a big lost to us if the wikipage is deleted we have an active community after all. Fireport (UTC)
  • Delete per Fireport. It isnt a big loss to his community if this vanity article is deleted. Resolute 05:10, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
