The article Xenocide rpg has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 16:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Again, see Wikipedia:Notability -- the only thing your article said about this game's notability was that it had 600 users, which isn't an assertion of notability at all. There were no independent sources showing news coverage or any other assertion of notability. Finally, the existence of other articles that should also be deleted doesn't mean that yours must be kept -- see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. NawlinWiki 17:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
