[edit] User:Styrofoam1994/Offbeat

Social networking page. Causing disruption see WP:AN Agathoclea (talk) 14:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep. It's just a game. And it is not an encyclopedia article. Can't we have some fun on the user pages? What about the Wikipedia:Department of Fun? It has some very similar aspects. It is not disruptive at all, and it is only adding words. We are not allowed to release anger or suspicion there, so it is perfectly okay. _contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 14:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. It's certainly an enjoyable game for editors and it doesn't bother me in any way. As long as the game avoids personal attacks such as going from the word Evil to the name of a user, then it should be fine. Best regards--DurzaTwink^TALK 18:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete a good plaefor these is off-wiki. The links will still work. DGG (talk) 19:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Then according to you, the WP:Department of Fun stated above should be deleted too. _contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 19:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Merge to Wikipedia:Sandbox/Word Association. –Pomte 04:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete The Wikipedia:Department of Fun argument does not hold up for two reasons: 1) See WP:WAX and 2) the DoF does not cause disruption to the workings of this wiki (see above linked WP:AN post) --omtay38 06:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

• But how does my game disrupt the community? _contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 20:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

• "see above linked WP:AN post" --omtay38 20:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, it does interfere with the process, but nothing bad happened directly because of that. _contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 20:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep - Ok, I have just searched on Google and have not found any copyrighted word game that is similar to your Offbeat game. Therefore, with my argument thwarted, I vote Keep.

I think you're supposed to replace your delete statements with your Keep statements or else the others will be confused at your final opinion. _contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994^TALK 00:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I have edited the page accordingly.[User:Boromir Captain of Gondor|Boromir Captain of Gondor]] (talk) 00:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete I'm gonna go with a delete since we're not in the business of hosting facebook-like (game) apps. MBisanz ^talk 03:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, usually I have no opinion on games, but there's no point in having this one. WP isn't Facebook. --Coredesat 11:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Same reason as the above keeps--Sorcd2 (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC) - blocked as sockpuppet Agathoclea (talk) 00:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
