Talk:Replay Publishing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on 25 December 2007. The result of the discussion was keep, but merge others.

This page should not be deleted, as it provides information for fans, and interested parties, of sports simulation games from Replay Publishing. As such, it is similar in content to pages discussing APBA, Strat-O-Matic, and Statis Pro Baseball sports simulation games.

You need to be able to demonstrate notability. That means independent coverage by reputable sources. If you can do that then the article will not be deleted. Have they won any awards? Are there any independent reviews? If you can link anything like that then that will help. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they have had at least one of their products independently reviewed by a noted gaming website, BoardGameGeek. Fans have also reviewed their games at that site (in the forums). Would this be sufficient for notability? Kezzran (talk) 20:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Also covered by Tabletop-Sports, the main site for sports simulations, in this review Replay Baseball on Tabletop-Sports. I'm new to adding things to Wikipedai, so I'm curious as to how a page created to illuminate about Replay Sports would be deleted, but a sub-category, Replay Basketball, has it's own page that has been in existence since 02/07? Seems odd that that page would be notable, but the page about the company itself and its other games would not be! :) Kezzran (talk) 21:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Just another link to denote notability of this company and its products: Replay Baseball. Kezzran (talk) 21:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Site was given a video-game-company stub, but this is not a video game company. All of their games are board games, so I changed it to a board-game-stub instead. Kezzran (talk) 22:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Before this stub was created, Replay Publishing was cited as a source in three Negro League-related articles, to wit: Bullet Rogan, Milwaukee Bears, and Toledo Tigers. Links to this article have been added to those three. -- Couillaud (talk) 17:06, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replay Publishing Page SHOULD NOT be deleted

From an intellectual perspective, perhaps the best rationale for maintaining this page is that the company represents one of the few remaining enterprises serving a noteworthy American sub-culture which has been immortialized in literature by Robert Coover's "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Proprietor"

From a more practical perspective, this company represents one of only three major enterprises in its field. I frequently link my university teaching site (in e-commerce) to this company's site because it represents a fine example of a user centric website design and provides an interesting comparison and contrast to it's competitor's websites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Featherst1 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Important: The deletion discussion is going on here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Second_Season_Pro_Football. Please make your comments there, rather than here, so that they get considered as part of the deletion process. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:58, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
