[edit] Rom-Hacks

Hello, and thanks for getting in touch with me about my opinions on Rom-Hacks.

I'm afraid to say that, simply put, Rom-Hacks are not notable enough to merit their own space in wikipedia, in my opinion. Because of this, they violate WP:NN, which, while not policy or a guideline, is a general rule of thumb on wikipedia, discussing if a subject is notable enough to warrent article space here. The fact is, they're not sold in any major (or minor) store, and the video game press doesn't review or cover them, which, in itself, makes WP:V, a wikipedia policy, very hard to uphold.

Because of all these reasons, I feel that Rom-Hacks, as a general rule, should not be on Wikipedia. I hope that this clears up your question.

[edit] Response

This guy is ridiculous. A friend of mine who made a Rom-Hack has an issue of a magazine in which his hack was featured. Going by a rule of thumb on Wikipedia? I'm pretty sure that everything that should be followed is in the insane about of rules and guidelines for the site. Also, various communities have thousands of members centralized on Rom-Hacking, and if there is an article on Rom-Hacking in general, why shouldn't the most popular hacks have a page?
