[edit] Deletion of Flash game Flash Trek 2
Hi. just want to let you know, an editor has nominated Flash Trek 2, for deletion. the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria, and explained why in their nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
We'd appreciate your help with this matter. Please feel free to join the discussion, at: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flash Trek 2 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Appreciate if you could please help here, either by joining the discussion and/or improving the article. this is one of the most sophisticated Flash games, and one the most well-known. let's try to make sure that at least some of the signficant Flash games remain documented here at Wikipedia. --Steve, Sm8900 (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Current Events
- Former TNA professional wrestler Chris Harris has officially signed with World Wrestling Entertainment, as confirmed by himself in his personal website.
- Ron Killings is still being reported as having signed a WWE contract. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for his name to be continually added to the WWE Roster article, and information about his return being added to his article. There is also, apparently, an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick. Recent SmackDown! Taping spoilers indicate that he debuted under the name Kwik Killings in a Dark match. No reliable source has reported this as of now, however.
- Bobby Lashley has been released by WWE as of February 4
- On February 7, WWE announced that it would cease it's affiliation with Ohio Valley Wrestling.
- Also on February 7, WWE announced that SmackDown would be leaving The CW at the end of the 2007-2008 Television Season.
