Revision as of 15:26, 22 April 2009
FreeOrion
AfDs for this article:- FreeOrion (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Back for the third time. New version, so it dodges G4 CSD, but it still doesn't assert a single evidence of notability. Thoughts? - Vianello (Talk) 10:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Keep The article is well written and just as valid as most of other opensource project pages. I will personally work on improving it even further when necessary. Here's an review of the game btw http://freeorion.en.softonic.com/ . The project/game is also well referred among Master of Orion and 4X strategy game communities.Peer-LAN (talk) 11:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Response. Unfortunately, a personal assessment of "gamer community" is not a reliable source. A review's more a step in the right direction. - Vianello (Talk) 11:07, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Delete & salt - still no reliable sources supporting a verifiable and neutral article. MLauba (talk) 11:59, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Delete & salt. The only references are from its own website and sourceforge. Clearly not notable, and the author has not made any attempt to establish notability following previous AfD discussions. Quantpole (talk) 12:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Keep What's with all the hate? The article is good and the project is well enough known, well better position then most open source game with wikipedia pages. Some aditional links http://www.happypenguin.org/show?Free%20Orion, http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20080511064350671/FreeOrion.html Dauntless (talk) 12:16, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

- Response. That's just not true. It is a notable open source game, with over fifty thousand google results, with packages for several Linux distribution and Windows/Mac. It is notable, I can give millions of examples of articles (not game related) that have fewer results (not that I support the removal of those). Look, I just pushed the random button and I got Dale L. Walker, Cassidy's Ltd,Victor Pasmore, BTC Racing, Cotelsat, Marcos Elias, etc. I could go on for ever! This game is notable enough. The fact that open source games don't have advertisement on commercial game magazines doesn't mean that it's not N. This game is notable whether you like it or not, and there are a whole lot more things out there then this wikipedia page that deserver attention.

- Merge to Master of Orion per WP:NNC if sufficient RS to establish N cannot be found. Seems to have sufficient sourcing to meet V, so salting is absolutely not appropriate. Jclemens (talk) 14:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
