Valhalla legends

Non-notable, just some guys who play a game online together, nothing in the slightest bit encyclopedic about it, just gamer vanity. DreamGuy 06:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, the article was around and was a stub. I recently expounded and added actual and accurate information to it, and all of a sudden it's listed under "Articles for Speedy Deletion." The group has had over 1700 members in the latest iteration of its message boards (which is I believe the third iteration). Its services have provided for tens of thousands of people (see BNLS, which I haven't checked to see if that's been marked too), if not hundreds of thousands, when one considers the wide distribution of Blizzard Entertainment's vastly distributed software. If this needs to be included in the article, then fine -- but I don't think that the article should be deleted.

  • Keep
The members of Valhalla Legends are known as pioneers in developing gaming software, in a community that exceeds 500,000 users; further, they actively host a very well known support forum for their products, which has sub-forums to support those learning C++, C, VB, Java, and many other programming languages.
It is something that many will be interested in reading more about, and looking up, so is certainly a positive addition to Misplaced Pages and should be kept.

Although this is something I have given consideration to, it seems that this topic merge would also be inappropriate; BNLS is a user authentication system, and while Valhalla Legends is very much tied to this system, it is hardly their single accomplishment.

That would be inappropriate. Robert Paveza 17:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah that's special, of course, there is a web page. Robert Paveza 17:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
I have verified with one of the members who created BNLS that, although he doesn't have unique connection statistics, the BNLS server was around a year or two ago regularly receiving over 350,000 connections per day. 2,000 forum members might not be many, but that is quite a few connections.
