All we have on this topic are four sentences from three listings. A search brought only primary and unreliable source material. Not enough to meet the significant coverage criteria of the GNG: We can't write an encyclopedia that does justice to the topic with this little information. The entire "controversy" section has no mention in reliable, secondary sources. There are no worthwhile redirect targets, since List of MUDs only accepts entries with their own articles. czar 21:49, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Article already cites three books, I also turned up this paper on google scholar in my first search. - MrOllie (talk) 21:59, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- "Three books" = three mentions from listings in three books (listicles of the 1990s). That citation is the same story: A brief mention pulled from an undergrad thesis (Zen 2003). Can't write an article on this topic without delving into primary source original research, as in the material you restored to the article. czar 22:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- Undergrad theses occasionally get it right, one way we know when that happens is they get cited and quoted in a journal, which is what happened here. MrOllie (talk) 22:11, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- My bad—wasn't a thesis but a 100-level course paper. czar 22:18, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - Brief mentions aren't significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. I have to agree with czar there's very little here to go on. Red Phoenix 13:41, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete No significant coverage from reliable sources and therefore fails WP:GNG. Most coverage in reliable sources are just trival mentions. Spy-cicle💥 13:49, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
