Encounter (urban street game) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is written like an advertisement. It has no reliable sources and no indication that it is notable. Evb-wiki (talk) 14:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Blatant spam. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as non notable. As it currently stands it might be elegable for speedy deletion per G12, but when that is fixed, there are still no claims of notability, or independent reliable sources. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Why spam? Why Advertisement? We just started reedit this article. This about real urban game, only game. Many people in all around the World plays in this game, likes geocashing, streetracing etc... We dont invating you, we want to talk you about this new activite. airevegny (talk) 15:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Give this user a break on the language part. He obviously doesn't speak English as his first language. If this article survives the vote, we can fix the language. See below for my vote. — Val42 (talk) 02:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per everyone above. Doesn't assert notability, doesn't have any reliable sources, etc. Will the closing admin please make sure to nuke the pics too? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:10, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I just tagged them all as disputed-fair-use. I probably should have tagged them more specifically, but that was as close as WP:TWINKLE got, and I thought they looked more like Fair Use anyway.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 20:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
    • What wrong with pics ? It's my own pics, and my created logo. And what do you mean about 'external sources' if all they in Russian language. Airevgeny —Preceding comment was added at 23:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete — This article could possibly stay if it had actually been noticed by some external source(s). The "sounds like an advertisement" could be cleaned up with this information. Without any notice by reliable sources, these things can't be fixed. — Val42 (talk) 02:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Val42,Evb-wiki and all - thanks a lot for you help and advices! I'll change this artilce. (like I change game's logo information with you help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Encounter.jpg) But unfortunately all external sources of the information on our game are written in Russian (plots of telechannels and clauses in newspapers) because this game was born in Russia. Whether also I do not know it is necessary to add them ?Airevgeny —Preceding comment was added at 11:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • English sources are always preferable, but Russian sources suffice in case the source is not available in English. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:01, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
