  • Delete Fails WP:WEB not notibility shown.--Dacium 03:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to Wikipedia:Encyclopedia Gamia as it's a good target for stuff transwiki'd from here. --- RockMFR 04:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment:Care to explain? I'm unfamiliar with what the difference is.--AlphaTwo 07:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep: Checking "What links here" reveals that the page is referenced as a place to transfer content over when Game Articles fails to stay in Wikipedia. --AlphaTwo 07:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep: I guess the site is too small to be on wikipedia. But what happened to Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games where wikipedia articles that were for gaming be nominated to one of three sites (the Encyclopedia Gamia being one of them)? --Cs california 10:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • (Reply to both previous comments) Templates also include StrategyWiki and GamerWiki yet they've also had their articles deleted (GamerWiki ages ago, StrategyWiki more recently). Keeping EG would be inconsistent in that case. I'd prefer to have StrategyWiki and GamerWiki relisted, but that's been tried and failed. Therefore begrudgingly delete, for consistency.

  • Still that does not answer my question why were these pages deleted if they are used to remove some of the gaming material not allowed on Wikipedia? What happened to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games project? I would my opinion to move since Wikipedia can dump their unwanted gaming material here --Cs california 03:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • There is no need to have an article in order to be a valid place for porting of overspill content. Neither GamerWiki nor StrategyWiki have WP entries; I've changed the Gamecleanup template to link to the individual wikis instead of the List of Wikis. Tim 17:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Great thanks for the answer, Now I think we can properly nominate this for deletion! I was just worried that some edits of other articles would be lost. --Cs california 19:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikis are not inherently notable. This one fails WP:WEB. Being a repository for crap that gets deleted from Wikipedia does not make it notable. GassyGuy 19:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:WEB.-- danntm T C 20:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to Wikipedia:Encyclopedia Gamia seconded. I would prefer that the wiki be a target for transwiki for things that are too specific for Wikipedia's taste than disappear altogether. I also don't have a problem being consistent with what's happened to the other wikis. I say this as the administrator of the EG. --Achernar Dni 22:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or Move to Wikipedia:Encyclopedia Gamia Mathmo Talk 01:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Query Out of sheer curiosity, why would it be helpful to have this in the Wikipedia namespace? GassyGuy 02:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • My guess is so that information not fit for WP can be kept for some other wiki? By the way, I support the move to WP space motion. - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 04:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • That's all well and good. I'm all for that. But what does that have to do with retaining this article? It can be transwiki-ed regardless of the status of this article on Wikipedia, be it in article space, Wikipedia namespace, or none at all.

  • When I said move, I implied that it's not fit at article space, so move it out of article space. - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 12:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
