The result was delete. Having big numbers or liking a game are not reasons to keep an article. A lack of reliable sources to prove notability are reasons to delete.--Wafulz 03:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lords of Legend

Lords of Legend (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Web content (it calls itself a MMORPG, but it is web based) that does not demonstrate notability with the use of independent sources. No citations other than the Lords of Legend website. It falls right on the borderline of where I'd speedily delete it under criterion A7, so this nomination is a strong delete nomination. —C.Fred (talk) 00:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

• How exactly would you expect a Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game not to be web based? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Most of the commercial ones use proprietary servers and clients and not the http protocol, such as World of Warcraft. I'm not saying that makes it any less inherently notable, but I am saying that web content is eligible for speedy deletion, and that definitionally, this game is web content. —C.Fred (talk) 23:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep - Some of the statistics for it look slightly signifigant and it is listed as "one of the top RP games".

P.S. Regardless of what happens to the article thank you for nominating this for deleting fred, It looks fun! :) Cheers. -Ĭ₠ŴΣĐĝё 04:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course it is. If you look at the site carefully, you'll see that people can add their own game to the list and the rating is done by the players (so you can easily manipulate those by asking your players to vote and give it the highest rating to offset any criticism). The site shows no editorial control or expert judgement from someone not related to the game. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep It - Unless you plan on deleting every single page for ever other MMORPG page. - Nintendo|^(talk) June 15th 8:11 PM PST
• Delete I can find no information in independent sources discussing this game. To the above commenter, there are plenty of MMORPG games (even web-based ones!) which easily pass our current criteria. I don't see a "if you delete this, you must also delete Everquest and World of Warcraft" slippery slope here. JavaTenor 22:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
