LOL  :D Timmccloud (talk) 17:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Nah, I've had it for a while, I just figured these articles needed some out-of-universe perspective, and the first thing I thought of was "appearances in other media". The game is the closest thing that qualifies. Ig8887 (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Applegeeks

See the AFD page. You have one reference to Applegeeks (in the Stanford) when the guidelines call for two or more. I cannot find anything about this award nomination. (there was no reference for the award nomination) WhisperToMe (talk) 06:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harry's Legend - It had a brief mention on one notable publication, but that was not enough to save the article. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm well aware of the criteria. I said that I was in the PROCESS of looking for references, not that I had completed my search. The fact that you can't find anything about WCCA just means you didn't search very hard: Their wiki page is well-referenced, with coverage from the New York Times: Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards. --Ig8887 (talk) 06:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I found the reference for Applegeeks: http://ryanestrada.com/wcca/ceremony/characterart.htm - But the question is whether the organization is notable. All you have are flimsy/not enough sources. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Look, you seem to be under the impression that I need to prove something to you, personally. I don't. I will take my time gathering my references and then present them to the AfD. I have no intention of even attempting to change your mind; I present my arguments for those who have not yet made their decision. The WCCA's have been judged notable by the New York Times and the Wikipedia community in an AfD [1] last year. Whether or not you think they are notable frankly doesn't interest me; consensus says they are. Unless you're saying your opinion is more important than consesus? --Ig8887 (talk) 07:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About a Mass Nom

See here. -Jéské (v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing) 03:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh well, I suppose, but it's just tedious to respond to all of them. That's why mass nominations are possible. --Ig8887 (talk) 04:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Not with respect to D&D - the last mass-nom crashed and burned spectacularly because the nominator had shown himself in other places as having an axe to grind against RPGs en generale. The current ones are marred by the fact that there is some concern over the tags on those articles (largely because the tagger didn't bother to read the article and has no idea what an RPG is). -Jéské (v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing) 04:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Can I just add that, as a heavy role-player myself, these nominations will hopefully be a little more successful in terms of achieving something. J Milburn (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mass D&D AfDs

You reccomended combining the AfDs- trust me, that would have achieved nothing, it would have just been closed as being too broad. The only way this cruft is gonna get deleted (or converted into something encyclopedic) is if each one is nominated individually. And there are probably many more to come... J Milburn (talk) 18:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I see that now. I just had a conversation about it above. I wasn't familiar with the last mass AfD, just the usual Gavin Collins stuff. --Ig8887 (talk) 18:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Possibly you're interested in centralised discussion regarding the nominations? Just to let you know it's there, better to stick general comments there instead of on individual AfDs. J Milburn (talk) 19:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Come build something constructive!

Instead of worry about whether something needs to go away, why not help build something up? Take a look at User:BOZ/List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters, check out the pages it links to, see what's been done already, and see if there's anything you want to add. BOZ (talk) 22:18, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria)

It looks like the consensus is to keep this article, the concerns raised have been/are being addressed. Are you willing to close the nomination now? Mjroots (talk) 08:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I see no reason not to leave that for an admin to do. --Ig8887 (talk) 10:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
