[edit] Notability

Seems this category is starting to find some non-notable articles that are basically ads for someones MUD and provide little encylopedic value. I seem to recall having this problem before in the previous category...

I think perhaps we should go through the list and do a bit of cleanup. I'm not overly familiar with MUSH'ing, so I honestly have no idea about which of those are notable, but I'm going to go ahead and notability mark a few of the others.

If anyone wants to assist, please do. This is an encylopedia, not a MUD listing. :)

I've been doing some pruning here and there; trying to get rid of most of the vanity/advertising, guides/faqs and instruction manuals that are dotted around in the MUD catagory. Although like you I've not much idea what is notable or not.Marasmusine 14:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Some ideas of what makes a MUD notable have been discussed in the Talk:MUD page. Essentially to be notable a MUD must have been operating for a fair number of years, have, or have had a sizable player base, and have had notable impact on the MUD community (for better or for worse). --Thoric 14:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Sounds reasonable. Much more reasonable than those who admit they don't know what is notable doing the tagging and nominating. That excludes me as well, as I have no idea either. :-) Carcharoth 15:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I've started pruning as well. I am very involved with the MUSHing community and honestly? I wouldn't even put my own game on here. MUSHes by and large are not notable. Any of them. Rubydanger (talk) 03:22, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
