Caledon, Second Life[edit]

Non-notable region in Second Life. Hemlock Martinis (talk) 20:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article does nothing to suggest why this region is notable, and I don't see a big wave of articles on other SL regions, either. 23skidoo (talk) 20:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya. Sorry, this is a stub, and my first article. should be working on it in a sandbox, apparently. The region is one of the top visited location in Second Life, and is a strong center of SL culture. What is the best way for me to proceed to build the article without it being flagged?

Working on fleshing it out and improving citations. Thanks for your patience. --Librarian Avenger (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per absence of real-world notability. Did find a handful of passing mentions in reliable sources [1] but nothing of any substance. nancy ^(talk) 14:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very Strong Keep, as "real-world notability" is only half the question here. As Librarian Avenger said, Caledon is one of the most significant, if not THE most significant regions in Second Life not specifically owned by Linden Lab. It has grown enormously within a very short period of time, and is the crest of the wave of the growing interest in steampunk even outside of the usual genre niches. Caledon has developed a strong community which extends beyond Second Life itself. Merely because of its virtual context, it should not be delegated to some bin of "notability" merely because a handful of people have not heard of it YET.

This article can get fixed up, it just needs some time. Yes, I will admit to some bias as I am a part of said community, but in this case it merely means I can see where it can be a significant reference better than those who have not even visited. The significance of 3D immersive environments has yet to crest, as well. Corgi (talk) 21:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If the significance of 3d immersive environments has yet to crest, then this article is about a non-notable subject, and it can be deleted until it becomes notable. --Nick Penguin_(contribs) 23:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - real world notability is all that matters here. If the only assertion of notability is that it is the most significant region in SL, then merge to SL. It only gets its own article if it is notable on its own. -- Mark Chovain 00:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
