Capture the Flag (Half-Life 2 mod)[edit]

Non-notable software mod with no sources, claims of notabilities, proof that its verifiable, etc... Delete as such. Wickethewok 13:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Rewrite. It's really unencyclopaedic at the moment, but as far as I know, Valve did some form of publicity thing by challenging the developers of the mod to a game of it, and included the mod in their news updates. Still, I'm not even sure if that's enough for notability. The current version of this page is horrendous, though. --Angry Lawyer 16:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, mods aren't notable. Recury 20:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Mods can be notable, but this article doesn't show notablility. --PresN 20:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but Rewrite It has been established in presN that mods are indeed notable. However, this article needs a rewrite. Nothing will be done on wikipedia however of any note if articles are deleted in their infancy. This particular mod has been commended by VaLVE, the creators of the Half-Life series of games and in some media sources. Immediate lack of such mention and the format of the article are grounds for a rewrite, not an immediate deletion. The following link gives a basic idea. http://www.steampowered.com/Steam/Marketing/January27.2006/ ~~--Palehorse864 06:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)~~— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.48.159.136 (talk • contribs) [reply]
Comment I don't know much about Half-Life 2, but besides that Valve played a game with them and promoted their mod, does having their mod being selected for distribution over STEAM with other selected mods and commercial products make the mod notable?[1] Or is any mod that reached a certain development stage allowed to be pushed through STEAM? I would guess there would have to be some kind of professional level cream-of-the-crop selection going on there. --SevereTireDamage 09:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, I can't seem to find any third party articles about it. Just message boards and such mostly. Can anyone find any third party reliable sources that show the relevance of this particular mod? Wickethewok 13:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete This article doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry. It explains what the mod is a mostly comprehensible way, but does not explain why it's important. If this can be added, keep, otherwise, dellete. Ace of Sevens 18:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Rewrite This could be an alright stub or even full article if it was written more as a factual reference and not as a simple guide I vote delete or full rewrite as per WP:NOT — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magosis (talk • contribs) 20:35, 20 August 2006
