This article seriously does not appear to be encyclopedic in any way. It seems more like it's a clan web site which the clan are "hosting" via wikipedia. Plasma 12:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if I seem a bit angry here but its NOT a website, we have our own website which is clearly stated in the external links, its encyclopedic in the fact that it states information about the clans past and present. --Zementh 12:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- So what if you already have a site? It doesn't change what is present here. To put it this way, would you expect the Encyclopedia Britannica to contain this kind of content under any conceivable circumstances? You may find places like Everything2 to be more appropriate for this kind of material, and even then I'm not sure. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, for encyclopedic material, not for writing about your personal gaming clan. Plasma 13:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Gaming clans aren't notable. -- GWO

- Well, yes. But also by long standing precedent. I usually defer to precedent: I've given up arguing about Jefferson High School, Tinyville, Ohio. -- GWO
- You what now? --Zementh 15:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think High Schools are intrinsically notable. Wikipedia policy seems to think they are. I've stopped arguing about it. --- GWO

- Delete per WP:NOT a free web host and precedent for gaming clans like these. This article is also not encylopedic in so many ways. Ydam 13:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Re Like I said, we already have a website. --Zementh 13:30, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand how that has a bearing on the arguments I've made Ydam 13:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The fact that I'm not using it as a web server, and it would help if you actually put a reason to why you think its not encyclopedic. --Zementh 13:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The DAA Wiki/site News is the best example. It's not in an encylopedic tone. The stuff in that section is not suitable material for an encyclopedia and it's self referential.
- Delete per nom and Ydam.--Andeh 13:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not-notable by the consensus opinion of Wikipedia's editors. Gwernol 13:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Well its obvious I've lost this battle, go ahead and delete it. --Zementh 13:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this can be speeded now per WP:CSD G7 Ydam 13:43, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
