No evidence of notability, Wikipedia is not a game guide. Mr.Z-man 23:05, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't

This page was put up for speedy deletion. May I ask why? If it is for the dancing gif, I taged it wrong. There are so many different copyright licenses and none really fit the description for these images. Imagery from this game is usable on web sites. So I'm an using the {{GFDL}} tag.
If it is because the page is missing something, give me a chance I just started working on it. For citations reputable sources are few and far between the game isn't even in commercial yet. It's still open beta.

Chzz where is the copyright violation these images are free under gnu Jasenm222 (talk) 11:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trim Take out most of the gameguide information and link to Luna Online Wiki. There are a small bunch of references, but most are probably not reliable. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 14:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete – I can only find one reliable source in there that provides some coverage, which I don't think is enough to substantiate an article as of yet. But remember, if the article gets deleted, you can still have it userfied where you are still able to work on the page. MuZemike 14:36, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Given the developments during the AFD, I still have to stand for deletion at this point. Perhaps when more significant coverage for this MMORPG comes in from reliable sources, we can include it. Not now, however. MuZemike 07:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The article needs serious work. Right now it looks like a cheezy fan site - about 99% of the images gotta go, especially anything animated. Probably best to userfied in a sandbox per MuZemike's suggestion until the article can be cleaned, and delete the original. It's not really standing on much at the moment, and I couldn't find much, but that doesn't mean some time in a sandbox can't improve this article and give it more reliable sources to back up why it belongs here at Wikipedia. Long story short: move it to a sandbox to be worked on, delete the public article. --Teancum (talk) 17:19, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think userfication is really the best idea here. The article, as is, is almost 100% inappropriate for Wikipedia. It basically needs a total rewrite from scratch. Additionally, notability concerns can't really be handled by normal editing. Even the user who is (currently) the main author of the article admits that there are few reliable sources for it. Mr.Z-man 17:35, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am inclined to agree. If the subject is not notable then it is both unfair, and creating future problems for WP, to hold out false hope to the author. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think it should be cut down to something like what it is now _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 20:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Images must be added for a video games

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games "The Video Games Images department is a working group of individuals dedicated to ensuring that all video game-related articles have images, whether they are boxart, screenshots, or both, as well as the required fair use rationale." The game is cheesy how do I get images that aren't??? I admit I have much more info then most articles. I am moving to user page I'll try to rewrite more Blah. Jasenm222 (talk) 18:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but images don't mean dancing characters. They mean screenshots demonstrating gameplay, and other things that would be useful for an encyclopedia. --Teancum (talk) 19:06, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No third-party, reliable coverage. Every citation is for a press release. Marasmusine (talk) 16:47, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Unless reliable sources are located establishing notability. I couldn't find any. Narthring (talk • contribs) 05:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
