Solomon's Temple BBS[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a single relaunched Bulletin board system that does not show any sign of notability. Given sources are either self-published or do not mention the subject. Tagged for CSD, was changed to Prod - denied by an IP without giving a reason. Ben Ben (talk) 10:01, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm aware that a BBS technically isn't part of the internet. --Ben Ben (talk) 10:31, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Way too promotional. Also lacks notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as spam. -- Whpq (talk) 17:27, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Obviously promotional and lacking any independent coverage. The only independent sources cited don't mention this BBS at all but are actually used to WP:SYNthesisze some claims by comparison. Someone not using his real name (talk) 22:10, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I am just wondering why this page should be deleted but in the list of BBS systems found at List_of_bulletin_board_systems, most of the other systems listed here do not have any sources but are allowed to stay on Wikipedia. I feel that if Solomon's Temple BBS is deleted then so should these other systems that have been on this list such as Demon_Roach_Underground, to give an example. I do see how the article can look promotional as this was not intended. I was just showing the services that the board hosts. I am also looking for suggestions for improving the article. I have been looking at adding more sources but this is hard considering most of the sources for BBS systems were from the time this system was just getting started and some sources would be on sites that are no longer on the internet.Williammea05 (talk) 05:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If you find other articles failing WP:GNG, by all means nominate them for deletion. Their existence doesn't preclude deleting this one though. Someone not using his real name (talk) 05:59, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
