1100 AD Sources

I've had a look at the sources, and I think they're probably reliable, but I also think there are editors who would disagree with me about that. As I said in the AfD, I'm not sure whether game reviews count as reliable sources. I think they probably should, depending on who is doing the reviewing, but others might disagree. It would certainly help if you can show that the reviewers are respected within the wider gaming culture. YardsGreen (talk) 06:44, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

No problem, I'm glad to help. An admin will need to close the AfD, and they do that on their own schedules. Ongoing discussions are always encouraged, so how long it takes depends on how quickly discussion dies down. Quite a few other AfDs started on the same day or after have already closed, others are still going strong. Some go on for weeks. It all depends on how much discussion there is.

1100AD layout

I respect your opinion, but the Manual of Style is the rulebook for laying out articles. It's what we have to follow, regardless of opinion. --Teancum (talk) 21:36, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

I've never heard of those articles before. However anyone is free to nominate an article for deletion, so if you feel these should be under the same scrutiny, please do so. Stating that other stuff exists is not a basis for keeping the article, but rather is reason to nominate others a person feels doesn't meet Wikipedia's standard criteria. Please don't shoot the messenger here. I don't make the rules, I just follow them. If you don't like how something is going, I'd suggest taking it up with an administrator. --Teancum (talk) 00:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
