Speedy deletion of PokéBattlers

A tag has been placed on PokéBattlers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mooshykris (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

PokeBattlers

Please do not create articles on fangames. My experiences with Wikipedia show that they are not notable enough to meet Wikipedia's standards.

In return, I also find it offensive that you see anything Anti-Pokemon in this sense.

I myself am a large fan of the Pokemon series. I have played the games for 10 years, and have no intentions of turning back.

However, I am also a Wikipedia editor as well as a New Page Patroller.

I am sorry that you feel it derogatory, but regardless, it is still a fangame. It was created by fans, and in almost every case, does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements.

Just thought I'd add that "browser games", which is what PokeBattlers seems to be, are specifically included in the A7 criterion. Thanks. ~ mazca ^t|c 18:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of PokéBattlers

I have nominated PokéBattlers, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PokéBattlers. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ~ mazca ^t|c 18:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

As the speedy deletion was contentious, I thought we may as well bring this up for a wider discussion. All the best ~ mazca ^t|c 18:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Wow Kaboom, you really need to calm down man. This is nothing personal against you. --Mooshykris (talk) 18:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, calm down. No one here on Wikipedia has anything against you. I was, and still am just doing my job as a New Page Patroller, and have nothing against you. Perhaps you should read the rules on making your first article first. If not, I'm sorry to say that sometimes things like this happen.

Seriously, I have nothing against you :)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.
