EAthena[edit]

Link to "list of eAthena servers" put eAthena 23rd on the list of Ragnarok servers, most of which make no mention of eAthena, which does not sound notable to me. I am not an expert (and I would delete all games articles on sight anyway) but this does not, from a couple of searches, appear to be half as notable as it purports to be. I could be wrong, that's why we have votes. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] :: AfD? 22:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, perhaps with edits to make some things clearer. You make a good point about the server list-I added the list, I've removed it. Sorry about a poorly-thought-out edit. As far as the "not notable" issue goes, even if eAthena isn't notable, doesn't it make sense to have it anyway, if for no other reason then to make Wikipedia as comprehensive as possible? That being said, a google search for eAthena comes up with over 45,000 sites, which seems pretty notable to me... - Zkion 03:24, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Above unsigned comment apparently by article's author; deleted link is A list of eAthena servers. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] :: AfD? 10:53, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, I didn't write the article... I just added the server list. And I've signed both comments now, sorry. I, personally, wouldn't consider this as so much of a games article as a computing article-eAthena isn't the game itself, only the emulator on which many servers for the game are run.- Zkion 03:24, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why delete? What wrong is it doing? This is a professional emulator for a MMORPG, this is not advertising, the developers spend months of their time to create this/ update this on a continual basis, and they want to share it with the world. And 'InShaneee' wants to deleate it as advertising... And yes it is in wide use, about 80% of all servers listed in that site will use the eAthena emulator. It is a highly advanced piece of C coding and I, and I speak on behalf of all our 100,000+ registerd members that you should not remove this. Micksta, eA member.
