Runescape Wikia[edit]

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

Non-notable wiki, for which I can find two only two passing mentions in reliable sources. The first is in a PC World story here, which was provided by the author to another editor with the remark, "Here's your frickun source. Good night and au revoir." The other is here, amounting to one sentence in the 728-page book Handbook of Research on Open Source Software. I'm sure this site is popular among the people who edit it, but WP:WEB requires that it have been "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works," have won a notable award, or be distributed through a medium with significant independent editorial oversight, none of which is true here.

Delete Each of the "sources" mention above contains only a brief mention in one sentence, and I too have searched and found no other mention at all (not even one sentence) in anything which could be regarded as a reliable independent source. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:55, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - No significant coverage found for this Wiki. --Teancum (talk) 18:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Switching to Snow Delete - this article clearly isn't going to survive, let's snowball this and move on. --Teancum (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only passing mentions in the sources, no secondary sources in the article. Notability is fairly absent. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Runescape wiki really does not qualify as notable. There are really no sources avialable. I confused this with the actual game which already has an article on Wikipedia. That is why I added the "hang on" template. My mistake. The game itself apparently qualifies as notable. If I hadn't posted that "hang on" template we probably wouldn't be having this discussion - sorry. Steve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) (talk) 23:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, it might well have passed speedy anyway as at least being mentioned in a reliable source, and for the claim that Runescape Wiki is the #4 search term on Google (a howler, I know; I removed it). Better to at least have had the discussion. Glenfarclas (talk) 23:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We're not notable, at all. And I have no idea why one of our editors created it before we were even close to the end of discussion. Wasn't gonna pass either way. Dave Lopo (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is a slam dunk case. --Doink9731 (talk) 05:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No sources. I am not sure why the user created this in the first place since the discussion that gave him the idea had universal consensus to not create the page... Evil yanks (talk) 07:08, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete one of many non-notable wikis. JBsupreme (talk) 08:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Snow delete There is consensus that the wiki does not have the sources available at this time for a WP article, which isn't to say that will always be the case. There's little else to be said. Someone another 12:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete Non-notable wiki, a handful of independent sources, this isn't Wookieepedia you know. 112.203.167.185 (talk) 11:47, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
