Speedy deletion nomination of Casual Collective
A tag has been placed on Casual Collective 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Casual Collective
Well, you beat me. I had my own version in my userspace, but you created the article before I decided to go live with mine. :) ctzmsc3&#124;talk 04:13, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You were using my version as a guide, weren't you? You didn't tell me. ctzmsc3&#124;talk 04:20, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

RE: Speedy deletion of Minions (game)
It seems unnecessarily harsh:


 * On the first deletion, you stated that it violated A7, as it was not substantive, important or notable enough to be included on this encyclopedia. However, as was clearly stated in the article, Minions has been featured in several news articles, is featured on major gaming websites such as Casual Collective and Kongregate, and has been played by tens of thousands of players. If that's not notable, I seriously don't know what is.


 * On the second deletion, you stated that it violated A3, as it was had no meaningful content. It clearly stated where the game is from, who created it, it's importance, and although it was a stub it definitely had meaningful content.


 * Then you sent me this notice that it was inappropriate. How is a flash game inappropriate? There was absolutely no explicit content in the article, or in the game...

RE^2: Speedy deletion of Minions (game)

 * Hi. By "inappropriate," I meant that you'd recreated the article after a partial version had been deleted. Actually, the wording was in a prefab template; sorry if that came off harsh.  The second version failed to establish the notability of the game, outlined here.  I'll create a user subpage for you with the original text in place.  This will give you the opportunity to work on the article online but off the article space:

Good luck on the article and thanks for asking. It's never fun to have an article deleted and keep in mind that nothing is ever lost and any good-faith contribution is welcomed. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
