Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:List of World War I video games, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Don Durandal (talk) 23:30, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Editing other people's talk page comments
Hello. In answer to your comment on my talk page, "don't edit other people's comments" is one of wikipedia's guidelines (<- note that this link was already in my previous comment). If you disagree with it, bring it up at the village pump, not to me. Note that talk pages are not articles. There is little reason to clean them up, and doing so would be rude to other users.

Speedy deletion nomination of Arrowshot Games


A tag has been placed on Arrowshot Games 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Angelo Michael (talk) 22:34, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Notability concerns
I've deleted the page for Arrowshot Games, but I have to say that I'm particularly worried about the site's notability. The problem is that while you assert that the site is popular, popularity is not the same thing as notability. The site has to have received coverage in reliable sources (reviews, interview, and the like) in order to pass WP:GNG. I can't see where the games are really that notable either. Popularity might make it more likely that something will gain coverage, but it's no guarantee. Most indie games and companies have a huge issue with coverage, but they still have to have it. As an example of how hard it is to pass our guidelines and how difficult finding sources can be, I would like to point you towards Marble Hornets. That page was deleted years ago for a lack of notability, despite that it is probably the best known Slender Man inspired webseries out there and despite its huge fan following. I only recently had enough coverage to reinstate it and that was after collecting material for quite a long time. I'm still somewhat worried that it'll get nominated for deletion: it's just that hard to pass notability guidelines on here.

I would probably recommend against trying to re-introduce the page to Wikipedia. The site just isn't notable enough to pass notability guidelines. You can always keep an eye out for sources, but as it stands now I don't see a single source out there that would count towards notability right now. Unless they have a huge breakout hit that gains coverage along the lines of A Hat in Time, odds are that they'll probably remain a relatively obscure gaming company.
