Speedy deletion nomination of Global Warfare


A tag has been placed on Global Warfare, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wuh Wuz  Dat  04:52, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pete - are you able to cite any reliable, independent sources for Global Warfare? Any magazine reviews, interviews or suchlike? Marasmusine (talk) 06:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pete, thanks for the reply. Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia is a tertiary source - we collate information published in secondary sources. If a topic has not received any coverage in secondary sources, then we shouldn't have an article on it. The archived official page and your personal observations are primary sources, so we can't base an article on that. If your goal is to make information about the mod available, then you'd be better off writing about it at a place like Wikia Gaming. I hope this clarifies, Marasmusine (talk) 10:52, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I still can't find any sources, so I've proposed the article for deletion. This still gives you five days to source the article if that's at all possible. Marasmusine (talk) 08:36, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Pete, I'll take a closer look at the sources as soon as I have time to give it my attention. Marasmusine (talk) 10:58, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
