Ankhet

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No indication of notability (WP:N), no independent references (WP:V). Tagged with notability concern last year, which was removed with the comment "We're working on notability." There have been no improvements since then. Marasmusine (talk) 09:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong delete - Per nom. Notability is not asserted.  a s e nine  say what?  09:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete if it was tagged last year and still unchanged, it's unlikely to ever be improved. But there is indeed a lack of indication of notability and verified information. Most of it seems quite GAMEGUIDE-y to me. -- .: Alex  :.  09:12, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No assertion of notability. Prod and notability template failed to generate any, so it seems like the article is never going to be improved. Olaf Davis | Talk 10:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. I couldn't find anything on Google that suggests that the game is notable enough to justify an article. —  Wen li  (reply here) 01:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It's hard to argue against a deletion when you're not notified of it (How does the watchlist function work? It didn't notify me. : On the article, there were sources linked, but they were deleted as 'spam'. It's a game where information sharing is discouraged (so as to increase your own advantage), so we don't have anything like kolwiki and probably won't. Being really competitive means that information won't be made public (especially since it's against the game's Tos.) There are 10 public directory yahoo groups for Ankhet. I'd guess that there is at least as many private ones. (With regards to the wiki again, some have tried (and failed). http://ankhet.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1594/43/ Does being mentioned on a news site for a different game count as notable? (Sorry if I used bad formatting, I'm not very good at it.) Gwendolyr (talk) 10:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, neither of those can be used (see WP:EL and WP:Reliable sources.) Wikis, blogs and directory entries that mention the game do not show that it is notable. What we are looking for are substantial articles, interviews or reviews from independent sources that are known for their reliability. Marasmusine (talk) 11:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I figured as much. :( In that case, could I copy the article over to my userpage (or similar) and keep it there (and revise) until such a time where we have reliable sources? Gwendolyr (talk) 12:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Absolutely; copy the content to somewhere like User:Gwendolyr/Ankhet. Remember to comment out the categories by starting them with Marasmusine (talk) 15:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
