Clan of the Dead Goat
nn community vanity, and they even mention that they're not well known in the article. Delete with an AWP headshot. RasputinAXP  talk  *  contribs  04:44, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 12:10, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - 11,900 google hits, is good enough. It seems to be a notable group and website  Its parent site, www.csnation.net seems to be what may be notable, and the fact that these customization communities exist would be more encyclopedic/should be mentioned somewhere, so perhaps merge with another article... --Mysidia (talk) 18:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Only 85 of those hits are actually unique. Happens a lot with forums. --Icelight 12:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Wrote the article, so I won't vote, but its like Mysdia said, it is a large community. Also, the forums are not well know in the ENTIRE CS community (which could easily consist of 1 billion+ people) but are very well known in the CS customization community. Hope you guys will take this into consideration. --Banana! 01:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You're allowed to vote; it's when floods of people with an interest in the article but no interest in Wikipedia as a whole that votes start getting disregarded. I admit, I'm not a CS buff of any kind, but I've never heard of CotDG despite being fairly well-informed about computer/video gaming in general. Has it had any mentions in press, either gaming press or mainstream? How has it influenced the modding community as a whole? The answers to these sorts of questions help establish notability, and it seems like this is a borderline case. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 09:00, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. There are lots of Counter-Strike communities out there and most of them are not notable. Nevertheless, appears to have an OK Alexa rating (13,327). Andrew pmk | Talk 02:26, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment This is actually the Alexa rank for the entire CSNation site, a much larger group which only hosts the CDG forums. (csnation.net has exactly the same Alexa ranking. It's like trying to figure out the traffic for a blogspot blog.) --Icelight 12:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment -- On the other hand, due to their use of multiple domains including gunshop.clandeadgoat.net and www.clandeadgoat.net, it seems to be impossible to figure out what their overall Alexa ranking would be. --Mysidia (talk) 17:01, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable CS forum and skin designers. The article itself confirms this, and the 85 unique hits for "Clan of the Dead Goat" confirms that it doesn't have a wide presence. The Alexa rank is because it is hosted on CSNation, a much larger site. --Icelight 12:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I think Icelight has it about right on this. I'll change my vote if convinced otherwise. Marcus22 19:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
