Darker Projects

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No sources except self-published. No evidence that it meets the WP:GNG. Edited mainly by single purpose account claiming to be affiliated with the subject, it reads like a fan site/advert. causa sui (talk) 23:56, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator unless external sources establishing notability are found. causa sui (talk) 23:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't see why there is a need to delete this page. Darker Projects has been in existence for eight years; For further reference, you can visit wwww.darkerprojects.com

We have had repeated attempts by anonymous sources to discredit us here on the Wikipedia page, hence my earlier request for protection. I did not report these issues to Wikipedia to have the page summarily deleted without any kind of consideration toward our cause. I implore you - please do not delete the Darker Projects page.

 * Delete =- Lacks signficant coverage in reliable sources indpendent of the subject to establish notability. There is one mention in this article behind a paywall, but it appears to be a rundown of web sites which lists Darker Projects as one of them.  There is a brief mention in this book.  None of this is sufficient to notability, and I am unable to find any other sources. -- Whpq (talk) 13:22, 22 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - I'll try to find reliable sources about Darker Projects, most notably the audio drama review on blogspot. 115.133.196.143 (talk) 10:08, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Blogspot isn't a reliable source. -- Whpq (talk) 11:09, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I've had a look on Google, Google News, and Google Books and haven't turned up any reliable secondary sources that cover the subject in detail, as required by WP:N. Note that anything relevant should turn up on Google, as we're talking about a group that only started in 2003. I suspect that the article creator is new to Wikipedia, and is unaware of the strict inclusion criteria that we use here (in which case I refer him to WP:N). Also the statement in the first paragraph that the subject is "one of the longest running modern audio drama companies" is highly misleading. &mdash;gorgan_almighty (talk) 00:50, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - I do not see any references at all in Google Books or Google News. In Google Web, the references appear to be blogs, promotional, or otherwise non-independent.  --Noleander (talk) 00:35, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Try some fan sites, such as Trekunited.com and others. - 115.133.195.126 (talk) 10:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Fan sites would fall under unreliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 11:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Try Slice of Scifi. You just have to keep on trying. 115.135.124.58 (talk) 14:42, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. Cannot find reliable sources to verify information in article.--EdwardZhao (talk) 15:15, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Would the anonymous IP poster(s) above please note that if you are the same person, you should not post a bold Keep or Delete more than once. If you are the same person, please remove one of your bold Keeps. Obviously DO NOT remove your message after it. &mdash;gorgan_almighty (talk) 19:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Added some references. They are reliable. 124.13.168.214 (talk) 12:55, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reliable sources. Sources used call this a fan group. No assertion of notability which can be sourced. Unless better sources are presented, delete. BusterD (talk) 14:45, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
