whats the real reason to delete this? It's not kevin and mike promoting, my name is chase, I'm a member of Dibbz, and I wrote this, no I'm not promoting. I'm writing an entry for a free encyclopedia. It's not self-promotion, I'm just writing about it to inform the gamers of New Orleans (where I do live) that there is more than one LAN center in the city. It's also not a year old yet. And for the specs section, I just copied it from their site, which is why it says "what games do we have?" and   if you noticed earlier on i did say "Here's how they list their specs:" You people are messed up, with your copyvio and self-promos, im just writing to inform people, and besides anything that i get from their site, i have permission for it--i know Kevin and Mike personally - Chase 01:03, Apr 11, 2005

it does not say that Wikipedia is not a gamers' guide. this isnt advertising, I've read the deletion policy, what Wikipedia is not, the rules, regulations, guides among other things. It has not violated any of them. Chase 16:18, Apr 11, 2005
 * Wikipedia is not just for gamers in New Orleans. To deserve an article in Wikipedia, the Dibbz thingy has to be universally notable, not just in small fan circles.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 08:54, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all of them, preferably speedily. --Calton | Talk 12:22, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as copyvio: user Chase states above that it was copied from their site. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  15:58, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete (if not speedied). Wikipedia is not a gamers' guide.  Barno 21:04, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete sorry to vote delete but this looks like advertising to me. I have a site I'd love to advertise to sell my jewellery, but I'm not going to put it on Wikipedia.--Chammy Koala 23:52, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Then you will have read that you can't post material from other sites or written by other people unless it is specifically released to the GFDL license. If you posted this with their approval, then clearly you have their release under that license.  Please produce it.  If you don't have such a release, then you misspoke when you said that by "knowing" the owners, that's somehow enough permission to post their copyrighted material here.
