Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ONW

Argument

 * ONW is a project that has never before been attempted. It's known to a community of about 300, as well as an estimated 50 others.  That says popular for me.  It's also a scientific study.  It can help others that are doing similar projects, which are assigned in some schools.  It can help other conworlders interested in the hobby.  Most conlangers and conworlders would be interested to see how it turns out. - J. Antley

Votes for Deletion

 * ONW - a fictional world known only to a small group of friends. Only google hit is for a blog entry . Maximus Rex 03:11, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, irrelevant to anyone not in that group of frineds.--Mishac 08:49, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * I've actually heard of this group. That's one non-member to whom it's "relevant". Wiwaxia 03:23, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: vanity. Wile E. Heresiarch 09:57, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, is known to a community of about 300 and they are planning on publishing their work. Has many Google hits when "ONW" is searched, but it takes some filtering to find them.  Could provide additional information for others interested in conworlding. J. Antley 12:37, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. What J. Antley said. Anthony DiPierro 20:13, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, same as J. Antley. Branddobbe 22:58, Feb 21, 2004 (UTC)
 * J. Antley (User:DarkFantasy) is the original author of the piece. Of course he wants to keep it. This only "exists" between a few people on a bulletin board. Maximus Rex 03:04, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * What does that have to do with anything? Just because I created it doesn't disregard my reasons for keeping it. J. Antley 19:15, 22 Feb 2004 CST
 * Delete, vanity. --Wik 03:20, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. What J. Antley said. BL 10:37, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity page. If and when J. Antley's web community's work is actually published, then maybe it'll be worth including. Until then, it's only one or two steps above being a private joke. Bearcat 17:01, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've got friends with D&D characters, worlds and so on.  This is a private matter that has no bearing on the larger world.  If this book actually is published at some point, then, perhaps, it could get a page (and maybe more depending on popularity).  Until then it's strictly vanity. Oberiko 19:56, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. What J. Antley said. pastoralist 19:20, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * This 'vote' was made by User:12.106.247.131, who, based upon their other edits, is probably User:DarkFantasy/J. Antley. Maximus Rex 01:22, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * That is untrue. pastoralist 1:24, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree. You have no evidence or reason to even suspect us to be the same person. J. Antley 19:31, Feb 22 2004 CST
 * Definitely a not-even-subtle sock puppet. The least you could have done would have been to have created a login, not a fake ID edited from an anonymous account.  RickK 01:55, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * What you say is not true. I solemnly swear I am not J. Antley. How does it benefit you to attack him? pastoralist 1:58, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * I really resent that! Do I have to show my IP for you people to believe me?! J. Antley 20:01, Feb 22 2004 (CST)
 * Keep. This group is attempting to write and conworld as a group entirely over the internet. As far as I know this has not been done before. This is a good experiment and worth seeing how it turns out. Yahiisa
 * Another sock pupper heard from. RickK 02:08, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Y'all are hopeless. Check the IPs!!! J. Antley 20:13, 23 Feb 2004 (CST)
 * I didn't even realize this whole argument was going on as I tried to post my edit (well until I had to resubmit it three times I didn't). I simply saw an entry I find interesting was up for deletion and voted to save it. I am wondring why you felt the need to accuse me (and pastoralist) of being puppets.Yahiisa
 * This is J. Antley not logged in. Check my IP and compare. User:J. Antley 20:19, 23 Feb 2004 (CST)
 * Delete. Not famous. Not encyclopedic. Once they are famous, someone can come back and write the right article.  Rossami 04:40, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, Oncethis fantasy world has been published and is better known by more than 300 people it's worthy of an article -- Graham  :) 11:20, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gotta draw the line somewhere. If it becomes more noteworthy and noted, then write the article. Andrewa 11:36, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
