Original Media For Gamers
A page about an (non-notable) upcoming website, written with a P.R. tone. Almost the whole article is written in the future tense.
 * Delete or prove notability and highly improve the article (removing P.R. tone). Per nomination. --Abu Badali 14:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This won't be a notable website even when it is created, but right now this article is about something that doesn't exist. RGTraynor 16:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's your opinion, not a fact, last I checked, Wikipedia does not exist to support personal opinion.  Seraphna 06:34, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Nor to be adspam to boost some fannish startup site; there are many gaming-oriented websites where advertising is acceptable, but this is not one. Now if you can prove that this site fulfills any of the criteria of WP:WEB, feel free.  RGTraynor 06:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it. It is about something which is still in development like hundreds of other articles on wikipedia. Just because it does not exist yet does not make a good reason to delete it. And if the tense or way it is written is a problem then change it, that is what wikipedia is about. If you think something should be changed, don’t just wait around and wait for somebody else to do it. --Paddyffrench 00:22, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: errr?  Because something doesn't exist is a prima facie ground for deleting it.  Wikipedia still isn't a crystal ball.  RGTraynor 01:16, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom (non-notable website that doesn't even exist yet!). Also see: Articles for deletion/World of Warcraft Radio.  Wickethewok 06:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it. OMFG actually does exist currently and is being hosted with it's sister site, WCRadio.com, it has it's own forums section, submitted materials, and community. OMFG exists, it is in development, the nonexistance rule is for things that completely do not exist, like an article on purple pokla-dotted apples. Please do not abuse the deletion rules in order to get something removed. Seraphna 06:27 PM, 15 July (UTC)
 * This website doesn't meet WP:WEB even if it does exist. Also, note that this is AFD is the user's first contribution to WP.  Wickethewok 23:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wrong. http://www.blizzplanet.com/?action=news&id=821 <-- They have outside press releases. End of story. Seraphna 07:37 PM, 15 July (UTC)
 * comment blizzplanet? They don't seem that notable as well. --Abu Badali 00:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow yeah, care to back up how they aren't? because they are a site supported and linked to by worldofwarcraft.com, the makers of the game in which they report about. Once again, you're pushing opinion over fact, they might not seem notable to you, but they are. Seraphna 08:45 PM, 15 July (UTC)
 * comment That's true. All the contributions from User:Seraphna to wikipedia are in this AFD. Remember this is not about counting votes. --Abu Badali 00:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * comment Yes, clearly my choosing of this area as my first contribution to Wikipedia should somehow impede my arguement, I was unaware that there was a requirement of trolling the site in order to have a say. Seraphna 08:40 PM, 15 July (UTC)
 * Response - Well, it is considered general policy for editors to contribute some constructive content before commenting in AFDs. Keep in mind we have no way of knowing, for example, if you are an alias of another user.  I'm sure you understand - besides it isn't a vote, if you make a good argument it will be heard.  Also, that pretty much looks like a press release and blizzplanet.com doesn't look like any sort of notable media anyway.  Wickethewok 02:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Exists, doesn't exist, either way, if there's debate on whether it even exists yet or not, I don't think any website is going to achieve notability for Wikipedia here any time soon if its that new. Homestarmy 06:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
