Planetarion
Non notable webgame. Fails WP:WEB, WP:SOFTWARE and WP:V. I prodded it on august 1 and the prod was removed on august 18. Peephole 18:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It won a minor monthly award, but other than that, it hasn't become notable. No non-trivial independent third party coverage that I could fine. Also fails the nom criteria. --Wafulz 22:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It won that award several times, first time in May 2000, and then again in December 2000, in January, March, April, June, September, October and December of 2001, and in February 2002. Shanes 02:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, as it should have been one week after placing the prod. This doesn't really have any reason for inclusion. RandyWang ( chat/patch ) 12:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It was prod deleted, but I speedy undeleted it per exception 2 on WP:UNDEL as I think it was notable enough to warrant an article. I played this game some 5-6 years ago and it really was very popular back then when web based games like this was in its infancy. And it won quite a few awards too, if my memory isn't failing me.

 * Keep. This is an excellent and comprehensive webgame. I tend to give it as one of the top 3 examples of what a webgame is.Theseus321 01:48, 22 August 2006 (EST)

 * That was my first addition to wikipedia. I didn't quite know how to use it yet. Sorry. :) -Mike Payne 04:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Per above. Havok (T/C/c) 09:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V, WP:RS and WP:WEB. Whispering(talk/c) 17:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per Whispering ST47 12:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Planetarion is in decline now which ruins its Google test, but it was a big player in the browser-game market several years ago, with lots of derivatives. Tens of thousands of users in its heyday doesn't reflect accurately in its current declined state. Mostly historical. -- nae'blis 12:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm convinced, weak keep per nae'blis and maybe the fact that it's historical / past it's heyday should be noted on the page itself more directly-Amists 15:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments. Arkyan 18:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above Cpc464 11:33, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. I used to play years ago; it was one of the first web based multiplayer browser based games, and at its peak had 10s of thousands of active users. Certainly worthy of keeping for historical reference. BenRobb 15:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. I played through rounds 4-6 and there was no shortage of players at that time! Perhaps the article could be expanded a little then on its reasons of its decline. I believe it had something to do with Jolt taking over etc... Although deffinitely keep the article even if only for historical purposes.
 * Weak delete: I don't believe it passes WP:WEB or WP:RS, but I do remember when it was big - its historical value could make it worth keeping, if it could be expanded/find more sources, but I doubt that can be done.   --Mnem e son 12:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know what counts as acceptable review, but I found some old ones still on the net . There are probably many more, I remember reading about it in print, but it's so long ago that I can't remember where much less find those on the net. Shanes 12:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Shanes. Mackensen (talk) 19:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, I used to play this game a couple of years ago so in my world it is notable. bbx 06:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
