Port 3979

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article about a particular port makes no sense, it seems like an excuse to spam the link, presented as reference, because that is the default port used by OpenTTD. The article does not talk about what a communication port is. It does not make a claim to why that particular port is notable (which in my opinion is not). If it is not deleted, then it should be redirected to Port (computer networking).Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 08:19, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete no explanation why a small nook or cranny needs a separate article. -M.Altenmann >t 19:01, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete&mdash;I'd consider it if this was an officially-assigned port, but it looks like an arbitrary choice for this particular game. Nothing else to say about it.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 07:02, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Even popular and much more notable ports like Port 8080 and Port 20 don't have their own page. Port 80 is the only one I found, which exists on a disambiguation page as a link to TCP Port. The point is that there is no indication that Port 3979 is notable and there is no precedent to indicate any particular port is notable enough for its own page. I wouldn't even suggest a redirect, since we already have a list of TCP Ports, and it runs in the tens of thousands. Creating a redirect for every one of those would be a drain of resources and pointless. Yet if we do for this, why not the others? DiscantX (talk) 02:36, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree with, a redirect does not make too much sense.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:26, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * As well, "OpenTTD game" is already listed in the aforementioned list under both Ports 3978 and 3979. That should be sufficient to represent it. DiscantX (talk) 08:36, 26 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete – per DiscantX. Mentioning it in the list is enough. – Margin1522 (talk) 18:47, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
