SAMP articles have been created and deleted multiple times in the past under the following names: SAMP SA-MP Sa-mp and San Andreas Multiplayer. Once for lack of content/notability, and the other 3 times due to advertising. This new article is also lacking any real content or sources. Over the past 3 months the original author has had time to expand the article and include some basic references or content but failed to do so. Blokker 1999 (talk) 18:05, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that Blokker owns the MTA website, which is considered a 'rival' to SAMP. Conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.147.50.11 (talk) 17:19, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Heavy conflict of interest on blokker's part indeed, i also suspect blokker sock puppetting to get the page deleted before. Sa-mp is a rival project of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_Theft_Auto and is way more popular - except for references from magazines that mta project has, sa-mp project has done much more and is way more popular than the mta project. sa-mp page should be allowed to stay permanently on wikipedia. Previous page deletions performed were all done with conflict of interests - prople involved in arguments or nominated sa-mp page for deletion were contributors to rival MTA project wikipedia page. This is wikipedia hate machine.

did any of you actually see the article that was put up? It contained verry limited information about the subject, most of the text was actually just the system specs. The article, as mentioned in the discussion, was available for several months, enough time for anyone to edit and improve the article, to add notability to it, to cite or reference any source. But that did not happen. We only knew about the article because the creator of the article added a link on the MTA page to this article without even adding one the other way around. And writing that I have been 'sock puppeting' is exactly the kind of bs that shows what your interests are. Yes, i took a vote in the deletion of the original SA-MP article years ago, but I didn't even know until this deletion about the existence of all the other articles that have been created and apperantly deleted for writing the same bs over and over again. If you feel that SA-MP has the right for an article on wikipedia, create one, but create one with decently sourced and enough content instead of writing that SA-MP exists, has some scripting to help it extend and fill up the rest with system specs. And even if I have a COI, I did not make anyone vote in this matter. Blokker 1999 (talk) 19:51, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
