Sweet Half-Life
Doesn't seem to be anymore notable than any other mod. No outside sources or anything used in the article. Google search yields a few hundred results, all of which seem to be either download sites, web forums, or unrelated. Doesn't seem to have any third party sources, which fails verifiability and WP:RS. PROD was removed with "This is verifiable, if you take time to look at the linked home page and actually play the mod", however, neither of those suggestions constitute encyclopedic research. Delete as such. Wickethewok 13:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Game mods are usually not notable. No sources in the article, no sign of any media attention. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a game guide. MER-C 13:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment - If this article lacks your precious, "encyclopedic research," then I guess most, if not all, other Half-Life mod articles on Wikipedia better be deleted also. Wikipedia is becoming too tense in allowing what to keep and what to delete. Delete this, if you must, but you're just halting the forward progress of information and what the people see as important. You treat Google "hits" and outside "sources" like they're the bible of all things right with the world. This mod does get attention in it's rightful area, which is the Half-Life community. It does get recognition in said community. All because you don't "see" (read: Google search IYO) it, doesn't mean it isn't there. And as for this site not being a game guide, this page was anything but a guide. It only told about the bare basics about the mod and was to try and get the people informed about it.

 * Comment - Whereas this is hands down, one of the greatest Half-Life single player mods ever; it's even better than the vastly overrated They Hunger (although not as good as Poke 646). I don't have the sources for an encyclopedic article.  I really doubt that forum posts, tenfourmaps or the now dead hangar 16 would past mustard through WP:RS.  You're best copying this over to the VDC, where its not going to be deleted.  Looking through my archive of PC Zone, I can't even find a review for this, even though I managed to find a full page review for the crappy Azure Sheep, which incidentally I voted to delete. - Hahnch  e  n 03:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - What is this VDC? I'll be sure to copy this article there. And thank you for your support. Blacklist 05:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the VDC. - Hahnch e  n 15:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - Ah, yes. The VALVe Dev Wiki. I'll be sure to copy this article to that. Thank you. Blacklist 21:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "...most, if not all, other Half-Life mod articles on Wikipedia better be deleted also." I agree completely. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - definitely one of the more notable mods for Half-Life, and the relative lack of Google results (775 for 'Sweet Half-Life') is partially due to its age. It was also released, unlike with various as-yet-unreleased, Wikipedia-articled mods for Half-Life 2, and if Sweet Half-Life gets deleted, you'd better start deleting most other mod articles too... --91.86.6.34 12:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, no claim to notability, complete lack of WP:RS, and I quite agree with the idea of deleting most other mod articles, if they are equally badly sourced. Sandstein 21:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
