The Center (community)
Utter lack of content, possible forumcruft even if it had any, lack of notability, no link to present location to verify, possible vanity page, site mentioned http://www.DBZCenter.com is a Dragon Ball Z site but no mention of that. I waited several hours for more content to be added, but to no avail. Nothing links here. Dsol 23:18, 8 November 2005 (UTC) Please vote below, putting your recommendation in bold
 * Speedy Delete Delete as per above Dsol 23:19, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * A RESPONSE: Hi, the name's Xylus. Give this page two days and it'll have about 15 times the amount of content.  One of our community members created this page so that the rest of us would start adding to it as soon as possible.  Be patient.
 * No problem. In cases like these it's best to create a subpage on your user page and edit from their, i.e. for me it would be "User:dsol/The Center (community)."  Then when it's reasonable progressed so as not to be delete-worthy, you can copy it over.  Because you said you'll work on it, I'm changing my vote from speedy delete to just delete.  This way the deletion process should take 5 days, and I'll change it to keep if the article merits it.  Dsol 01:23, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Xylus: Thank you very much. I've already started work on it.
 * Please familiarize yourself with our no original research policy and note that Wikipedia is not a free wiki host for hosting "about us" pages for web sites. A novel historical narrative of a web site that has not been already published somewhere outside of the encyclopaedia is unacceptable here.  If the only way to verify an article is to read hundreds of discussion forum posts and re-synthesize a history from them, because no-one has already synthesized such a history and published it (for the article to cite), then the article does not belong in the encyclopaedia.  Has any third party published a history of your web site?  Has a magazine written a feature article on it?  Is there any secondary source material on the subject at all?  The place to create secondary source material, from raw data, and publish it is outside the encyclopaedia. Uncle G 12:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable, forumcruft.

Hello, this is Gambit. I've added more history of The Center, including a selection of who use to be Staff. I've linked to Wiki pages for IRL, DBZ, Naruto, Anime, Invision, and UBB. This page may have started as a vanity page, but I am working to ensure that is not the case. I'll be working on the glossary later this afternoon, as well as many other aspects.


 * Delete More information now but still not notable. Swegner 00:30, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
