Unreal Tournament 3 Online Multiplayer Activities and Community

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article consists solely of advertisements for other websites, links to offsite resources, and information that is true of all multiplayer games. Also, this article consists solely of original research, and consists entirely of content that was previously judged to be irrelavent (for the purposes of wikipedia) in the main article).

 * Keep So far the only person who has judged the article's valuable content as being irrelevant to the parent subject matter of the main article is Gundato. The disputed article, if it has the opportunity for further development, will provide valuable knowledge about the entity known as the Unreal Tournament 3 Online Multiplayer Community.  Like a geographical community, such as a city, an online community contains landmarks and features worthy of description.  Although newspapers and scholarly works do not (yet) generally report on online multiplayer gaming communities, that does not make the easily verifiable article's content false.  In fact, a great many  if not most Wikipedia articles contain sentences and claims that do not make specific references to "vetted" newspaper articles composed of journalists' original research.  This is true of much of the parent game's article's undisputed content.


 * Gundato, could you please provide some evidence to indicate that the information in the article is false or misleading? If you feel that it's inaccurate, why not correct the inaccuracies instead of eradicating a worthwhile informational resource? I'll acknowledge that the current entry is not necessarily complete nor a finished work, but every article has to start somewhere and people who are knowledgeable about the subject can improve upon its content.

 * Delete Fails WP:OR, WP:RS and Wikipedia is not a game guide.  Whispe ring  14:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable. Also, the bulk of the information is already contained within Unreal Tournament 3 where it belongs, WP:OR and WP:RS. -Verdatum 16:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. In its present form it is not notable independent of Unreal Tournament 3. I will say that I see how its frustrating having an article nominated for deletion only 24 hours after it was created. If the author thinks that the article can be made to conform to the policies (cite WP:reliable sources for your claims) he could write it using his sandbox and move it into main space when it is sourced well enough to avoid a request for deletion.

 * Merge with Unreal Tournament 3. No separate article, please. --Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 16:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete All of the important information on this subject is already in the article on Unreal Tournament 3, and this article really isn't necessary. Chri$topher


 * Delete The information provided in this article is extremely generic, and could be said about many other games. Also, as previously stated, this article clearly fails WP:NOT. Cpl Syx 04:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge with Unreal Tournament 3. The material has no supporting reliable sources, so merge is really not the preference. -- Whpq 17:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
