Wizard Of Odd's Forum
Delete. As Robmods prod'ed: "Non notable internet forum." No claim to notability. Fails WP:WEB. Alexa rank of over 4 million. discospinster 16:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC) Do not deleteReason: It is important that this page is preserved, wiggle's forum is a ground breaking development in youth and homoerotica Craigp &mdash;This comment was really added by anonymous User:172.200.236.214

 * Do not delete Isn't the point of an encyclopedia to chronicle everything? If you delete this page, you're deleting the spirit of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.170.47 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. Well below the notability threshhold.  Could probably have been speedied, since nothing in the article strikes me as an assertion of notability.  --RobthTalk 17:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Do not delete Significant part of UK internet underground, behind veneer of irresponsibilty is a critical part of the infrastructure of various memes and counter-cuulture vis-a-vis (particually) PCGF. Dunkyb 18:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Robth's reasoning. Vizjim 18:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, no suitable reason has been given why this satifies WP:WEB (This is going to be another one of those with no Keep votes again isin't it.) Ydam 19:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment from their forum The challenge is not to get the thing deleted. Just make stuff up if you have to. Say about charitable donations or something. That's not going to work guys everything here has to be verifiable per WP:V Ydam 19:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't meet WP:WEB and is, for the most part, unverifiable. Capitalistroadster 19:53, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Ydam: You do realise that was a totally sarcastic comment don't, hence the presence of the ¬_¬


 * Do not delete Reason: WoO's forum is listed in the download information for a file downloaded by over 30,000 people int total from the torrent sites of Empornium and PureTNA. None of which are asociated with the forum. Denying these people the history and information of that file would go against the spirit of Wikipedia. Also, WoO's forum recives nearly weekley coverage in PC Gamer UK. Coverage on either the forum itself, or it users. And also, does it do any harm if this webpage exists or not?TwistyMcNoggins 23:014, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

"Non notable internet forum." sorry, but what? Wizards forum is imfamous! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.52.232 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete yet another minor forum that has no impact outside its core group of users. Joyous! | Talk 23:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per the terrible alexa rank, and all the newbie Do Not Delete votes (a sure sign of nn). -- e ivindt@c 23:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Do not delete http://www.empornium.us/details.php?id=68033 20k unique hits, over 50k downloads over about 5 different sites. Thats quite a big impact outside of the core members. Weekly mentions in a national independant games magazine. Again, a much wider impact than just the members. What more do you need? :/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.64.160 (talk • contribs)
 * "yet another minor forum that has no impact outside its core group of users" But what if those core users and the daily influx of new ones want to check out the history of this site? Once again, I pose the question "What harm does this page exisisting cause?"TwistyMcNoggins This edit was actually made by User:Wizard's Forum
 * Delete. If the core users and new users of the Wizard of Odd's Forum want to look up the history of the forum, that information should be posted on the Wizard of Odd's Forum. Few web forums are notable enough to warrant encyclopedia articles. --Metropolitan90 02:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete and Protect Site is A7 non-notable (Fails WP:WEB) and is attracting meatpuppetry. ~Kylu ( u | t )  03:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
