Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/United Confederation of Interstellar Planets

Funny all this... lets look at other articles included on wikipedia in a similar vane. First, Alt.starfleet.rpg, an RPG community that originated from Usenet according to the article. Second we have Christian_Gamers_Alliance which is a community for Christians interested in role playing games. Third we have Diversity_Fleet which is a subsidiary group of The Simming League and consists of (near as one can tell) a single SIM. Finally there is the Star_Trek_Simulation_Forum which also originated on AOL, much like UCIP did. Given that UCIP has well over 15 SIMs and somewhere in the neighbourhood of 150 members (and I am being conservative) from across the globe it seems a little asinine that these articles exist and are not under threat of deletion while the UCIP one is. Further to this, Wikipedia itself references UCIP in one of its articles, Simming. To have noted UCIP in an article is clear evidence UCIP is indeed a notable organization or else it would not have been included in the article.
 * Not necessarily at all. Just because those other articles exist doesn't mean that they're somehow "safe" from being deleted. It might mean that they're notable (or verifiably so), but it also might just mean that nobody's yet nominated them for deletion. Further, just because another article references UCIP doesn't mean anything. I could create a simming group right now, add them to the article on simming and write an article on them - it wouldn't serve as an insurance policy or anything of the sort.
