User talk:Anthrcer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tag has been placed on Bluff my bluff, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pan Dan 15:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copied from Talk:Bluff my bluff
It should not be deleted because it is a proper game. It relies on imagination; therefore, it is as valid as Dungeons and Dragons and similar games. Even though it is not played worldwide, this is because a lot of people do not yet know about it. However, this was the case with most games; they have to start somewhere.
Thank you for reading my argument.

- Please don't use Wikipedia as a promotional vehicle ("you need to start somewhere" seems to imply you want more people to know about it). Things must have attributable on Wikipedia to reliable sources (and a forum isn't it). ColourBurst 15:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
When I said "you need to start somewhere", I didn't mean that I was using Wikipedia to direct people to Bluff My Bluff; what I meant was that, even though Bluff my Bluff has only just started, it is still valid as a subject on a reference site. --Anthrcer 15:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Anthrcer
- Again, you have no reliable sources. That means the article is original research, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. ColourBurst 15:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Did you not follow the link? It contains all the information you'd need to know. --Anthrcer 15:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)anthrcer
- The reason I tagged the article for speedy deletion is that there is no sign that this game has attracted the attention of reliable sources that we could use to write an encyclopedia article. Please see our criteria for inclusion. And you sort of confirm the game's non-notability when you say "a lot of people do not yet know about it." When a lot of people know about it, and people publish things about it, then we can have a Wikipedia article about it. Pan Dan 15:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

- Anthrcer, I see you have created an article for each of the 3 creators of this game. Again, there is no sign that any of these people are notable, i.e. they have not attracted the attention of reliable published sources which is what we need to write a Wikipedia article. Please do not create such pages in the future. Thanks, Pan Dan 15:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
