[edit] Promode channel

A list of users who inhabit a certain QuakeNet channel. I do not believe this has the potential to be a useful encyclopedia article. It is wholly unverified, and consists largely of quick and POV character descriptions. Recommend delete. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 21:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Difficult to understand, but even if it could be made into an encyclopedia-like article, it wouldn't be notable enough to merit one. delldot | talk 21:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• This channel has a lot of potential. There is a lot of people adding nonsense at this point but it's a project in the making. Even though this is a niche article there are many similar pages to be considered to be uncomprehendable for people who have nothing to do with this specific subject.Dehanseon 22:02, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• NOTICE: This wiki will be a part of the forthcoming "about PROMODE community" wich will be created shortly, so no need to delete since this will be a part of it, and of importance for those who enter the promode community —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Budzone (talk • contribs) 16:53, 11 December 2005.

• Delete, 200 edits and no encyclopedic content, please read WP:NOT and note that wikipedia isn't a free webhost or an indiscriminate collection of information. If there's something that makes the channel notable in a wider context than beyond it's own community, please list it on the article. - Bobet 22:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete for the reasons given in bold above. Wikipedia is not a webhost.--Ezeu 22:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, we don't keep articles based on potential and Wikipedia is not for advertising web sites. Gazpacho 23:01, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia in not a free web hosting service. --TantalumTelluride 23:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• The article is a list of the members of a particular IRC channel, with comments, being constructed collaboratively by some Wikipedia editors. It is unverifiable, because no such list has been published outside of Wikipedia. Given that the article is being constructed from direct observation, it is also primary source material, which is forbidden here. Then there's the fact that the article's authors have explained in this very discussion that this is an attempt to host an "about us" page for the channel here at Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a free wiki host for arbitrary collaborative research or documentation projects. It is an encyclopaedia, a tertiary source. The place for this is on the authors' own web site(s), not Wikipedia. Delete. Uncle G 23:39, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
