UK Resistance

  ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up.

The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

No assertion of meeting WP:WEB. Delete. Fightindaman 20:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's no reason to delete this page. —This unsigned comment was added by 134.124.97.113 (talk • contribs) .

This user has only 3 edits, all in the article in question, some vandalism: [1] -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 20:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The above two votes appear to be very similar (in that they are both unsigned votes with "Don't Delete" instead of the customary "Keep"). There is the possibility that these two votes are in fact the same user or editors who don't normally contribute to Wikipedia. joturner 02:40, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. UK Resistance is pretty well-known (and respected) in the gaming community. I can definitely see people looking it up in an effort to discover more about the site. --Hn 01:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-notable. --Khoikhoi 02:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, nn, meatpuppet supported. --Rory096 02:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above; non-notable website. joturner 02:40, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:Web, forumcruft, NN Dbchip 06:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, non-notable per WP:WEB, forumcruft; the puppetry didn't convince me otherwise, shockingly. --Kinu t/c 06:26, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, it's not puppetry, the site is well known and has been covered numerous times in the gaming media. There are a large number of *different* people posting here, however they are all from the site's forum which is an absolute trainwreck. If anything the site deserves credit and yes, there will be people researching it. But these people want it noticed for entirely the wrong reasons. Snobbery from both the forum regulars and signed in Wikipedia members has become extremely irritating in this debate - all your perspectives are skewed and I'm just trying to be an impartial observer here.
  • Keep If you have an Old Man Murray page on Wiki then you must have a UK:R page. OMM isn't even updated anymore and still came after UK:R which was the first "comedy" videogames site.
  • Keep notable for starting small campaigns every once in a while, like the blue sky one. The article does need some work, though.
  • Comment Look the forum members are hardly helping their cause, but I don't appreciate Wikipedians who have done no research on the subject whatsoever voting on it. The site has been cited by bloggers for The Guardian [4], Wired [5] as well as in numerous printed gaming publications, and has even spawned imitations.
