* (I created the article; it's my first activity here, so please excuse me if I'm doing something wrong) I agree that Fairyland is not a well-known or big MMORPG, but that is true for many other games listed at "[[List of free massively multiplayer online games]]", too.

**You need to show that it meets the [[WP:GNG|General Notability Guidelines]], which is done by coverage by [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. I'm not entirely familiar with these websites you've given above, but [[WP:IRS|I don't believe they qualify as "reliable" in the Wikpedia sense of the word]]. Try showing that websites like [[GameSpot]], [[IGN]], or [[Eurogamer]] have done articles or reviews on it, for example. They're pretty undeniably reliable. A list of commonly accepted sources for video game articles can be related at [[WP:VG/RS]]. This is your best bet at keeping the article. I'll wait and give my 2 cents once I know more about the game...

Unremarkable online game. No indications of notability, no reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 03:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Lager (250 employees, created in 1999), the developer/publisher of Fairyland, is one of the leading game developers in Taiwan. Fairyland is more than 10 years old and still active, which can not be said for many other MMORPGs, especially not free-to-play ones. It is listed on many MMORPG sites: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. It has got enough votings at mmorpg.com to be listed in the top 200 of all MMORPGs. The official English (!) forum has more than 18000 posts (additional 61000 posts in the archived forum). Cherry Credits offers Fairyland Points. The Thai Wikipedia has an article about Fairyland, too. What else to prove "notability"? --Flenggg (talk) 15:07, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks, Sergecross73. GameSpot lists Fairyland (they also write: "Fairyland is a hugely popular online game in many Asian countries including Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore", FWIW in a press release). IGN lists Fairyland, too (here also). GameFAQs lists Fairyland, too. Coulnd't find an entry at Eurogamer, though. --Flenggg (talk) 11:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
