Dystopia (computer game)

As was agreed in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Half-Life_2_DeathMatch_Pro debate, individual mods for video games are not inherently notable and do not deserve Wikipedia articles, no matter how colorful and well written. Dystopia is another HL2 Mod article and on this same principle, I move it for deletion as non-notable matter. GestaltG 18:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I just read that DeathMatch Pro AfD, and still have yet to figure out how you came to the conclusion that the notion that individual mods for computer games aren't notable was agreed upon. Four people agreed upon deleting a certain mod's article, and that was pretty much it. That being said, Dystopia is as notable as any other popular Half-Life 2 mod out there. Do you plan on AfDing every single article on a video game mod? If so, you certainly have your work cut out for you. Nufy8 18:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The DeathMatch Pro mod was not notable. If you say Dystopia is as notable as any other HL2 mod, then it is not notable. If A=B and B=C then A=C GestaltG 18:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - By that logic, it is notable; Garry's Mod, Natural Selection, Action Half-Life, and much more are notable, and they're all Half-Life or Half-Life 2 mods. Nufy8 19:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Your argument is not making any sense. DeathMatch Pro was deleted as a non-notable game mod article to HL2 video game. Dystopia is another game mod article to HL2 video game. You have already said that Dystopia is "as notable as any other popular Half Life 2 mod." Therefore, if DeathMatch Pro was non-notable as a popular HL2 mod, Dystopia is also non-notable as a popular HL2 mod. GestaltG 19:11, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Let me rephrase. If, by your logic, Dystopia is non-notable because another "popular" Half-Life 2 mod was deleted, then that still leaves many more Half-Life 2 mods out that are considered notable, hence it is as notable as them. Nufy8 19:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        You cannot make the statement that the other HL2 mods are considered notable as the notablity of those articles has not been tested. I can however say, that DeathMatch Pro, a HL2 mod was non-notable, because it's notability was tested and the result was that it was deleted as non-notable.

- And in answer to your other question, yes, whenever I find them. Now, I am not specifically looking for video game mod articles, hence, I am not on an editorial "crusade" here if you will. I don't know the names of most of the video games out there, I don't really play many video games (I do own some), but in this particular case, since these articles were mentioned in the DeathMatch Pro Afd debate, I am following up the results of that debate to insure that the editing across Wikipedia is consistant (a constant problem for Wikipedia, consistancy of editing, I am just trying to help), at least in regards to the HL2 articles in the recent Afd debate.

  - DeathMatch Pro was AfDed and was a mod of Half-Life 2. Consistency wouldn't be to delete every Half-Life 2 mod, because the reason it was deleted wasn't because it was a Half-Life 2 mod. Nufy8 19:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
