  • Delete - fails to assert notability. MER-C 09:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:WEB, just 16 unique Google hits, which is extremely low for a web/forum/sci-fi/wargame topic. Perhaps this AFd should be expanded to include Scarab (Empires of Ambition) as well. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – You know, it’s generally considered civil to inform the creator of a page that you nominate its deletion. Anyway, yes, 16 hits are not much. Rather surprising, seeing how EOA is pretty big. But I doubt you can judge the importance of an organisation on its unique hits. Seems the number has changed to 19 now, anyway.

    • Comment sorry for not informing you. Can you quantify "EOA is pretty big" for us - perhaps it meets the notability criteria in some way we're missing, but otherwise its obscurity in terms of google hits is all we have to go on. Percy Snoodle 08:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment – Hm. I wouldn’t know how I can accurately ascertain just how important an organisation is. If you ask me, such a thing is completely subjective. But Empires of Ambition has made a lot of projects, including a movie, a Dawn of War mod, a tabletop game... Which already makes it much more than just a website. I admit that EOA does not meet the notability criteria as far as I know, but you have to remember that that is just a guideline, not actual rule. On top of that, it is rather disputed, if you look at the talk page. Think about it: “Any content which is distributed solely on the internet is considered, for the purposes of this guideline, as web content”. Makes sense. Then, it says that websites needs published works to be notable? Why does an organisation that by definition works purely online, need to have published works that are not on the web? It doesn’t make any sense. Grobtak 14:44, 27 September 2006
