Deletion of Seven day roguelike (2nd nomination)

Comment: The Roguelike genre of computer games definitely meets  and these contests have been some of the most significant activity in the genre in the last few years.  I could see this information merged into History of roguelikes is such an article existed, but until such a time I think it can stand on it's own merit, if just barely

Comment: Disclaimer: I've participated in the 7DRL challenges and was added to this page at some point.  I disagree with any claims that this fails .  However, I agree that  is very weak at best.  Longer running and more influential game creation challenges, such as Ludumdare were found wanting, for example.  Likewise, DKP, a much more important topic likely than either, got AFDed.  Note that "These other pages must be deleted first!" isn't a practical objection - one can presume they, like this page, were created earlier in Wikipedia's history when people had hope it might become an encyclopedic reference site.  Because  isn't (or shouldn't be) in question, I feel the content should be trimmed (especially of non-NPOV stuff, like commenting on which games were "best") and merged into Roguelike

Comment: In the reasoning for reopening the AfD, it was claimed the article failed to provide the  that was promised in the previous AfD.  Not having witnessed the previous AfD and only having the logs to go by, I don't see any such promise.  Indeed, users such as Lankybugger quite clearly state the only  are roguebasin/rgrd.  Despite this, the consensus was keep.  So what new information is prompting yet another round of bickering?   (One reason for my Merge request is that I see even a Keep consensus as being pointless as it will just be another 6 months before it gets AfDed once more, wasting everyone's time that could be better spent writing roguelikes (or, heaven forbid, improving Wikipedia articles rather than defending/deleting them

Comment: disclaimer #1: Although I did not create this article, I have edited it.  Disclaimer #2: I was a participant in this years 7DRL challenge.  That said, I think  argues for keeping articles about things that are highly notable within a narrow community.  Reliability of sources is not an issue here; none of the statements in the article are controversial.  There is a reason notability is a guideline, not a policy -- notability and newsworthiness are not synonymous.  Some things get a lot more news coverage than others.  Baseball players get so much news coverage that we don't count a ball player as notable until he has played in a major league game, regardless of how many independent reliable sources write about him.  Conversely, there are plenty of subjects that are quite notable within a community that are not covered by the general press.  Roguebasin is, in this case, an independent and reliable source, even though it is not a peer-reviewed journal or an edited news source.  People will come to wikipedia searching for information about 7DRLs.  We should provide them the information they are seeking
