Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nexus War (3rd nomination)
Notability isn't a measure of how much anyone likes X, it's whether or not X measures up to |the notability guideline. The article should be reinstated when sources appear, if they appear. WP is a tertiary source which does not allow |original research, by its very nature we need secondary sources to craft half-decent articles. The quality of writing is not under question, whether it passes the inclusion guideline is. Deleted articles can be reinstated by administrators, there's no need to write from scratch but there is a need to get those sources first, it's not much to ask that Nexus Wars measures up to the same sourcing standards expected from every WP article. Contributors putting the article up for deletion or agreeing it should be deleted are assuming good faith - constant recreation is ignoring the bold-typed warning on the creation page "Articles that do not cite reliable published sources are likely to be deleted" and causes these drawn out debates. If Nexus Wars players are labouring under the misconception that being a player has anything to do with it, they need to look again at why the article gets deleted. The whole point of WP is that you don't need to be an 'expert' to write about something, you use the primary source and informed secondary sources to do the talking
