Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guitar Zero 2
I am the original writer of the article. First off, there are several sources other than the forums, including a YouTube account, and a Blogspot from the author, as well as the two sources from Kotaku. Sources are not a problem, however there is a greater ratio of sources from the forum then of other places. I can find other sources if need be, though. Secondly, for the person(s) who say that this is a "crystal ball" of updates; it is quite a bit more. Yes updates are discussed here; but the main reason I put this article up, was because of an interest from not only members of the game's forum, but also other people, of the game's history. This is what the article is (mainly) about; the game's history. That also rules out the theory that the page was put up merely for advertising. (Although I will not deny that it did most likely boost the number of visitors to the forums where the game was up for download.) Thirdly, the "company," as it is being called by many, has made contact with the lawyers which work for Activision and originally gave the C&D. Currently both the staff and the lawyers are trying to work to come to a decision on what should happen to the game (and the outlook is very good). So to take down the article now would be a waste of time later, when it seems very likely that the game will survive. Fourthly, the game '''DOES''' exist, and those who say it doesn't, obviously did not study enough into the matter to have a very valuable opinion. The download links have been taken down for the time being in order to peacefully resolve the C&D matter. Fifthly, to keep this article up does not mean we are "crystal balling" about it's future. In fact, we indeed are not. I know I have probably thrown in a "what if" situation in this explaination somewhere, but everything '''''in the article''''' has already taken place, so we are not predicting anything about the game's outcome in it's current situation. Sixthly, I am aware of , but do you really think it does not play a role here? It is simply a comparison to other things of the same basic nature. In this case, FOF and Unsigned, which are more or less the same as this game, just spiced up with awards. Also be aware that their sources are not any more notable, going to wiki's, forums, and websites, just as ours do. Lastly, I realize that this is an article on the first Guitar Zero, but I thought I should bring it to your attention. http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Zero Why has this not received a warning? I would really like to know.If you guys come to the consensus that the article should be removed, I personally don't mind. Remove it. But if you do, I will most likely make an article again in the distant future, when the game has "reached Wikipedia's level of notability." I will check with respected Wikipedia members before posting to check notability, and I would expect to be able to initially justify myself and the new reasons for putting it up, instead of immediately being met by this again (which if you guys didn't know; I was. Someone put a deletion sticker on it forgive me I don't know what that notice at the top is called not even three hours after the article went up when I made it... And this has happened every other time an article was made for the game previously, although I had nothing to do with those articles, so they very well may have deserved it, but it seems that someone has had it in for us)EDIT:: The website referred to by PHARMBOY is not our official website. It was a website created by me, then dropped for a new website created by forums member ConfusingBoat. The official website was taken down. This simply proves my point. You didn't look at the sources when the website was still up; I know this because there is a source that would have led you directly to the official website. It is down now until the C&D issue is resolved, though. So no point in checking now
