:Deletion review/The Game (game) (second DRV) - Knowledge (XXG)

Source 📝

3722:: Although this probably isn't the right place to offer my opinion, some people should bear the following in mind: If this article gets deleted, it will get recreated. Some seem to believe that these discussions are riddled with sockpuppets, but that is not the case. Hundreds of thousands of people play The Game. The number of players is growing all the time. The number of people using Knowledge (XXG) is growing all the time. More and more people will visit Knowledge (XXG) to read about The Game. In fact, most people will come to Knowledge (XXG) to add The Game article, they will not expect it to already exist because most people are told about The Game in person, rather than over the net. Because of The Game's name, it will not necessarily be added as "The Game (game)". We have already seen someone add it as "Lost (game)", assumably unaware that this "The Game (game)" article already existed. To the people that hope that deleting this article will make The Game disappear from Knowledge (XXG), it won't. It is completely understandable why you think of this game as stupid and annoying, but people play it regardless. All of this is, of course, my opinion and irrelevant to the verifiabilty of this article. I'm just saying, don't let The Game annoy you too much, because it's not going to go away any time soon. 1562:. The purpose of "votes" like this one is to provide people with a forum for airing a range of opinions and arguments; in the end, it is the best argument that "wins," not the one with the most votes. That the newspaper article was raised in the final days of the review doesn't matter: if it's a good enough exhibit to carry the day, it should carry the day even if nobody sees it but the closing admin. Well, it didn't carry the day--Aaron considered it, decided it didn't bring the article to an acceptable level of verifiability, and kept it deleted. If Ashibaka disagreed with that assessment, the proper course of action would have been to relist the article here, state his belief that Aaron didn't give proper consideration to a new piece of information, and ask for another review. Instead, he went cowboy, decided that 1949:- I can't believe there's been this much chatter about this absolutely inane topic. I've never, ever, ever heard of this in my life before I saw it on here, and in the circles I run in, internet trends and silliness like this would have been brought up at some point. The Belgian newspaper article is useless, if the translation I saw is a good indication - it has no references, no quotes, no nothing but the conjecture of some reporter (and being a reporter, I know that means virtually nothing to notability, especially in an opinion piece - and very especially with absolutely no sources mentioned). It's a dead end of an article, and the fact that people want to use it as verification is scary. Make the insanity stop, and let this die. 4344:- This whole discussion is rediculous, not only do i support putting just about anything on Knowledge (XXG), if i had to start censoring what gets put on and what gets taken off, this would be one of the strongest keeps. The reason wikipedia is better that conventional encyclopedias is that it addapts quickly. An emerging (and some evidence says The Game has been around around a while) social trend, movement, or fashion may not make other encyclopedias by press date, but here on WP we can write up an article as it happens. All my sources indicate that knowledge of The Game is growing, therefore i see it as part of fulfillment of Knowledge (XXG)'s purpose to restore the article in it's entirety. 5289:
acceptable to take a contested speedy to AfD, which is what happened here. Third, as far as I can tell (and I've reread all the relevant guidelines and policies again to make sure), a no consensus defaulting to keep if fundamentally identical to a keep for all policy purposes in an AfD excepting that the closing admin has more leeway about deleting or keeping it. Prodego put time into considering his decision and explained it in in his closing why he decided as he did. If you think such AfDs should not count as passing, that's a policy issue that should be taken up as a policy discussion, not something that should be decided by an ad hoc deletion review.
3782:. This issue is a mess, and the only other thing I'd like to say is that if the article is kept after this mess, per WP policy the article needs to be stripped down to only what the verifiable sources say about it. The article sites one questionable source and mentions another source. Someone needs to get access to both, and any other additional information needs to have another source. If nothing better than blog posts and geocities pages can be found for a bit of information, that information can't be included. Otherwise I could go create a wepage for myGame 2723:, which is why it's such a problem when the status quo doesn't immediately get restored after some admin goes cowboy--it creates a new, invalid precedent and the burden of proof shifts to those defending the prior status quo. The article should not now exist, and this deletion review should properly be about whether the article should be reinstated in light of the Belgian newspaper article, which apparently has taken on the status of a papal encyclical in the eyes of some. Instead, everything's gone topsy-turvy with no easy way to unfuck it. -- 1542:
majority of votes were made without any knowledge of the new source. Basically the closure of the DRV amounts to one admin dictating that the newspaper is not a reliable source. This is exactly the same problem that Zoe's deletion runs into. We do not make decisions based on one admin's view; we work on consensus. Processes are in place to rule on if something is valid within our policies. Those processes should be followed except in the cases where consensus has decided they are exempt from process (CSDs).
1266:. While this "mindless trivia" is neither mindless, nor trivia (at least in the perjorative sense), and is completely at home on Knowledge (XXG), I definitely agree that it is unnecessary and unhelpful to bandy around accusations of vendettas. I for one cannot think of any possible reason for a "vendetta". Sure, some people might well be voting against the article because they dont like The Game, but that is virtually in the same way that others are voting for the article just because they like it. I don't like 4075:
discussions, checking for new facts and modifying their opinions as they feel appropriate. The fact that others did not change their opinions is, to me, reasonably good circumstantial evidence that they were unconvinced by the new evidence. That assumption is being tested here and, I believe, supported by the comparison of opinions between this discussion and the previous one. Few of the people who argued against the article last time have changed their opinions this time around.
4658:
therefore the default state. And frankly, I think relisting this on AFD would just waste a lot more of a lot of people's time. It just went through AFD with no consensus, now it's gone through DRV with no real consensus, another run on AFD will just cause more bad blood and have no productive result. I personally think option 1 works fine, as many people arguing the article should be kept did so on the basis of the proper AFD closure which Zoe disputed with her deletion.-
1966:. The last in-process action, among those listed on the talk page, was the deletion due to the 17 March nomination. The 27 March deletion review led to the result "Keep deleted", and the article was restored. The 14 April AfD led the result "No Consensus", and the article was deleted. This process let to the article being restored. Furthermore, I doubt very much that this game is the most common game called "the Game", but that's a content dispute. — 1244:, so as per the AfD rules, no consensus leads to keep. To argue that since the source is in a different language it shouldn't be in the English Knowledge (XXG) is the most explicit example of the systematic bias which we hope to avoid in writing about world-wide or non-English topics. Finally, it would be strongly appreciated if everyone (regardless of their opinion on the article) would cool off and refrain from personal attacks and try to remain civil. 4094:. According to the timestamp on his comment, the closing admin closed the DRV a mere seven hours after the new article was found. Given the length of the DRV up until that point (well over 300 hours), we're talking about less than 2.5 percent of the DRV's length from this article being presented until close. I'm not saying that this should change or reenforce opinions, just clarifying (having all the info can definitely help make a decision). 5143:
associations also build up. For example, if I lose for whatever reason and happen to be looking at the words "Arthur Rubin", then the next time I see those words I might lose. The more it happens the stronger the association becomes. It is sometimes difficult for players to pinpoint the exact thought process that lead to their loss. The Game is efectively an arbitrary thought that can be used to investigate memory and association. Also,
3209:. The supposed source only convinced those who were happy not to have a source in the first place, underlining the article's lack of verifiability. Attempts to point out that there is a high likelihood that the only source, a single newspaper article, was based on ours are met with "Prove it", as if any and all crap that gets written by bloggers is true until proven false, which is not how you go about writing an encyclopaedia. -- 4931:. In regard "the most common usage on the internet", there's no way of knowing. (The most common usage in real life is impossible to determine, unless one has access to NSA surveillance tapes.) Unless one of the search engines can be coerced into search for "he Game" in exact case, we have no way of determining what the most common use of "The Game" is. (In fact, that's not really adequate either, because it will detect 4360:. I'm going to say the same thing I said in the last AfD. keeps based on vague personal ideas about what Knowledge (XXG) is about and not on the relevant policies and guidelines are unproductive, worsen the already low signal/noise ratio in this discussion, and are likely to cause people to say keep deleted/redelete in reaction. If you don't have a policy-based opinion, it might be better to not say it. 1215:? I think the real question though, is why so many editors have wanted to keep this article whether or not a verifiable source can be found. I think is highly inappropriate for you to suggest that some kind of personal vendetta is driving the effort to keep this article out of Knowledge (XXG). There are a number of us who feel that Knowledge (XXG) does not need this kind of mindless, unsourced trivia. -- 4403:. It seems apparent that there is sufficent refrence to this game in other sources, and there is quite obviously no consensus. Additionaly, I have seen the vast proliferation of the game everywhere I have traveled in the past few years and it would seem that the claim of social phenomenon is absoloutly accurate. Thus I feel that alone is sufficent to warrent this article's existence. 997:. Although IMO back-section fluff like the article used as a source should not necessarily qualify as a reliable source, consensus is that if the leading section of a paper is reliable, then all the articles in the paper are reliable. I think that is a rosy view -- filler articles are often not fact-checked at all, but the article is not in stark violation of policy as it stands. 4032:. This was previously discussed and decided in a Deletion Review discussion. The recreation of the page should have been speedy-deleted. The last deletion review discussion as the last "in-process" decision made. The intervening AFD discussion is, in my opinion, moot. Yes, a single published source has now been found for this topic. But that was raised in the 3035:
dishwater-tepid closes. Hey admins, here's a good rule of thumb: Make your close reasoning proportional to the contention of the close. Even the most liberal reading imaginable of WP:Reliable Sources doesn't let this one in. Shall we start "voting" on Brian Peppers while we're at it? I love process and all, but I love the encyclopedia more, and we
3172:. "Repeated re-creation of an article by previously unassociated editors may be evidence of a need for an article, but repeated nominations for deletion are not necessarily evidence that an article should be deleted, and in some cases, repeated attempts to have an article deleted may even be considered disruptive. If in doubt, don't delete." - 3026:. This article's continued existance is nothing short of an attack on the most foundational concepts of Knowledge (XXG). I, like Zoe, was waiting to see if the newer AfD would have something like a rational discourse. Failing that I'd have liked to have seen the adminstrator closing it to have shown a stronger stance on WP:V. Failing 4306:- I've seen it in play, and heard professors even comment on it. But that's neither here nor there, as that's a topic for a talk page or AFD. I don't see further immediate AFD solving this (I've been over some of the discussions), so I think we have to restore and consider relisting at some future date (6 month rule?) -- 2885:- I still feel this article needs a better source and should be watched to make sure unrefernced material isn't introduced. Also, I'm not pleased that the article was recreated and AfD'd, rather than discussed before recreation. However, it appears that the AfD was closed correctly, so I have no choice to to endorse it. -- 5047:
I can't eliminate, even from the translation in the article's talk page, the possibility that the "article" is a column similar to Dave Barry's — with no intention of asserting acuraccy. (No one has stated specifically that the article was a news item rather than a column.) As has been pointed out,
4134:
verifiable material. SPUI's reversion of FCYTravis's edits, from "a game featured in De Morgen" (which is all that is verifiable form sources) back to claiming it as a cultural phenomenon exemplify the problems with having an article on this subject. I consider it highly unlikely that anybody who is
3524:
Hmm, then a lot of facts in any newspaper article are going to be non-citable. For example, if an article says "Last year, President X of country Y did not visit allied Country _" without citing a source, that would be not-citable in your interpretation. You are rendering most facts in major, such as
3067:
article is not a reliable source by our guidelines. The only part of RS and V that this article fails is multiple verification. Some people view policies through a stricter lens than others, and your view of policy is no more salient that anyone else's. Also, this close was discussed on AN (as you
2999:
The amount of times an article reaches AfD doesn't indicate something is necessarily wrong with the article, nor does someone deleting it out of process. However, there is something wrong when people treat AfD or DRV as a voting process. Even if there were more votes for delete than keep (which, at
2816:. Article should remain in namespace and the administrator's actions should be reviewed. Sysop privileges are just that- privileges, held in trust by representatives of the community to speed along enforcement of consensus. When that trust is violated it harms the community and harms Knowledge (XXG).. 1515:
This individual has offered no new information to justify resurrecting this article that had not already been taken into account during the last deletion review. None. The last legitimate action to have been taken regarding this article was Aaron Brenneman's keep-deleted ruling on April 12, and it is
125:
uses the plural 'sources' in some cases it does not stress requiring multiple, independent sources. My opinion is that there are cases where a single source is sufficient, such as an article about a play could very well be entirely sourced from the play itself. This deletion was also out of process
5359:
15:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC) (Now responding to new observation, after striking out of old) As already pointed out the De Morgen source was on the first review page for all of about 2.5% of the review time, which is in not anyway evidence of an existing consensus. Indeed, the fact that the subsequent AfD
4566:
Not necessarily. As per Aaron Brenneman closing the last DRV on the article, it should have been deleted and permanently locked. Zoe's actions could be justifiable as an attempt to restore the state of the article to that position. Finally, I thought this place was built on consensus? The moment you
4232:
saying that he or she finds it inappropriate to name the professors, simply that they are not named. But the source that is being sought is one that provides evidence that it is a social phenomenon. I don't know that naming a professor and saying "they talked about it" would do much for WP:V right
1751:
Knowledge (XXG) is about consensus, and if those forming a consensus did not have all the information in front of them its hard to see that as a valid consensus. I'm curious in any case, if you think that we should defer to closing admins, shouldn't we defer to Prodego who closed the last AfD as no
1600:
Your first two sentences contradict each another. As you say, the AfD allows people to air "a range of opinions and arguments". However, if the people airing their opinions and arguments are unaware of a key source, then the fact it was raised in the final days clearly does matter. Especially as the
5240:
Regarding the last AfD, maybe I'm disagreeing with the policy on these decisions or something. I don't see why a wimp-out decision of "uh...I dunno" on an article that should not have been recreated in the first place is regarded the same as a majority consensus to keep. (It should've been a speedy
4462:
There is, of course, some ambiguity in the closing rules because both sides believe their action is "endorse closure", which gets an advantage in the counting rules (it only requires a majority, not a 3/4 supermajority). Right now I count about 45 restore votes to 16 delete, a 73% majority. So here
3461:
We have no reason to presume that the newspaper article was based on the Knowledge (XXG) article. In fact, if one compares the deleted version of the The Game article to the newspaper article, one is forced to conclude that there sources are different. They have slightly different rule descriptions
3295:
I don't know, I can't read Dutch (or Flemish, or Belgian, or pretty much any language that isn't English). Should the default assumption be that the article is unsuitable? For that matter, is there any default policy in regards to newspaper articles, given that they tend to be unsourced? I guess
3083:
We do not vote on verification, true. We also do not use absurd and stupid standards for verification that have been cooked up by some overzealous rules-lawyers who want to condense complex issues like the nature of reliable sources into machine-readable guidelines. Simply put, our current reliable
2533:
Heh, the comment you split up was mine also (just for the sake of refrence). I'll go ahead and transport to clear up any confusion. JoshuaZ has it right in regards to a Speedy Delete..there was a recent AfD, of which the result was no consensus. Whether that itself was out of process is a matter
2479:
about how to view this in context of the page about The Game, then a speedy delete is definitely uncalled for. In regards to the oringinal DRV, as several have pointed out, very few saw the Belgian article. This led to, not a community decision based on all the evidence, but a decision by very few
1541:
I don't really care what state the article is in, but I have a hard time calling Brenneman's keep deleted legitimate. The newspaper source was produced way after the debate had settled down (it started March 27th, newspaper article found April 11th) and was copy/paste moved to a subpage. The vast
4536:
The problem faced at present is that not only is there the ambiguity as to the meaning of "endorse clousre", but it's also not entirely clear which decision this DRV is actually reviewing. Is it reviewing the last no-con AfD or the speedy; and if the article was speedied, why is there currently an
4129:
foregn-language newspaper falls a long way short of verifiability per policy in this instance. I saw the source before voting on AfD. But the comments above are right: it should have been protected deleted ikn the first place; determination to include unverifiable material might indicate a desire
4074:
I would disagree with this assessment. The reference to this source was available for several days before the prior DRV discussion was finally closed. In my observation, I have seen that the participants on the Deletion Review page tend to be pretty compulsive and regularly return to and re-read
3815:
While as far as I am concerned, the only issue at hand is whether Zoe's deletion was in-process (and since she went a against a no-consensus vote without talking to the closing admin or bringing the matter here her deletion was not in process. We should be respecting the "no consensus" AfD.), some
1624:
I completely agree with you on the recreation. It should not have been recreated by Ashitaka. The same argument works against Zoe though, which is the action that is actually being reviewed (or the original closure, at this point I'm not even sure). We have processes so that one admin does not
4863:
An admin doing the closing can ignore keep and delete votes that are unrelated to deletion review. The keep votes will still have the majority. 75% is irrelevant unless you can justify counting "keep" as an "overturn" decision. I mentioned that as part of the "wikilawyer option" but didn't expect
4766:
No matter what the decision is it should probably be signed off by at least a few admins, and with a clear explaination. It would be nice if we could stop arguing over what the last "in process" action was along with arguing about the article and the closure of the xth AFD/DRV. I am unsure if AFD
4060:
This source wasn't viewed by the community at large. The closing admin, sure. But in the most recent AFD, an admin who had been uninvolved until that point found it sufficient to keep the article in existance. Regardless, this RfD is in effect serving the same purpose, as people are evaluating
3816:
people have attempted to again bring up the issue of whether the Belgian article is citable under Knowledge (XXG) policy and guidelines. I have therefore performed a little experiment on the talk page of this review, applying their standard to a New York Times article. The result is illuminating.
3525:
the New York Times, uncitable. If you want, on the talk page of this DRV, I'll take a section of a representative article(only a paragraph or two for fair use) and go through whats citable under this standard. The answer is, almost none. Nor for that matter, is your "policy" backed up anywhere in
2009:
I echo JoshuaZ's reply to Pegasus1138's response above. A seven-day, full-fledged, perfectly in-process discussion took place during the April AfD, showing that there is currently no community consensus to delete the article. Ruling to void this AfD because of a claim its mere existence was not
4657:
One more time: there is no process for creating articles, and it's OK to take something that's a potential speedy candidate to AFD. And if it survives AFD, it's not a speedy candidate as a recreation any more. There's no basis to say the most recen AFD was "out of process" and that deletion is
4541:
hope of leading to a resolution - and #2 will just be closed as per #5. Sigh. Also, I'm not sure I like the description of deleting the article as "going cowboy"; if the decision is made to concur with the speedy deletion (which may or may not be the case), then deleting the article is the right
2985:
If four diffrent people have put this up on AFD, and it has been deleted twice, something is seriously wrong with the article, not to mention something wrong with our methods. Even though there is no consensus, when looking at all of the discussions, there are more delete votes than keep. This
2838:
There really isn't. If you disagree, please point out an element of policy somewhere that contradicts me, or that says that recreations can't be taken to AFD rather than speedy deleted at a user's discretion. Therefore, the most recent in process close was Prodego's AFD close as no consensus.
1629:
to decide that they know better than everyone else. If you accept the result of the AFD you reward one admin's cowboy attitude, but the converse is also true as Zoe's action is the same. She decided that she knew better than the closer of the debate and deleted it instead of bringing it here.
184:
It is isn't clear to me how any of that is relevant. And don't think you mean "falsified" but "incorrect" Finally, its not Knowledge (XXG)'s job to investigate a reliable source once the source is reliable. Just because there have been issues in (to use the perennial example) the New York Time's
4251:
Oh no, I definitely agree with that. I just don't follow that some professor at some school mentioning it in lecture (never mind how hard sourcing that is going to be) will help us if WP:V is still being debated. A (peer reviewed) psychology journal, on the flipside, would help immensely, and
863:
I believe that the claim here is that as recreated content that failed a deletion review it is effectively out of process. In fact, this is incorrect, recreated content is speediable if uncontested, it then goes to AfD (I think), but in any case, given that the AfD occured and it was a clear no
5237:
I've said pretty much all I can say about this in previous debates. I'm getting tired of it, and I don't see why this nonsense needs to be here in the first place. It's just not encyclopedic, and all I ever have seen the article used for is the collection of original research, and the supposed
4736:
I think a more accurate summary would be that Speedy Deleting before the most recent AfD would have been in process, speedying after is definitely not. There's also a lot of people who don't think that one admin should be the end all be all on a source most people hadn't seen at the time. (Of

2114:
There's no such thing as "out of process" creation of an article because there is no process for creating articles. A speedy deletion of the article immediately after its recreation probably would have been an in process action, but taking it to AFD instead is not "out of process," and, as no
1465:
Now, wait a sec... just because something is an absurd children's game, that doesn't mean that noting it is valueless. I'm sure a child psychologist could make an interesting observation regarding the appeal of the game to young minds vs. the disgust it can inspire in adults. In that sense, I
5288:
Three issues with yout statement: First, as already pointed out, the new version of the article is very arguably a new version and thus acceptable as a recreation without going through another review. Second, even if it shouldn't have been recreated, that's makes a speedy candidate, and it is
3510:
Let me put it this way: No referred sources, no consideration as a source whatsoever from me. A reporter who'd given me that article for publication would have gotten it back, as confetti. Printing it in anything but, say, a school newspaper or a tabloid is really sad if the paper is actually
5142:
Arthur, people play The Game for number of reasons. Personally, I find it interesting to see what causes people to think of The Game, and hence lose. Sometimes these will be obvious causes, such as talking about other games, but at other times the reasons will be completely abstract. Various

If there is a simple majority to endorse a decision, then no further action is taken — the decision stands. If there is a three-quarters supermajority to overturn a decision and apply some other result to the debate, it is applied. If there is neither a majority to endorse the decision nor a

explicitly implied that he was aware of the article and still didn't consider it sufficient), the fact remains that the article was deleted, it was sent to DRV which did not overturn that decision, and a day later the article was back. DRV is about assessing process, not forming consensus to
1019:
I agree that there are serious problems with a single source for a phenomenon that is contained in only one verifiable source, but that can be addressed within the article. If the source is found to be circular back to Knowledge (XXG) or otherwise questioned, a new AfD would be appropriate.
3034:
admins who closed this take the time to write something up regarding the manner in which they closed. None of these things happened. Instead, we've had the most extreme case of clutching at straws with regard to sources I've ever had the displeasure to observe, followed by not one but two
4160:
True, a website was set up to get refrences. However, I don't know that said website is that popular, particularly amongst those who aren't already coming to this wiki (and thus involved in the search as it is). I'm wondering if STG.org isn't serving an identical purpose to the article's
5183:: I really don't see a problem here. Article was written put up for AfD, consensus was to delete, subsequently confirmed by DRV. New article is written, addressing WP:V concerns, article is taken to AfD as recreation of deleted content, AfD decides it's fine. Totally within process. -- 4417:. Per Polotet. AfD is still in-process, even if speedy deletion was an option. One cow administrator's novel ideas aside, there is no consensus on the issue of verifiability, which defaults to a keep. hoepfully we can put this absolutely ludicrous debate to rest for at least a while. 3296:
what I'm looking for is either something in Wiki policy that somewhat clearly says this is not an acceptable source, or some evidence that the article was based on Wikis. Lacking either of those, I accept it as a valid source (but can see why others might be hesitant not to accept it)
4824:
Your vote doesn't seem to have much to do with deletion policy. We're not discussing the content of the article, but the decisions that have been made about its deletion. Also, spreading the mistaken idea that Knowledge (XXG) is necessary to "keep The Game alive" or "save The Game" is
2775:
I'll elaborate on my beans, then. Anyone who invokes yet another process (like starting a 5th AfD, speedy deleting the article, starting an RfC, etc.) shortly after this DR closes should be reverted for disruption. Nothing is going to change in a week to create consensus, and the

solicitation for more sources, in that anyone who would go there is already aware of that need. If anything, it's more of a fansite, and I don't think it's lack of results is indicative of anything more than the article's lack of results with its own request for more sources.
4737:
course, the proper channel then would have been to DRV it again, but it's a bit late for that). If you're not happy with the source, of course you should bring it back to AfD. I doubt it will get any more consensus than it has in the past, but feel free to try it anyway.
3985:
of the closures, not on the article itself, because we've had enough unproductive discussion of the article. And maybe you meant to do so, in a way I don't understand. Do you mean that one of closing decisions hinges on whether the Belgian newspaper article is impressive?
2386:
Google searches do not establish prevalence with high accuracy, but they can make a rough approximation. If for example, you go through the hits on that phrase by hand, you will find that almost all of them are referring to The Game (game). As for the issue of naming it
3084:
source and verifiability guidelines are deeply flawed documents that close off large numbers of valid paths for large numbers of valid articles in pursuit of foreclosing the viewpoints of a handful of nutjobs that we were perfectly capable of foreclosing anyway.
5271:
And this is the problem I have. An admin looking in there, shrugging their shoulders and saying "I dunno...no consensus" shouldn't count as "passing" AfD if the article should not have even existed, immediately after a DRV that said it should've stayed deleted.

people about what a real source is and what is and isn't encyclopedic, instead of rolling over and giving it up because guys who "learned it in camp" think it should stay. If we do not develop a robust method of dealing with issues like this we're doomed. -

this article fails. Nor is an article multiple paragraphs in length, devoted solely to the subject a "passing" mention. Lastly, unless you're suggesting STG.org is some massively popular site, I don't think it's lack of results is indicative of anything.

Count the options asymmetrically. This will function exactly the same as one of the above arguments, except it gives people the opportunity to call you biased and thus creates even more conflict. This is almost the most disruptive possible choice, except

WHAT sources?! The newspaper article quoted nothing at all. There is *no* source in it. It reads like an opinion piece, IMO, and really has nothing to give this discussion except a useful thing for people to point to and say "Look, a source!" Totally
2629:. This battle has been long, ugly, and increasingly indeed a battle rather than a debate. Voters have refused to listen to changes in facts, administrators have acted solely on their own opinions. Every outcome has been disputed, every appeal made. 4916:
I'm confused by your comment, what justification is there for protecting it? As I understand the protection policy, the two basic reasons an artice can be protected is to 1) prevent a temporary edit war 2) deal with an extreme vandalism attack.

that it'll survive AFD (since it was on weeks ago), we shouldn't put it up. We can stick a notice on the talk page, asking users not to relist for 3-6 months. That'll allow time for tempers to cool and for people to maybe find more references

deletion review discussion and failed to convince the community to change their opinions. I personally find a single human interest story on a slow news day to be insufficient to support an encyclopedia article. This remains a non-article.
3980:
Sure, there's some disagreement about which closure we're discussing, as the lead section of the DRV mentions both the closure of AfD #4 and Zoe's speedy deletion afterward. To stay on topic, I'd like people to base their comments on at least

What Robert said, with the reservation that it's not actually consensus but a lack of consensus that brings us to this conclusion. There's a strong case to be made for changing the no-consensus outcome for AfDs, but with the current policies,

was a no consensus is strong evidence that if the people involved in the primary review had been aware of the De Morgen article many might have responded differently. Furthermore, the second and third points above still stand by any account.
2647:
I've seen some concerns that everything after the original DRV was out of process. If the article passes this DRV, which has all of the evidence available, are we back in process, or is it still invalidated by the recreation of the article?
5261:
It was a candidate for speedy. Until someone took it to AfD and it passed (as closed by an admin uninvolved until asked to evaluate and close the AfD). It should have gone back to DRV instead of being recreated, but since it passed AfD...
4583:
I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my above comment. What I meant was that the 73% makes it hard to claim at this point in time that there is a consensus to delete. Incidentally, I think bringing it back to AfD may be the most sensible thing.
2395:, thats an issue removed from whether some version of the article should stay. I suggest we resolve the deletion/restoration matter and then concentrate on problems like the naming if it is restored. The matter is complicated enough as is. 946:

I have the sinking feeling we'll only get another non consensus if we go to AfD again (I doubt this DRV is going to have a strong consensus either way either), not to mention the concern over what is and is not out of process in this case
5395:
While I agree with your general sentiment, it is fallacious to say that any given article should stay because there are more egregious ones. The response to that is "we'll get around to dealing with those later" or something like that.
5386:- why this article has attracted so much attention on the grounds that it's unverifiable is quite mysterious, since there are many, many, many more articles which actually are failing on verifiability grounds and yet remain undeleted. 2461:. Even though I'm still unhappy with the recreation that led to the April AfD, I'll respect the no consensus that resulted from that AfD, which was certainly in-process. And since "no consensus" = "keep", that should be the end of it. 4372:
My personal observations have suggested that these sorts of votes tend to result in a differing analysis; the more nonsense votes, the less arsed the closing admin is and the more likely they are to wimp out and say "no consensus".
3246:
Is there any evidence that the newspaper article was based on something written on Wiki? It's one thing to say people are ignoring this "high likilihood", but how is your claim any different from that of a "crap writing blogger"?
2701:
Given Zoe's recent comments on my talk page, I would not be surprised if she choose to delete it again even after this review was complete. She seems to think that no form of consensus can override her interpretation of policy.
4681:
So, to summarize your position: Deleting this article because the single, sorry-assed article that's been provided as a source offers no clue as to where any of its information comes from was illegitimate; sending out a giant
1299:
I'm not saying that everyone has a vendetta, just that the actions of Zoe (which I believe is the cause of this current discussion) are unreasonable and appear to be a case of exactly what you describe, a dislike of The Game.
584:. Incidentally, let me say again that I hate the process obsession such that I'm expected to figure out what the fuck the closure I'm endorsing or rejecting is. Article is verifiable. Article should exist. Isn't that simpler. 3565:. The article, and the arguments for it, make a mockery of wikipedia. Is this an encyclopedia or not? If people want it to be a chat room/forum discussion for their own little games, they should be big enough to admit it. 5241:
candidate in my opinion...the argument against it was that the recreated article was different enough from the cruft-tacular article that was put through AfD #3 to dodge the "recreation of deleted content" qualification.)
1239:
We've been over most of this before. The newspaper is a major Belgian newspaper. Major newspapers often are seen to have presumption of reliability. There was essentially no consensus as to whether or not the source met
3970:
Per the instructions at the top of the drv, "When making recommendations, please use 'delete' or 'restore' where possible, as "endorse closure" is not particularly informative in this saga with at least six closures."
4485:
I've put those options in order of how much conflict they'll create. Note that the first three end up keeping the article, eventually. Is there any reasonable justification for choosing an option besides the first?
445:
The single source didn't show up until the end of the DRV discussion, most of the commentators in the DRV probably never saw it, and it is unclear to me whether or not the closing admin looked at the source either.
5458:
The name of the article is essentially unrelated to this review. Please keep discussion related to the merits of the article name to the relevant talk page. This is confusing and complicated enough a review as is.
980:
Seconded. This sort of unilateral action only serves to show the loss of perspective caused by this whole sordid affair. Do we have to allow this DRV to run its full course, or is there a "speedy keep" option?
724: 86: 5121:

4089:
While the people not changing their opinion this time may be telling, and people rereading and rechecking DRV or AfD is true in my experience, I'm going to have to disagree on one major point here. You said
1601:
majority of the discussion was about verifiability. As for "Please do not reward this behavior", whether or not Ashibaka followed correct procedure is irrelevant to whether or not this article should exist.

My intent was to discuss the closing by Prodego by playing the part of Zoe challenging the closure in the nomination. Sorry if this confused anyone, but I'm sure no matter what there would be ambiguity.

latest closure and thus the article should be kept. The only other option (if you follow the process) would be to relist on AFD. There is certainly not a supermajority to overturn the closure.
2423:. Unverifiable from reliable sources. The fact that only one passing mention in a Dutch-language newspaper could be found even after an website was set up to solicit citations is telling. 4695:. Well, you've helped me make my mind up on one thing, at least: when this article is retained—and it will be—I'll take it back to AfD myself, if someone else doesn't get there before me. -- 5311:. As far as I can tell, the "new" version differs from the "old" in that the AfD notice was removed, and a couple of links were removed. And that's it. Are you seeing something I'm not? -- 5016:
I disagree. Unless, of course, you think the DeMorgan article was a hoax, and that there's a massive band of people spread across the internet trying to pull one over on Knowledge (XXG).

criteria for this article. I suppose taking it to DRV would have been more prudent, but I'm 99 percent sure the result would have ended up little different from what we've recieved here.
4635:
Another AfD will simply be a madhouse (again, nothing has changed since the last one) and have no end result worthy of interpretation. To satisfy everyone's concerns, we simply need a
373:. What an odd situation. First the article was recreated out of process after DRV determined to keep it deleted, then it's deleted out of process after the AfD decided to keep it. Huh. 4469:
Count both options as overturns, so neither option makes the 3/4 supermajority (though "restore" misses by just 2%), and we have to relist the discussion as AfD #5, where there is a
1855:) to find one who hasn't been involved in the debate, presumably. I don't pretend to know the full details of administrative process, though, so I'm willing to be corrected on that. 479:
I'd urge everyone who wants an article kept based upon a single (unsourced) newspaper article to carefully review the guidelines on verification, bias, and reliability of sources.
4626:
I was thinking not in terms of policy (I can't see a very good policy reason to relist) but as a reasonable compromise that will make the most people happy. Compromise is good.
5203:
Just as improper as it was for the creator of DRV #1 to decide that the closing admin's decision wasn't good enough for them, and remove the protection on the deleted article?
3668:: I would seriously consider asking ArbCom to rule on this. I know they don't generally consider content disputes, but this is a little bigger than your usual content dispute. 2534:
for another time. But speedying after an AfD found no consensus when WP:V was put to the question, and WP:V is the reason for speedying..that's what I had the problem with.

I think he is saying that recreating the page was out of process, so therefore the AfD should be discounted as out of process. I would disagree with that assessment however.

It's a social phenomenon, and I don't see any grounds for deletion. 1505:, or keep deleted, or whatever. This article was kept deleted on April 12 by an admin who had full awareness and knowledge of the fabled Belgian newspaper article. 5329:. Again, basically the same article except that everything in the newer version comes from the source that the closing admin had just rejected as failing to meet 3620:
How do arguments about how policy should be implemented and if something meets Knowledge (XXG)'s standards make a mockery of Wiki? I thought that was the point?

Then how do you explain the change from a delete result on the "last valid" AFD to a clear no consensus on the one we just had. Even the closing admin stated on

Your comment is about the article. It would belong in an AfD, and that already happened. Discussions here are not about articles, but about deletion decisions.

That article has no sources. I am going to assert that it is completely made up, and that you are in fact a kitten huffing robot still because it has none.
