was intentionally (and explicitly) following the organization model established for other extensive campaign settings - specifically
Forgotten Realms, but also the various other D&D settings, Freedom City, etc. (i.e., all of those under the "campaign setting" category). While the rule states that wikipedia is not a game guide, there are a multitude of setting descriptions, including the ones mentioned above, that would fall under this restriction. Is there some fine line that I'm missing? The editor, in his kind response to my question, mentioned that it may be an issue of notability (i.e., FR is much more popular than SW) - but if that's the case, then its neither consistent nor fair (i.e., the rules apply to some, but not all, campaign settings). While SW is clearly less popular than things related to WoTC products (and others), it still maintains a fairly substantial group of very devoted fans.
323:. Please come and support the nomination. Check it is up to scratch, look at other critism, and either help address the concerns of those that oppose it or support the article if you believe those concerns are not legitimate. While D&D has it's own project people here should take note of the nomination even if not interested in the topic itself as it is a RPG and the issues raised about this article will also be applied to other RPG articles nominated in the future. -
171:. The way I see it, if someone feels passsionately enough about a certain subject to write on it, then it's worth keeping--so long as the article isn't vanity, blatent advertising, libelous, non-NPOV, etc. That said, every article should strive for excellence: well-written, informative, and accessible. My advice would be to recruit your fellow fans of the setting--if multiple hands are working on & supporting those articles, it will be harder to object to them.--

applying the rules to those that aren't? If notability is an issue, then what are the said guidelines for notability within the RPG project? A general consensus? I've read over the wiki-rules, and felt that SW was at least notable for many RP Gamers. If this isn't an issue, can I proceed with working on this project? I would hate to abandon it now, as I feel its worthwhile expenditure of energy.
151:
My question, then, is "are encyclopedic descriptions of campaign settings allowed?" According to the rules, I don't know. Settings are clearly guides in a way because they tell you about people, places, and things... Are we turning our heads because the established campaigns are more popular and
147:
Now, I'm not trying to call into question the editor's intentions (his were legit) or his motives (keeping wikipedia in good shape), but instead am more concerned with what we are allowed and what we are not allowed to put up concnering campaign settings (more or less to guide me in the future). I

I'm the first person to admit that a small-press role-playing game isn't notable compared to game like chess, but InSpectres is still known and discussed at sites as The Forge and RPGnet. I'll see if I can find some reviews and articles to link to, and will try to motivate why it's notable in the

There are more GURPS articles up for deletion, and I think this will continue as the same editor seems intent on deleting them. My advice is that those people who know more about GURPS than I do (which should be a lot of people in this project) either locate additional reviews, etc on the GURPS

The project's goal is to include all words of all languages, and this includes roleplaying game terminology. Everybody who has ever used both
English and localized sourcebooks of any RPG will know how useful a dictionary of these terms would be, say when you just don't remember what the "Power
520:. Otherwise (as I mentioned above and below) these AfD nominations will continue with the same arguments being given on all of them. Ultimately that will just end up wasting a lot of time and effort from a lot of people, so those in the know should act now to preempt such occurrences.

Hi. I contribute more often to the French wikipedia than to the
English one, and when I created categories to sort roleplaying games by their countries of origin on the French wikipedia, I was glad to see it had already been done on the English one (and on the Swedish one too, actually).
