Star Wars Role Play Central

  • The fact that it was created just last October and that the article is propaganda more than anything else brings this site's notability and credibility into severe question. --MarcK 04:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

  1. Non-notable, POV; heck, they don't even have their own domain. RMF 04:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

  3. Article is very POV; we are not a recruiting ground. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 04:44, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

1. Does it really mean much if they don't have their own domain? Not really. Also, it may seem persuasive, yes. But the article does not in any case, state, or imply that one should join, or even view it. It just explains the history of the site. I noticed earlier it's final paragraph was rather persuasive, but that has since been edited out, and therfore I fail to see a problem.

  • Show these people some mercy. Keep this but give it a massive rewrite. MyNz 19:56, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

2. I would gladly rewrite it with Saskei and Enigmus' permission, and with a little more detail about the site that I may have missed (since I am somewhat of a later member). I am not sure why domains would matter, as Invisionfree (soon ZBoards) is just simpler for us to work with. We did not intend for the article to be a recruitment tool, we just thought it would be nice to give it a recognition which, in my opinion at least, the site deserves since it has managed to remain alive and well for so long, with its members as strong as ever.

  • I'd gladly rewrite it with the site admins' permission as well as some more details I, or Saskei, may have missed. And in all-honesty, Saskei I believe only added the extra links because he believed that this was why it was voted on quick-delete on Wikipedia before he saw Wookiee. -Lionheart


3. Well, the reason I have a link to the site it'self, is because all articles have links to the things in question (if there is a link to it at all) for sometimes, people wish to further view the thing they are reading about. The other links, to Bioware, and such, are simply for the same reason, for people to view more information on, then the small tidbits I mentioned. I don't argue that it could be viewed as persuasive, as I could understand where you may have gotten that implication. That's specifically why I edited out the last paragraph, which was by far the most persuasive part, even though it was not intended to be. As to the domain issue, as Lion said, IF is just easier for us to work through, and I don't really understand why not having a private domain is that large of a concern here. If you want it rewritten, then Lion will glady do so as he said, until it meets your more standards. - Saskei

  • See, I worry about this. The article seems casual instead of encyclopedic, and NPOV is among the hardest things to get rid of.--The Erl of Wookieepedia talk 01:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • My main objection is in terms of notability. The domain issue was merely an aside, and the POV can be rewritten (even to the point where the article becomes a stub, if it must be)—the issue I am yet to be convinced of is exactly how this site is notable in terms of Star Wars. Sorry if I wasn't clear. RMF 02:32, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I am Enigmus. Head Admin of the site. I apologise for any inconvienience this may have caused. I understand the problems stated and I shall try to rectify them if the article is ever re-written -Enigmus —Unsigned comment by 203.214.115.83 (talk • contribs)
