Non-notable Half Life mod. Previously listed as a speedy delete, but it doesn't meet the SD criteria. --Diberri | Talk 22:57, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- reads like a copyvio though. --Ianb 23:01, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Ah, I missed that. It's a copy of [1]. I've marked it accordingly. --Diberri | Talk 23:54, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Update: May not be a copyvio (see talk); followed up with CoP. Please vote based on the article's encyclopedic potential and not on its copyvio status. --Diberri | Talk 20:15, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
- OK, but I'm not convinced of the enyclopedic worth of this. Is it released (the site speaks of game testers), is it known in the Half-Life community? I have no idea (third party opinions welcome though), but on the basis of the available evidence (including just one google hit) it sounds like advertising for something new... (even it it is an excellent product, which is not the matter of debate). Delete. --Ianb 23:10, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Delete: I don't think that a mod of this level and preliminary nature offers us evidence of notability that we can verify. The article doesn't help us. Geogre 00:44, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep: I thought the gameplay was fairly unique and therefore somewhat notable as compared to most mods (ie, all but one person starting on one team, and then gradually joining the other team as they die.). Other Half-Life mods that are shown on the "List of Half-Life mods" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Half-life_mods) page that are not necessarily very well-known or popular, or even unique, and yet they are still listed. The only difference here is that I actually wrote up a description of the mod (The excerpt is a description I wrote for the site that the excerpt is taken from, so there is no copy-right violation. I am the mod's leader, after all...) for when you click on the Wiki page for it, whereas many of the other mods, such as "Drug Barons", "Xen Exploration Team", and "Rats-Mod" have nothing on their correlating page. In other words, if it's a case of popularity or being well-known, then there are already other mods listed there that are not necessarily very popular or well-known. The main difference was I wrote up information for the mod's wikipage itself, and many of the others have nothing linked to them. Perhaps it only deserves to be listed on the HL mods list page along with the others, but is not well-known enough to warrant it's own page with information?

- Twilight, I know that the List of Half-Life mods isn't presently organized with paragraphas about each mod, but how about writing some description there? The question under consideration here, as nearly as I can summarize it, is not how good or unique the mod is, as much as whether it is known to such a degree that people will search for and need information on it. Since this is broken out into a separate article, there is also a question of whether people know this mod outside of Half-Life's mod community. No one is against a description of the modification, that I can tell, but it is quite possible that a poor mod that gets on more computers is going to be more useful to an encyclopedia than a brilliant but unknown one. Again, for my part, I would love to see some description in the List article, if the break-out article does not survive the VfD vote. Geogre 21:20, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
It would seem that it did not survive. I'll write up a description for the HL mod list. How long should it be, to avoid aggravating/annoying/worrying people? Thanks for the vote of confidence, in any case. Twilight
