vL on wikipedia

We're a niche group certainly, but I find it rather offensive to state that we're not notable within that niche.

As do I. I know that a lot of programmers would not have been the people they are today without vL, myself included.

Well I at least voted to keep. Probably won't matter though.

I think merging into Battle.net would be in error; if anything, BNLS would be more appropriate.

Gone.

* hismajesty[yL] motions for somebody to start the article anew (without it being such a stub and to actually have more information/reason for notability/etc.)

Someone from vL.

Why bother? If they deleted us once, they'll likely not see the error of their ways when we recreate. I find it amusing that the AfD page asserts that the sudden swell of support was mere sock puppetry.

I don't think that is allowed on wikipedia. At least, there are rules against people writing about themself and I'm sure groups fall into this category as well.

I think it was because people did it anonymously.

Since we'd all be "original source" content producers, I think we should put the article on Wikisource.

I already appealed. It's going to be undeleted.

If I was a bit more familiar with the Wikipedia system I might have done so myself. I had the same thoughts regarding the deletion process as you did.
