Space Station 13 – Moot. The consensus here is that since the original AfD was so long ago (9 years), the decision of that time is no longer relevant. Anybody is free to simply go ahead and create a new article with this title without need for review – -- RoySmith(talk)21:43, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
The article was removed because of lack of notability. The game was once a small community on a game engine called Byond. Now its the largest game on Byond and was featured in multiple magazines. It has a huge community and large servers. Smaller games on Byond have their own articles on Wikipedia, so I believe that the Space Station 13 article should be restored.
Comment: Can you provide proof of the coverage? If you can show where the game has had coverage in reliable sources then it would help show that the game now passes notability guidelines. The size of a game's fan or userbase doesn't count towards notability- it makes it more likely that the game would have gained coverage, but it's not a guarantee. As far as other articles existing (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), that doesn't necessarily mean that this game should have an article. It may just mean that those articles haven't been deleted yet or pass notability guidelines. I don't mean to sound harsh, just that we need proof of coverage. I'll see what I can find, though.

Comment the deletion discussion appears to be 9 years ago, I doubt we'd worry too much about that decision now, so I'm not sure why it'd be here at DRV. If a suitable article can be written meeting the relevant standards, then go ahead and do it (though I doubt blog posts are really what you want for source here). --86.2.216.5 (talk) 19:19, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No point restoring this: the article's been userfied to User:Bluefist/Space Station 13; the most recent nonblanked version is here; and it'll be of absolutely no help in building a proper article. There's nothing stopping you from writing a new article, though - nobody's going to speedy delete G4 something that was last discussed at VFD in 2005. No need to ask DRV. —Cryptic00:19, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Permit recreation - if OP wants a formal consensus for recreation then I'm happy to contribute to that effort. Can't fault community spirit! Go for it, I say. St★lwart11111:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
