This is an article about an existing, active roleplaying game which is published in hardcopy. it is not an article about a website. It is notable because it describes a game which is an interesting fusion of Lovecraftian and anime elements being played in the real world . As such it doesn't seem to qualify for insta-deletion.

"Roleplaying game with unclear notability." What the heck does this even mean? Who defines notability and on what criteria? Does an RPG have to win awards to be notable? This is a game played by hundreds (possibly thousands) of people, and they would like a wiki page for it. That should be sufficient reason to allow it a page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krypter (talk • contribs) 17:06, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What defines notability is secondary sources. I agree with you that this game does deserve to be on wikipedia, as much as stuff like Wushu (the roleplaying game) of all things gets to be here (well it looks like it's having notability problems too, oh boy). But what we have to focus on is making a presentable page, not fighting the system. Let's find secondary sources, clean up the page, and start citing things. I just joined Wikipedia today and am trying to clean stuff up. I added the table of contents, some subsections and more information. But given that I just did this within 15 minutes of joining, there has to be someone out there who'd be willing to help us with better formatting.

Okay, I've done a lot now, but there's still a lot of work to be done nonetheless. At least the article is starting to look up to standard, where as before it had no table of contents and sparse information. I need to get word from the guys over at Wildfire LLC about how much they're comfortable with being told on Wikipedia. They've been extremely protective of their setting beforehand, so I'm unsure if we can include any artwork or even how much they want us to say. Which could be a deal-breaker here. But a small framework is here now at least. Secondary sources (the Core books first, but after that, we really need interviews, RPG e-zines, publications and things of that nature) are a high priority. The Mongoose S&P issue with the bit on Cthulhutech's design history seems like a good start, as well as RPG Net reviews and such sources. Wyatt Salazar (talk) 17:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
