Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it is not exclusively promotional, and is already written to a presentable encyclopedia standard. This article is about a video game, and is described in a neutral point of view, therefore does not qualify for this criterion. As "Promotion" does not necessarily mean commercial promotion; anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organisation, a point of view, etc. There is no negative or positive material in the article, or use of exclamation marks. The article explains the game in an encyclopedia format. It does compare StarMade to Minecraft, but this is done neutrally and is used to demonstrate the similarities between the 2 games (StarMade was inspired by Minecraft). This article does not meet the requirements for a speedy deletion.

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it provides a clear, un-biased description of the game, perfect for people to understand what it is all about. I could not find a single statement or comment that presented an opinion and wasn't written in a neutral tone. I fear that the person who marked this page did not bother to read it all and just skimmed through it. This is definitely not fair to the author(s) of this article as they have put considerable effort into an article which was useful (at-least to me). 122.107.224.66 (talk) 11:27, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable Sources

Hi! I think this article needs more reliable sources. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to cite other wikis as reliable sources. This may be useful for finding some reliable sources. Thanks, --Bananasoldier (talk) 20:37, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please check multiple places for development information

Hey,

StarMade is undergoing active development. There was a major release in October of last year and several minor releases between then and now, most recently at the end of April. The website stopped receiving development updates a while ago because the Discord and Steam community are far more active. The project is certainly not dead, and I'm not sure why the "development is dead" edit to the page flew under the radar incorrectly for nearly 5 months. Check Steam and the Community Discord for update information, not just Starmade's outdated website.

Overall, I think the article needs some updates, and I might do that myself when I get the chance to. Specifically, I think that the Gameplay and Development sections need some work, as there is a ton of outdated and incorrect information.
