Speedy deletion of DevMaster.net
[edit]
A tag has been placed on DevMaster.net requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 13:30, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Re: Speedy deletion of DevMaster.net
[edit]As described in the first section of the DevMaster.net article, DevMaster.net is best known for its Games and 3D Engines Database (aka. 3D Engine Database), and is, by far, the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information on Game Engines (which are the primary tools/technologies used by game developers). I have personally found it invaluable in finding and comparing game engines in the past.
In addition to the description of the main features and history of the website, I was going to provide additional information on the aforementioned 3D Engine Database, including a listing of the top ranking commercial and open-source 3D engines. This page was created because it is referenced by the Game Engine article on Wikipedia (which now points to a non-existent page) as it was the primary source of information used in the Notable Engines section, and was a basis for other references to significant game engines throughout the article. Beyond that, DevMaster.net is directly linked to, or listed as a reference, on 20 Wikipedia articles, most of which are referring to it in the context of its 3D Engine Database.
Also, beyond DevMaster.net's role as arguably the best source of information on game engines, it is also one of the 3 primary community, news, and information sites for the Game Development Industry. This can be substantiated by the following:
- 1st ranking on Open Directory (dmoz.org) in 3D Games Programming
- 4th most popular Game Programming website on Alexa (ranked right after Gamasutra, GameDev.net, and GarageGames, all of which have their own articles on Wikipedia)
- 1st page (2nd search result) on Google for "3D Engine" (right after most popular open-source engine OGRE)
- 1st page (4th result) on Google for "Game engine" (right after Wikipedia and developer/publisher GarageGames).
I propose that this delete be reverted. I have a local copy of this article available and can repost it, but I would like to hear your thoughts on whether, in light of this additional information, you would consider it a relevant - or helpful - article to include on Wikipedia. And, I would appreciate any suggestion you have as to what, if any, of the above facts or descriptions would be helpful to include in the article to better explain its relavance.

As its been a while without a response, I have recreated this page, with improved/corrected content, and also placed the above justification on its Talk page. We can continue the discussion there. And, I would appreciate if, on that talk page, you would make any suggestions you may have as how to make this page more useful/relevant to viewers, or what of the above facts should be included to make this clear.

3D computer graphics software edits
[edit]There have already been several discussions about a page rework like this. In fact the page formally was in a similar but different structure to your changes and all it did was left the page in a constant copy fight between application fans. The page in this format has remained stable and useful for readers, and a change like this needs to be formally discussed and agreed upon before being implemented.
Just looking at your sorting of "Major 3D modeling package" vs. "Other commercial packages", it appears arbitrary and POV. How did you even quantify this? Your edits also lead me to suspect COI. BcRIPster (talk) 15:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
BcRIPster, I responded on your talk page. --dlee3d (talk) 09:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I will answer carry this over to the article talk page and move your reply to there, but will not have a chance to do so until tonight. Thanks and I'll reply soon there.BcRIPster (talk) 19:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I have written an answer over on the Talk page. BcRIPster (talk) 21:56, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
