Proposed deletion of Guitar Zero 2

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Guitar Zero 2, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Guitar Zero 2

I have nominated Guitar Zero 2, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guitar Zero 2. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

The comments I made may not apply to everyone. However, generally when someone !votes "SAVE", it's an indicator that they're not a regular Wikipedia contributor, since the standard comments are Keep/Delete/Redirect/whatever. For what it's worth, however, webduelist (talk · contribs), X orange90 x (talk · contribs), Bm2092004 (talk · contribs), and in fact yourself, have all made very few edits outside of the Guitar Zero 2 article or the AfD. Encouraging users on an off-site forum to "vote" to keep an article is considered meatpuppetry and a violation of policy.

The WP:ATA link was directly mainly at those who commented in favor of keeping the article. All of the comments made by those in favor of deletion made valid points based on relevant policies and guidelines, specifically notability, verifiability, reliable sources, and Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. The comments in favor of keeping the article centered mainly on "the project is not dead", "articles on similar games haven't been deleted", "the game will be up once the lawsuit is figured out", "there are YouTube references as well", etc. None of those are valid arguments against deletion: simply because something exists does not mean it should have an article; other article's existence or non-existence is irrelevant for a discussion on Article X, as they do not set precedent; there is no guarantee the lawsuit will be figured out, and we have no way of accurately predicting that; YouTube, blogs, and forums, are all considered unreliable sources because they can be self-published or easily modified at will, and depending on the content may violate our policy on external links.

The decision to delete the article was made based on the consensus of the discussion. Consensus is not counting votes (hence why we call comments in a deletion discussion "not-votes" or "!votes"), it's judging what people agree with more, as well as what arguments are more relevant to policies and guidelines. In this case, and as I've just explained, the comments in favor of deletion were more well-phrased, made by users who weren't obviously here just for that purpose, and as it turns out there were more of them anyway (again, not that it matters). Reviewing the policies, guidelines, and essays I linked to in the last paragraph should help you out there. I hope this answers your questions, but you are welcome to contact me again if they don't.
