Frag-Ops page deletion...?[edit]

Why was the page about Frag-ops (a UT2004 mod) deleted?

Frag-ops is a UT2004 mod, just like "Red Orchestra (game mod)" which seems to have a Wiki page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Drkimca (talk • contribs) 11:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Frag-Ops

Hello Drkimca. It was deleted for two reasons: because it did not assert notability, and because it sounded like an advertisment. Red Orchestra is different because it has a claim of notability (as the winner of game prizes and such), and it's written encyclopedically. Let me know if you have further questions. --Fang Aili ^talk 15:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aili, I'm sorry the original post sounded like an advertisement. As far as the "advertisement" tone of the post; I don't think the original poster understood the Wiki style criteria. Perhaps if you would undelete the page, it could be modified to the proper style. Frag-Ops is a non-commercial, volunteer project (like the Wikipedia) and its userbase are an enthusiastic group.

As far as "notability," this is a significant mod for the Unreal 2 engine and has been worked on and played by users around the world (like "Red Orchestra" and other Unreal mods covered in Wikipedia.)

Thank you for your attention in the matter.

Hi Drkimca. I'm afraid I can't undelete it at this time. It would need a complete rewrite to not sound like an advertisement. If you like, you can email me, and I'll respond with a copy of the article. Also, if you try again, it would help if you added sources proving that it is notable (played by users around the world, etc). This way it won't get speedy deleted again.
