*Well, since you used me as an example, I figured I'd try and give an opinion on this. ''How many mods does someone need to produce before they are notable?'' None, surely? Maps and mods are only one part of what is contributed by the Doom community. Why would a WAD reviewer, a well known one at that, not be notable? If reviewers aren't notable, why did no-one object when [[Kmxexii]] make his own page? Admittedly, I don't know much about Aquarius. As far as I know, he's best known for reviewing Terry wads, which really don't deserve the attention and maybe in that sense, he is not notable. Then again, neutrality etc.

* '''Keep.''' I'd argue that Illuminatus, at least, is a notable enough work (i.e., it's a real work by the author, and although being generally considered as being mediocre, it shows a honest attempt at trying to make a good mapset rather than a quick trollwad or crapwad; it has been published on idgames and received /newstuff chronicles reviews [https://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/61830-the-newstuff-chronicles-419/ here] and [https://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/68776-the-newstuff-chronicles-450/ there] and an [https://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/59990-project-illuminatus-32-level-megawad-beta-testers-wanted/ ongoing 5+ page project thread]). By being the author of a notable enough work, Cory becomes also a notable enough author. The YouTube reviews are more anecdotal as far as I'm concerned, but since he's notable enough to get a page, and they are Doom-related, then they deserve a mention on said page. (For the comparison with kmxexii, I'd argue again that the greatest reason for notability was his contribution to the Cacowards, with the reviews being tied to that Cacoward aspect.) I'd also like to bring attention to Quasar's "webmaster" argument: people are coming to this wiki to find information on this person; maybe not enough to write home about but given our community's size still too many to dismiss quickly.

You guys really need some kind of WP:COI equivalent. Grain of Salt 02:06, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to propose one, but IMO it would do more harm than good.  Unlike Wikipedia, we routinely cover topics with no known written records [1]; sometimes the only way to create an accurate article is with the involved parties' help.  We can't prove that a Doom Wiki account belongs to a certain person anyway; sometimes we think it's a troll impersonating them (e.g. Ruba).  We end up having to judge each edit as though made by an unrelated editor, and when we do, the large majority turn out non-notable regardless.  Some more previous discussion is here.    Ryan W 06:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
I guess you're right. It's just irritating to see articles that exist to massage someone's ego. Grain of Salt 02:38, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't see how reviewing crappy Doom Wads, especially Terry wads to be something notable. Other than reviewing Doom Wads, he has done nothing notable within the Doom Community, so I agree with the nomination. Justice ∞ 02:39, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Objection: This guy also has an upcoming megawad coming up, but why doesn't having over a thousand people who like you make you notable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.57.205.225 (talkcontribs) . 01:48, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Objection. This guy is great. He deserves his own page! He's worked hard on his videos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Majorarlene (talkcontribs) . 01:50, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Please sign your comments by typing four tildes (~~~~) or clicking the "your signature with timestamp" button above the editing window. Grain of Salt 02:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Answer me this question, how is reviewing WADs as something that is notable? I'm assuming that the anonymous ip that voted for objection is you unless I'm mistaken? To answer that objection, why should having a couple thousand subscribers that like Aquarius as a good reason to keep this page? Katamori is another member of the Doom community that has much more subscribers than this guy, yet he doesn't get a page. Justice ∞ 02:30, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
It is notable because he works hard at it and is very good at it. If you want a wiki page for Katamori why don't you go make one? Canofbacon 01:56, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
So because he works hard at making reviews is somehow notable reason as to why the admins should keep the article? The reason why I'm not making a page for Katamori is because just like Aquarius, he's done nothing notable within the Doom community unless I'm somehow mistaken when it comes to his contributions. Plus I don't see how having thousands of subscribers should be something noteworthy. It is advised, however that you read the Criteria for people articles to see if he actually qualifies for an article, because I'm pretty sure that doing WAD reviews isn't something that's noteworthy to the community. Justice ∞ 19:15, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
"The person being written up should have done something notable." He makes WADs and he has a large fanbase. That's hard to achieve. "The article should be about their contributions to the Doom community." It is. "List the person's achievements" I did. "Include a link to their website and/or released projects in an "External links" section at the end of the article." Yup. Canofbacon 7:36, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with the non-notability comments. Unless he has something more significant in his portfolio, this is just trivia around some guy that happens to play Doom. --Chungy (talk) 08:03, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
  • This is extremely difficult. How many mods does someone need to produce before they are notable? Our policy is unclear and half-hearted and is resulting in these years-long arguments.

Also, looking into the article history, I become very confused. User:Canofbacon originally created the article. I'm not seeing evidence that he did this in bad faith or self-interest, but feel free to prove otherwise. Then User:Justice Infinity took the opportunity to point himself out as a subject, adding words like "infamous" in front of "Doomguy2000".

Justice ∞ (talk) 06:28, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
You're correct so I apologize for the accusation. I misread the history. --Quasar (talk) 17:47, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Brilliant. My opinion is that I have no opinion. --Eris Falling (talk) 17:49, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Didn't mean to single you out as though to suggest what your opinion on the VfD would be, just that you were a contributing editor to the article. I feel the point that this guy does have a number of released mods is being missed though. He's not just a YouTube reviewer and the arguments above seem to be entirely assuming that. --Quasar (talk) 18:11, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps a better question then would be if these mods themselves are notable. Given there wasn't a page for Tormentor667 of all people until about an hour ago, I'm a bit sceptical. Don't take this as a delete vote though. --Eris Falling (talk) 18:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
That doesn't make him non-notable, it just means no one got around to starting the article.  :>   Not all COMPET-N maps have articles, for instance.    Ryan W (talk) 00:19, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
From my POV the argument of "X is important and has no article, so Y isn't justified in existing" isn't so much an argument that favors deletion of Y, but prioritization of efforts on X. There's no reason in such a case we shouldn't create article X, but that has no bearing ultimately on the existence of article Y. Just means we have some persistent stubborn blind spots in our coverage. --Quasar (talk) 00:59, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
  • I've always wonder if Aquarius just reviewing wads is good enough for nobility, then again he does make appearances in other Terrywads and probably has an influence on that genre of WADs. Like I said before, none of his wads alone make him notable, just him mostly reviewing Terrywads. Am I allowed to change my vote or do I still have keep my vote for deletion? Justice ∞ (talk) 06:28, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
No, you can change it.  Might help to strike out the word "delete" in your other post however.    Ryan W (talk) 12:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete. Reviewing WADs on YouTube is not being notable, having posted three crappy WADs online is not being notable either. --Kyano (talk) 11:59, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
In your opinion. Our policy is not anywhere clear that "only posting three WADs" doesn't equal notability. If that's what we want it to say, then get on over to Doom Wiki talk:Criteria for people articles and say so, please. --Quasar (talk) 17:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
Of course it's in my opinion. VfDs are for posting opinions. If we had a clear policy on that matter we would need no VfD (or at least not a VfD as large and intense as this one). And I did not say anything about that criteria because I think having a policy on what's notable or not does not work and it's better to have people create new articles and then VfD them if necessary. But that would work better if VfD actually were paid attention to. --Kyano (talk) 18:14, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
So a new editor would have to pick through 100 old VfDs to try to guess the standard?  Or perhaps create a dozen stubs of varying quality to see which were deleted, and hope they didn't get blocked in the process so they could keep contributing?  Come on.    Ryan W (talk) 02:35, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'd argue that Illuminatus, at least, is a notable enough work (i.e., it's a real work by the author, and although being generally considered as being mediocre, it shows a honest attempt at trying to make a good mapset rather than a quick trollwad or crapwad; it has been published on idgames and received /newstuff chronicles reviews here and there and an ongoing 5+ page project thread). By being the author of a notable enough work, Cory becomes also a notable enough author. The YouTube reviews are more anecdotal as far as I'm concerned, but since he's notable enough to get a page, and they are Doom-related, then they deserve a mention on said page.
