Talk:Doomed (Flash)

Modest suggestion

An external link would be a really good idea, juuust in case only a handful of people have even heard of this.  Googling "doomed" + "flash" easily turns up five or six things which might well be a Doom game.  Unfortunately I can't play any of them because the Linux version of Flash is pretty screwed up, so I have to ask that someone else finish the job.    Ryan W 20:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

The grammar is very vulgar and poor and the page itself is a very short article providing little or no context.

Deletion

I'm tagging this for deletion - the subject of the page is off-scope. Based on the early revisions, I'm suspecting that the game was describing this, which bears no resemblance to Doom or any of it's derivatives. --Sigma 7 23:12, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

• The game has nothing to do with the Doom franchise. Delete. 82.181.94.185 19:14, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

If it's not Doom or anything close to it, it shouldn't be here. I say delete it. GhostlyDeath 06:02, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion (again)

According to the author's own website, this game is "Smash TV crossed with Gauntlet and Berserk." After playing a bit of it, there is definitely nothing Doom-related here aside from passing similarity in a couple of weapons (rockets and plasma), which are just sci-fi/shooter staples and neither invented by nor unique to Doom at any point. This meets no qualifiers for a page here, and I additionally suggest that it be protected from re-creation if we have a method for doing that. --Quasar (talk) 18:53, 11 August 2017 (CDT)

I don't understand why a vote is even necessary to remove this page... Isn't there a "speedy deletion" procedure? --83.46.149.98 19:05, 11 August 2017 (CDT)

We have both of those, but I fail to see how two threads in 8 years is an emergency requiring either.  Someone probably saw the red link and inferred an article was welcome.  Given that this version was three hours old when tagged, I assume the user might still be nearby, and therefore   ▪ Reserve judgement   until they have a chance to provide any supporting information.

Memory is hazy, but I believe we had been concerned about mistaken identity even before the original article.  Everyone and their mewtwo made a Flash game in the early 2000s, after all, so a bunch of them were probably Doom ripoffs.  Sadly we'll likely never hear about them except through passing anecdotal reference, as occurred here.    Ryan W (living fossil) 22:01, 11 August 2017 (CDT)
