Wikipedia needs to give NC the respect it deserves. Jay himself has said that half the claims given by the deletionists are lies (but he'll respect the decision). Many of their arguments are personal attacks on NC as well. Now tell me if THOSE are reasons to delete it.
Deleting the article would be an insult to Sean, myself, and just about a crapload of others who helped to create it. And that would piss me off.
Now, I don't take myself seriously at all. I do, however, take two things seriously:
1. What I do
2. What I believe in.
BM and Raven guy: If you were to publish a paper and put it on the internet, a bunch of people used it as a source of info, you gained a following, and you wanted to reference that paper somewhere on Wikipedia, and the deletionists said it was created by some nobody and wanted to delete it, how would it make you feel? I feel the same way. -CSM |
what is 1UP.com? and even so, I've already stated that it being the first sprite comic is totally irrelevant. It's apparent that you didn't read what I said.
NC doesn't deserve any respect just because you say it does. What has it done to earn respect? I'll play Devil's Advocate here and say NC was the first sprite comic. But it wasn't the Beatles of sprite comics; it didn't innovate or inspire others to do it. It didn't create a huge buzz. It didn't mean that Dave Anez would never have done Bob and George. Etc, etc etc.
Tons of articles get deleted. I am sure there have been FAR more important Wiki articles that have been deleted than this one. The NC one most definitely won't be missed. Well, except for the 5 to 6 people who are clinging to this as if it was the end-all-be-all of articles. The fact that you would get pissed off over such a deletion only further supports the fact that the only people who legitimately give a rat's ass is diehard fanboys.
Where is this following that is rallying to save NC from Wiki-deletion? Oh wait, there's not one! Who uses NC as "a source of info"? There's no information on there that would be of use to anybody at any given time. But let's say I did make such an article, that had a following and was a useful source of info. I would be upset, if it was something that would be worthwhile. A synopsis, character guide, or whatever of a SPRITE COMIC is not exactly a source of info that lots of people could use for practical purposes.
Seriously, just get over the fact that NC won't be on Wikipedia anymore. I swear, you're getting all emo over something completely unimportant. I only hope you'd act this distraught when something REAL bad happens.
