Wikipedia!

Something that's been bothering me lately is: Why is there no Wikipedia article for Flash Flash Revolution? Anybody who is knowledgeable about FFR can create one can't they?

Re: Wikipedia!

It has been done many many times but im not sure what happens to them.

Basically, FFR isn't notable enough.

Re: Wikipedia!

Even though other related articles are more notable, with fewer people going to them, or the websites they're about.

Re: Wikipedia!

Normally I'm all in favor of deleting things as non-notable, but at this one I hesitate. It's been active for at least four years now (I think; seems like I've been playing it at least that long) and has a million logins (not users, but whatever). 1400 people are currently playing. (I am just throwing out stats that I see on the site right now.) It does not meet the cited notability threshholds, but perhaps we should consider ignoring all rules?

That's pretty much all you need to read.

Wikipedia requires that most of the article is built on 3rd party sources rather than directly from what the article is about. The FFR article depended mostly on information directly from FFR, which made it appear non-notable.

Cite sources.

Re: Wikipedia!

I started on FFR, and have much of my beginnings to thank for it.
But now where I play is in the arcade. My friends, also arcade-goers, highly dislike FFR, because of zerged charts (High quantity, low quality), poor score systems, and mediocre sync. For higher-end players, these things make Stepmania vastly superior.

FFR will forever be known as "DDR on keyboard", even to the most basic of novices. I personally don't believe it's big enough to deserve its own page, in the grand scheme of things.

Edit: And FFR has less players than the 1.6mil the front page shows. Many of those are mutliple accounts belonging to one person, or the more common situation, someone who joined and quit, or barely plays at all.

The actual number of players would be significantly lower, I'd think.

Re: Wikipedia!

Basically, there was a butthurt guy we banned from the site who constantly started motions to get our wikipedia page removed. Somehow he was always successful.

It doesn't really matter anyway.
