Okay, so our Wikipedia entry was deleted again, this time for not meeting the Wikipedia Notability requirements (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:N). Before someone goes and posts a new entry, we should take a serious look at meeting this requirement.
I found out today that are game is being cited as Digital Paintball 2.0 on most sites. This isn't shocking news, but I wasn't searching for "Digital Paint 2.0" when trying to defend the marked for deletion.
Here is what I found:

PC Gaming in Greece had packaged this game into their packaged DVD sometime in 2006.

A dozen game reviews from very popular paintball review site, PB Review.

PlanetQuake Mod of the Week articles.
Please post anything you've found on here. Also, can someone provide more details about the show that aired in Germany with PB2 on it. Looking around at some of these sites I've come across, this game looks terrible. A perfect example is a POTW (http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=POTD.Detail&id=3280) on PQ this year for B19, that shows a pretty boring screenshot that is using the ancient HUD, so who knows how old that screenshot really is. The PBReview and a handful of non-english download sites are using a screenshot of [DsC]Cy with a rediculous hudscale and garbage taking up most of the screen. That pic is ancient as well. Most sites are branding this game as "Digital Paintball 2.0" which causes confusion with HL's DPB (this is mainly KuJa/whoever's fault for picking that name though).

That's an auomtated sponsored link. If you click it, there are no listings because no one has sponsored pbreview to put a listing up for "Digital Paintball 2.0".

This kind of thing what we are looking for?
-
Those look fine, maybe not so much the msemelka.info and stopgame.ru links though.
-

Unfortunately, I can't find anything about it. Might be too long ago since that show was aired (Like mid '04'ish).
I don't think that an old German source will help that much. ;)
-
A TV appearance must help with notability though!
-
yep msemelka.info isnt help so much. Iam author of this article, article is write for czech users. Thx
-
It doesn't matter how much notability we have if the dedicated wikipedia editors/trolls haven't heard of us. :P

Haha, no kidding. I didn't realize how bad it was until I started looking into people's accounts who supported this delete. It's too bad that they have to dump on a nice little open source project because the game isn't being publicized the way it should be.

The biggest thing that bothers me about Paintball 2.0 not being notable... is that this stuff is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenArena.

How does that even make sense.

Is there something wrong with my grammar or are you agreeing that our mod is just as much if not more notable?
-
I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

Sorry y00tz, but I can't understand a word you're saying :D

I designed their logo. ;D
-
Then can we use that to link to openarena?
-

Paintball2 was deemed to be not notable enough to deserve a spot on the great Wikipedia, and what bothers me about it is that other open-source shooters ARE notable enough.
-
I'm not sure if you're just joking with me now or what -.-
-
:o One of the suggestions it gives me when I type in Digital Paintball is Digital Paintball 2.0 sometimes it doesn't even give me suggestions for common words.
Some sites.....

What exactly are we trying to do here? Are we trying to bring more people to DP or what?
-
We're trying to fight the wikipedia-machine. XD I seriously have very little idea what's going on here...
I know that the article was deleted, and that's complete bull-crap since there are less important things on WP... That's about ALL I know. It's odd to see the article deleted, seeing as how Wikipedia is what directed me to the DP website to begin with. So sad.
-
since there are less important things on WP...
But not as notable!! :D
-
Are we trying to bring more people to DP or what?
We are trying to have some info about a Paintball game that everyone can find easily if they are looking for it. I don't think putting info about this game is solely advertisment in the business-ish way. Speaking of me as example: I always was a fan of the whole "paintball-idea". I'd have loved to know about this game at any time, also because it's for free. I only got very lucky that a friend of mine told me about this. Elsewise i'd have never known about this game.
-
But not as notable!! :D
Thats exactly what I said. There as less important (less notable) things [than DP] on WP..." Meaning just what you said. lol.
-
I meant that dp is not as notable :P
Important and notable are not equal!
-
XBain I'm assuming you're going to write one once you gather more stuff to put in so if there's anything I can help you with other then the actual writing of it I'd be glad to.
-
Please post anything you've found on here.
Help with that? :P Its a wiki, we can all write to it!
-
Ah, I see what you're saying, lekky. I agree, DP isn't exactly notable, but neither is ActionQuake, then. And last I checked, it had a wiki page.
-
Right, I'm gonna stop posting in here, no one understands me. The first one was a joke but you didn't get it, so I had to explain what I was intending then it didn't seem like a joke anymore :(
I AGREE with both y00tz and Fullmetal_Steeb (you f***ers)
-
Oh, so your saying DP IS notable? XD I'm confused as hell.
-
Sometimes sarcasm and the Internet don't mix.

Thats what <sarcasm> </sarcasm> is for. XD
