Re: In defense of all MUDs. Our genre's noteworthiness is being questioned.

I can't see the deletion thread now, obviously, but weren't the articles on the order of kind of "throw-away" mentions? A paragraph or something? Didn't the Wikipedia editors claim those kind of in-passing references don't really matter? I'm not espousing one viewpoint or the other, just curious. I think either the Aetolia or Imperian pages on Wikipedia were deleted at one point and I never had any idea why. Lusternia and Achaea are still there, but frankly, judging by Lusternia's entry, I wouldn't be surprised to see it removed for the same reasons as Threshold.


That'd be a very tough argument to make as there are MUDs that even the Wikipedia editors acting in bad faith would have a tough time arguing don't meet Wikipedia's rules for inclusion.
