This article should not be deleted for one reason - the same reason Wikipedia is here. Its a website, with 2,000,000 users, who might want to know more. So it is considered Encyclopedic Content Which is why we have Wikipedia in the first place!!!! USADude 19:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This was originally deleted because there were no reliable sources. Corvus cornix 19:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I put up the new version, that I had backed up on my comp. there was the original site as a source... <sarcasm>Not a very reliable source, now is it...</sarcasm> USADude 21:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a large number of additional sources to the description of the site - and will work with USADude to keep the entry updated. things are moving fast in the virtual world space.

I happen to have noticed that Whyville has has a sudden population increase. More people will probably come to Whyville if this remains in article :D. By the way, How did you ever come across this article over all of the others?

I was reviewing WP:DRV, where the previous incarnation had been upheld as keep deleted, but there was a blue link, indicating that it had been recreated anyway. Corvus cornix 20:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has some serious tone issues: too much emphasis on what "you" can do on the site as opposed to what the site offers "its users" for example. Another problem is the unsourced commentary: "Perhaps Whyville could release a used Scion business sometime?" Perhaps, but this sort of speculation and/or wishful thinking is not appropriate encyclopedic material. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lets not get into encyclopedic content issues again... USADude 18:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: Fixed, now i'm taking off the tag.

It seems Numedeon has made a couple edits to "clean its image" Comments2010 (talk) 02:54, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
