Vote summaries on AfDs
[edit]Hi Joel. Please stop creating your "vote summaries" on AfD discussions. These have numerous problems. First they are hard to maintain (are you going to be there 24/7 to update them? If not they quickly become misleading). Much more importantly they give people the impression that it is the number of opinions containing a particular words that determines the outcome of the discussion. This is not the case and it is disruptive to suggest otherwise. Please stop doing this. Thanks, Gwernol 05:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
AfD
[edit]Regarding GuildCafe, you should also search for the word "SparkForge" (the previous name of the company) in which case you'll turn up additional mentions on sites like Gamespot (which you said you couldn't find). Unfortunately the namechange is part of what has muddied the discussion regarding GuildCafe ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GuildCafe_%282nd_nomination%29 ).
