Talk:Derelict

I'm nominating this for deletion in accordance with the notability guidelines. It is not notable because it has not yet been released. Fraggle 00:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I think it's unclear whether "released" has to mean "released in putatively final form": see here and here. Also, AFAICT, a substantial number of WADs are released as "betas" and then never updated because some RL consideration prevents the author from finishing it, yet they remain in the archive, so theoretically we can have articles about them.

 * Delete, when and if it gets finished we can create another article. oTHErONE (Contribs) 07:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't see how this needs to be deleted because there are betas out, and I will post links to where they can be downloaded. 2b is coming out soon because I know this and I am WartornCove. Another thing, please re-read next time. It perfectly states that there are betas out. 2b isn't even finished yet, that's the only build that's not released.User:WartornCove User Talk:WartornCove 13:57, 8 May 2007 (GMT)


 * Beta versions are not a proper release. Fraggle 22:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean by this, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus about it yet. Aren't Odamex, Omgifol, and WinDEU considered betas?    Ryan W 22:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * A point of contention here is that those programs are mostly feature-complete, usable utilities/etc. that can be put to good use. A beta of a PWAD is arguably none of those things - it's incomplete, doesn't offer the full experience, etc. Bloodshedder 02:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that depends on the designer's standards for when a WAD is ready for full playtesting, but that's another issue. :>   If you're just talking about feature-completeness, however, shouldn't we also delete Doom Arcade and EarthBound Doom?    Ryan W 16:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, you can delete this article if you want. I don't care anymore. I'm still archiving and maintaining it though, but these maps are gonna be a pain because I'm the only one even doing the entire thing. I'll just wait until it's released, then maybe I'll post an article about it. User:WartornCove 19:55, 9 May 2007 (GMT)
