Wikipedia.org Polycount is being considered for deletion

ZacD

I made a little Wikipedia page for Polycount about two years ago, but just got a notice it's up for deletion. Does anyone want to help contrubte to make it a quality article? With the dozens of mentions on video game news sites, official contests with Dota2, League Of Legends, Chivalry, Darksiders 2, and Team Fortress 2, and the Green Tooth being an easter egg in over a dozen games, I think we're definitely "notable."

Derp! I thought that was the first thing I posted XD

I barely understand the Wikipedia formating system, had enough issues making the original article.

But that information is not in the article.

The article itself is quite short, looking at it from an outsider's perspective. Perhaps all of that information is best placed in a wiki article over here, where it's out of the reach of trigger-happy Wikipedia administrators?

If no one objects to the proposed deletion, I believe there's a 7 day period before it's removed:

That's why this thread was made? OP is asking the community to help him bring up the quality bar, because he's not familiar with Wikipedia's syntax and it's a gargantuan task anyway.

gave it a quick clean and added a bit

Thanks Marine, I added a bit more, I think it might be worth whilte to write a bit about the financial success for content creators after the TF2 contest.

The deletion proposal is still there, but a couple of administrators have manifested support for preserving the article, so it seems that it'll be kept.
