Oh, we shouldn't worry that there's a hole in Wikipedia MUD coverage where Threshold used to be -- from the AfD: - *KEEP*. Read all other MUDs in category, Threshold is definitely most notable of them all with the most independent press coverage. [...] - *Comment* WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS>, for one; we'll get to deleting those other MUD articles in due time, if it's merited. [...] I don't know know about any of you, but when the first thing on the closing admin's talk page is "I have deleted over 1,700 pages on Wikipedia, through C:CSD <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C:CSD> and WP:AFD<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AFD>. A very small percentage of that, 2-3%, have been listed at deletion review<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DRV>, and only a handful have been overturned -- and not a single one has been because of "corruption" or bad faith<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AGF>.", I get a really bad feeling.
