Is a game mod, not sure if its notable Tawker 20:20, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has well over 1100 regular players after only a few days of release, and it is not the first San Andreas mod to be included F3llah1n 20:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am against this article deletion, like f3llah1n said, this mod has well over 1000 regular players and over 180 servers, most popular 5 servers are 100% full at any time (100 players max on each server). Jernejl 20:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Counter Strike is a game mod, and it's on Wikipedia. I don't see anyone complaining about that. Camaro_d00d 20:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete non-notable. Tawker, it looks like there are sockpuppets and others who are going to infect this discussion. Also, Counter-Strike has been featured commercially as well as in Newsweek, so it's very notable. This isn't. M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 22:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If this article is classed as 'non-noteable' then there are lot more articles out there that should be deleted. F3llah1n 23:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment That goes without saying. There are a lot of articles that should be deleted. Doesn't mean this one should stay. Fan1967 00:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Does not deserved to be deleted. Like the others said. There are a lot of players that play this mod. Just because its not commercialized doesn't mean it has to be taken away and preventing this mod to be recognized for being fun and enjoyable. Drift 17:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep multiplayer mod for a hugely popular single-player game. Of course it's notable.  Grue  14:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment No one's disputing the notability of the game. The notability of the mod is what's in question. Fan1967 18:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• When there is a very popular game without multiplayer mode and someone makes a multiplayer mod for it, what do you expect it to be? A complete flop?  Grue  18:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to San Andreas and mark as {{R with possibilities}}. Stifle (talk) 15:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• The article is well written, and the mod is a success, consider it has spawned a game server hosting business (http://www.gta-host.com/) and was also featured on popular websites such as DIGG (http://digg.com/search?search=San+Andreas+Multiplayer&submit=Submit , http://digg.com/gaming/San_Andreas_Multiplayer_(SA:MP)_Released).

  A similar mod is already on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_Theft_Auto but is not even released, and what is released of it is very low quality compared to sa:mp. why isnt that article considered for deletion as well? Jernejl 18:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that versions of MTA were already released for GTA III and GTA:VC. It was actually the first mod to introduce online play into such GTA games. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 08:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

• To add on to what Jernejl had to say, the last time I checked SA-MP had well over 1000 people playing, where as MTA had about 130 (according to what ASE had to say). Given this, I don't think the notability of this mod is in question at all. Oneforaru 19:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'd just like to add that it is featured on Game-Monitor.com which is a relatively large and popular site showing servers for multiplayer games, and also features retail games such as BF2. Mikechml 22:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: Only three edits on May 16: Two in present page and one San Andreas Multiplayer article. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 08:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

• Keep, per justifications by Stifle, Oneforaru and Mikechml. Though I have never played the mod in question, the popularity and notability of the mod clearly merits its own article. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 08:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

• san andreas now leads the toplist with 5 most popular servers on http://game-monitor.com/.

if that isnt proof of popularity and notability then i dont know what crack you are smoking. Jernejl 15:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, well-known multiplayer mod for one of the most known game in video game industry. (yes, this is POV ;)) Hołek ҉ 10:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I feel this specific page should either be deleted or moved to "SA-MP" as this page is misleading, as there are multiple San Andreas Multiplayer modifications available. If it is moved this page could be listed to link to every "San Andreas Multiplayer" which would make more sense.

• Keep 640,000 Google hits is notable enough. Noclip 11:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
