While stumbling around on wikipedia, I was surprised to find that Elveron has a page. But of course it has been tagged:
Wikipedia wrote:
This article may not meet the notability guideline for web content. If you are familiar with the subject matter, please expand or rewrite the article to establish its notability. The best way to address this concern is to reference published, third-party sources about the subject. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for redirection, merge or ultimately deletion, per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion.
This article has been tagged since April 2007.

Anyone have any Ideas on how to bring this page up to Wikipedias standard?

a wiki entry is nice :)

but as it said, references ...

the best way to keep the wiki entry is to simply update the page. Add references for elveron to 3rd party sites. I don't know if such sites exist any more tho, legendscompendium used to exist, but I just saw that one has been snagged by a domain hijacker :\

Perhaps we could include some links to some of the sites we have voted on.

why?

please don't put irrellevant crap into wikipedia. the articles aren't auto deleted anyway, humans look at them first, and putting irrelevant links in there won't help.

We need to establish notability in the sense that the website has been noticed by other websites. It isn't enough to provide links to this website. We need to provide links to other sites. And the fact that this game won the game of the month last month is worthy of being included. If we could win the game of the month for another site, then we could include that as well.

Unless this game becomes more newsworthy in other websites, I doubt that the article will be allowed to stay once an editor finally gets a look at it. At this point, it really is not much more than advertisement.

Well, just linking to a voting site won't do much good. Maybe link to elverons description page at mpogd.com for example is better.

When phpbb.com opens up their styles database we might add a few links to it as well.

For the record, linking to the specific pages that references Elveron was what I was suggesting the entire time and I thought that was implied. I wasn't suggesting we link to the main page at any time. That would have been stupid, thanks for insulting me.

You both said pretty much the same thing. Probably just a language barrier thing. No reason to get upset.

Sure, I guess we will go with this theory unless V chimes in otherwise.
