Not notable. Searched for independent reliable sources and found none. Just UGC and SELFSOURCE. The buzzfile source only demonstrates that the company exists, but does nothing for notability. Leijurv (talk) 19:57, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Here's a YouTube video of the founders at Minecraft's signature game convention, Minecon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg-Q5Oyiyoo). It was the first Minecraft network to exist and holds huge historical significance. Hypixel has a wiki article which is very similar to Shotbow. //NPCtom — Preceding unsigned comment added by NPCtom (talk • contribs) 20:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Delete Fails WP:GNG. The only hits I could find of significance related to a 2014 change to Minecraft's EULA, where the server owner was quoted in a small handful of articles about monetization changes. No indepth coverage found of the server beyond those passing mentions. -- ferret (talk) 20:09, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

::Here are the four June 2014 articles that mention Shotbow: [https://kotaku.com/why-people-are-mad-about-minecrafts-new-changes-1592190004 1] [https://www.pcgamer.com/why-minecrafts-new-eula-is-good-for-the-community/ 2] [https://www.polygon.com/2014/6/18/5819274/mojang-multiplayer-servers 3] [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/24/minecraft-how-a-change-to-the-rules-is-tearing-the-community-apart 4]. All are trivial mentions of the Shotbow server, and they are all quoting the same event. There is also another passing mention [https://kotaku.com/the-uncertain-future-of-minecrafts-independent-servers-1790360981 here] in which Shotbow was again quoted speaking out against Mojang EULA enforcement. None of these are in depth coverage of the server though. Leijurv (talk) 20:16, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Delete I also searched on Google Books and don't see significant coverage other than single paragraphs. Zakaria1978 (talk) 03:02, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
