  • Weak keep. I feel kind-of responsible for this one; another machinima was at AFD recently and somebody used the argument that we don't have an article about this film as a reason to delete it, and I suggested creating this one... Anyway. This film was screened and nominated for an award at the 2008 Machinima Filmfest[http://festival.machinima.org/wordpress/?page_id=97][http://festival.machinima.org/wordpress/?page_id=17] (which is a weakly-notable film festival: [http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/10/game-engines-dr.html][http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=20935][http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/65829-machinima-filmfest-2008/]), which suggests notability.

  • Delete. According to Wikipedia:Notability (web), it needs to have won the award, as opposed to simply being a nominee. I've googled [http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22War+of+The+Servers%22 "War of The Servers"] and found nothing of note (just trivial mentions, video sharing sites, forums and non-notable blogs). Of the two independent links in the article, The destructoid link is the only seemingly reliable source, but just borders on significant coverage (a few paragraphs). The Stupid Evil Bastard link is mostly a copy-paste of the blurb. And before someone brings it up, it is listed on the Jeff Wayne's TWOTW site under user-made content [http://www.thewaroftheworlds.com/user-content/default.aspx], but that's just a listing of many pieces of content.--Drat (Talk) 14:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep was nominated for Best Long Format Film and Best Direction in the 2008 Machinima Filmfest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bullfish111 (talk • contribs) 10:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Yes nominated. It didn't win the awards. And again, have any reliable sources, independent of the subject, written about it significantly?--Drat (Talk) 11:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete per Drat. The Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences article is currently where its sanctioned machinima film festivals are covered (although not very well, and 2008 isn't yet listed). Perhaps a brief blurb on War of the Servers would be appropriate in the context of the film festival there, when someone creates a section on it. Right now, there's not anything that could be directly merged without the section on the film festival itself. — TKD::Talk 11:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
