OfflineThe deletion was pure B.S.
We did have third-party sources and met the "notable" criteria. Also, there are paranormal magazines still on Wiki that are no different than Paranormal Underground. Politics I say!
Also, we had other Wiki pages linking to our page, including pages for the various Ghost Adventures Crew Members.
At one point before our permanent deletion from Wiki, there was a junior admin on Wiki who kept trying to recommend us for deletion unfairly, so much so that a senior admin from Wiki admonished him in the discussion area. Alas, the *** somehow won out in the end.
The kid that was assigned as the article's editor was a total a-pipe. He was about 17 or 18 and very self-important. When I went to his page he had warning after warning about being so arbitrary in his deletions. Seems like some kid on a power trip. I knew as soon as I read the other work he'd done on other pages that we didn't stand a chance.

OfflineY'know what else? One of our third party sources was the Travel Channel, who also linked to us in their Wikipedia page for a podcast we did with Zak Bagans. Wikipedia is pretty much politics, as far as I can tell.
Oh, and don't forget that we linked to our coverage on About.com, a very notable Website.

People can be such wankers sometimes.

With all the politics seems to be not worth the aggravation.
That guy that donated millions a few weeks ago to wiki, wonder if he knows exactly what he donated to.

I like that
OfflineYeah – it was a bit frustrating but what can you do? If we're not notable according to some 17 year-old acne prone dictator wannabe, then we're not notable.
According to that, anything that's not video game or Star Wars oriented isn't notable! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
I agree with the general sentiment….screw 'em!

OfflineNah, Whammies is just stating the obvious. Even if the shite don't smell, it can still make a mess of a good hiking boot! All in fun here!
Just making sure…lol /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />
Time to go scrap some of the 1/2 inch of ice off the sidewalk!
