Talk:Demon Dice

Untitled

This page is encyclopedic. I am not affiliated with the creators of either version of the game, and the game is no longer being produced anyway. I do not have references because I would not know where to find them. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia should contain some information on every subject, so while I'm aware that the policy is "no original research", I would content that it should be (and in many cases that I have seen already is) "original research only where verifiable references are unavailable to trump it". Better to have the topic referenced incompletely than not at all; a red link does nobody any good.

(Furthermore, when a less-than-tech-savvy individual like myself adds an article on an obscure topic s/he happens to know about, and the page is deleted because there weren't any references on it, it gives that individual the impression that s/he needn't have bothered, and creates a negative view of Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia depends entirely on the volunteer community for its operation, it should avoid being so off-putting. Deleting trivia articles that few people see because they might not be 100% accurate/impartial/etc. does more harm than good; such tactics are necessary in certain cases, politicians and historical controversies and such, but for a pop-culture reference, the volume of information which is required and the relatively low quality necessary in that content for it to be useful indicate that strict deletion standards are not required.)
