This page should not be speedily deleted because this site is not only still very active it is constantly verifying and expanding on its content.--

The request for deletion is part of an aggressive campaign motivated by personal conflict, as is the demand that notability is established. As The Vault was already covered in mainstream gaming press due to its extensive nature and release of numerous materials obtained by the editors from inside source, the notability is well established.
The identity of the person responsible for the tag is
Eden2012, who has deliberately and maliciously tried to abuse Wikipedia's Deletion policies to remove this. This is yet another example of harassment The Vault has endured at the keyboard of said user. I don't believe that a challenge to the notability or the very presence of the article borne out of personal spite can be sustained, due to the agenda of the person who puts forward this challenge.
Not going to be deleted, I suspect the speedy tag was placed in bad faith. There are plenty of sources and coverage here, according to a past AfD it's notable. Яehevkor✉19:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)reply
Independent Fallout Wiki
Should this page's scope include the Independent Fallout Wiki? If not, then should we discuss this subject in the past tense (due to
abandonment)? I can't figure out what the scope of this page should be. –MJL‐Talk‐☖19:10, 7 November 2023 (UTC)reply
Requested move 29 November 2023

move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The main page
[1] still says "Fallout Wiki" in the main page title. I'd have thought the sourcing still supports that name too, so I think this is far from uncontroversial. Cheers —

There are two Fallout wikis now: one called Nukapedia, the Fallout Wiki, and then an Independent Fallout Wiki. Given the two share similar names, I think Fallout Wiki should serve as a disam page, so as not to confuse people. That, or mentioning both wikis on the same page. Cheers!

@
Amakuru: The nom has a valid point since subtopics/subpages of
Fandom (website) can be confusing to figure out/name in general. That, and usually, these topics do not pass
WP:GNG, but this article has survived multiple
WP:AFDs. Figure if we are gonna name this thing, might as well get it right. (I'm "neutral" though.)

Just to reiterate, there's two "Fallout Wiki"'s now; the one on Fandom at fallout.fandom.com called "Nukapedia, the Fallout Wiki," and the one at fallout.wiki called the "Independent Fallout Wiki." I suggest either having information for both on the same page in an objective manner, or moving this page to "Nukapedia" and changing "Fallout Wiki" to a disam page to allow room for a page for the "Independent Fallout Wiki." However, as outlined above, I don't think either places actually pass the notability guidelines. That's a matter I'd rather leave to staff though. — Preceding

@
C0NN1E Beep: This article seems to refer to the topic you call "Nukepedia, the Fallout Wiki". The other topic, "Independent Fallout Wiki", does not seem to exist on Wikipedia and probably should not, meaning a disambiguation page would be pointless since only one applicable page exists on Wikipedia. The question here ... in this discussion ... is if the appropriate name for this article is "Nukapedia" or "Fallout Wiki", which is what this discussion is meant to determine.

Support The recent Kotaku articles about it do refer to it as "Nukapedia", establishing that it is the common name for it.
