Watopia is a virtual island in a non-notable piece of software. Should someone choose to write an article about the Zwift software, then perhaps mention could be made there about Watopia, but it certainly does not merit its own article.

• Delete per nom; no need to keep a reference-less orphan article about a "fictional environment in [an] existing place" that only exists itself within a somewhat obscure cycling trainer/game. If someone were to make an article about Zwift itself, then I support a redirect, but until then I see no need having this article at all. PCN02WPS 19:45, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per previous comment: the fact that Zwift is a red link is reason enough. Too many levels of non-notability has given me a headache ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 21:29, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Zwift has over 300,000 users so it's certainly notable, and Watopia is the main element of the system. Ideally a Zwift article should be created (it's about as obscure as the Tour de France) and this content merged in, but pending that, Watopia stays. Dan100 (Talk) 15:17, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for now, or ideally hold fire until someone recreates Zwift, as I'm sure they will before too long, so its content can be WP:SMERGEd there. There's already a Draft:Zwift page which only needs a bit of editing and more references, which are straightforward to find, e.g. Gizmodo, Bloomberg, Denver Post, Daily Telegraph and (more than a little ironically) Outside magazine. I'd do it myself but I don't have time just at the moment. Qwfp (talk) 14:04, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
