If we have to split, I'd actually suggest putting off-brand content on the Dart blaster Wiki. A name change could be requested to fix the uncapitalized "blaster" in the name. Having off-brand content be on Nerf Blaster Wiki wouldn't make sense, as its name clearly states "Nerf Blaster". As for DBE, the name/url is long and awkward; something simple like "Dart Blaster" shows clearly what the wiki disusses and is easy for people to get to.

I wouldn't consider it being in dead lock until there are more people supporting the split than being neutral/opposing it. This is what I was talking about above with no one member's choice is the final choice; you're acting like your stance is the one and only. Keep in mind that you're not staff here. The idea to promote you was just that: an idea. I understand that you want to get this idea underway, and that's great, but you're pushing it too fast and not letting any discussion happen. discussion is occurring on nerf wiki as its an active community; that was to counter anyone having the wild idea of wanting to close Nerf Wiki though GG already handled it so far on NBW. Nerf Wiki is pretty much out of the picture at this point unless anyone disagrees with that fact - kind of obvious.

you are not monitoring the situation fully. if you take a look at NBW's thread then you will understand. i see a deadlock forming on NBW, that's the problem. i'm not trying to push this to finish or promote my own stance, i'm trying to keep discussion going by bringing up other things (user promotions/defining off-brand) in the meantime to keep a deadlock from forming.

thank you for joining in on the discussion regarding if a split happens. i'm not pushing my stance, was only giving an update based off discussion from both this thread and the one that GG started on NBW.

"dart blaster" is logical but then if you leave one brand out for one wiki, that doesn't seem very logical. dart blaster is a term that covers all blasters capable of launching darts. in this case that would include nerf as well as non-nerf brands. using the term off-brand seems insulting, that's why i changed it. as for your complaint over DBE being long/awkward, most of the good names were already taken...

regarding the urgent request that i left you, not only did you ignore it; you have done this enough so claiming that you are not ignoring half my messages is pointless. you ignored half of my message even before i had both my profile/talk page locked, either way you and GG are still able to leave me messages... this discussion is quite important and again the change is only temporary so it would be appreciated if you could just leave it be. i even said that i would be willing to share more details but you didn't take that option.
 * if you didn't notice, Phase 1 was the start of controlled discussion. the reason why this is controlled is because last time when GG brought up "many nerf wikis", it simply turned into blatant argument/bashing rather than accomplishing anything. a targeted approach will probably get more done than letting discussion go wild.
 * GG may not be as familiar with admin tools as either one of us but he at least responds to messages after he completes requests and or other urgent matters. he is also helping out a lot more in negotiations compared to you, i'm still trying to move discussion along by bringing up targeted questions, which is what we are trying to get done here.
