(I don't see the reason to highlight this so congrats if u read this)

Yes, clan pages have been removed for a varying amount of reasons. Clan Pages were like Guard Panthers and R2D Avengers pages that barely anyone actually looked at unless you were bored and started clicking random pages.

Here are (a few) reasons why clan pages were removed:


 * 1) They had no value on this wiki
 * 2) *All they had were an infobox, some summary and a picture. To be more informative, they would need more pages. However, this would lead to some clans needing around 50 pages, while some needing 5, skewing demographics and introducing bias.
 * 3) They are pretty much irrelevant.
 * 4) *Player Points leaderboards have been removed. Outside of Battlestation there is no emphasis on clans.
 * 5) They are a target of hate.
 * 6) *Looking at the comment page would reveal that 60-90% of comments go along the lines of "ew" to "go commit die". These pages are just a source of hate.
 * 7) It's biased.
 * 8) *Even with my solutions, I found it hard to regulate. Some clans with 900 members couldn't get a page, while a clan of 5 clan members could.
 * 9) They got barely any visits.
 * 10) *Looking at stats for the pages, the most popular page got 93 views IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS. That is a puny 3.08 visits a day. And that was the anomaly. The Clan hubpage got 94 views, pitiful for an index page. The next most popular page got 43 views IN 4 WEEKS. Just about one a day. These pages have less views then the new galleries pages I've put up. And they have been around for about 3 days. On average, clan pages got 20-30 views a month. They rank on the same popularity on the irrelevancy of redirects and the Intermission page.
 * 11) Most important of all, this is a generalised wikipedia.
 * 12) *If these clans want detailed information, this isn't the place. This wiki is meant to detail features of R2DA (with exceptions). Why the hell these pages were created, I have no clue what I was doing.
