[edit] Gaming World
This article was brought to VfD previously (January 2005), where the discussion was closed as reaching no consensus. After almost two years, the article appears to have changed very little, other than to accumulate a bunch of unverifiable trivia. Essentially, the article's subject seems, to me, to be a non-notable website for amateur game developers. There are no internal links to the article from other articles, which makes me doubt the article is necessary.
Sorting through Google results for the phrase "Gaming World" shows no dominance of the site in the usage of the term. Even the first page of hits is a random assortment of sites calling themselves "Console Gaming World" or something similar.
With no references from reliable third-party sources, the entire article qualifies as original research. There's been plenty of time for this article to establish the notability of this subject and provide sources for the claims made in the article. I believe the fact that it has not shows that the article cannot comply with Wikipedia's policies due to the nature of its subject, and therefore should be deleted. --Slowking Man 15:04, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
