- Delete, Bad dic def which explains the obvious. - Mgm|(talk) 13:07, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete I am totally ungrabbed by this. Alf 19:01, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy. Seems to be a recreation of "E-gameshow" which was up on VfD before. Sdedeo 20:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Do not Delete The only way people will FIND this page is if they explicitly search for "e-gameshow". This page adequately (if primatively) describes what an e-gameshow is and furnishes an example of one that isn't mired with popups, as well as provides a link to the usage of the term in a news article. The definition of an "e-gameshow" is no more obvious than the definition of "e-mail". If someone is asking themselves "what is an e-gameshow" and they search on Wikipedia and can't find an answer, isn't that basically censorship and data-flow constriction? More effort should be put into improving the entry, but deleting it would be a pointless gesture. 11:40, 25 August 2005 (Unsigned from 68.126.252.150 which is the IP address of the author of the article in question.)
- Do not delete the 3 arguements in favor of deleting it are "[it] explains the obvious", "I am ungrabbed by this", and it "seems to be a recreation of something else". The the definition is NOT any more obvious than any other defintion. 2) the wikipedia does not exist in order to "grab" people. 3) It's a word that has been used in multiple locations. 4) can you confirm that it is a recreation of the thing you mentioned before, or is this just wild speculation? I agree that it should be improved, not deleted. Wikipedia exists to expand knowledge, not limit it based on popular opinion. 1:56, 27 August 2005.
