[edit] GameArena

GameArena (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

{{{text}}} the mutilating of this thread was in responce to a thread on the concerned website after the article went up for deletion its quality greatly improved (eg all insulting content removed) and i think it no longer needs to be removed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.228.171.52 (talk • contribs) 07:14, 7 April 2007 GMT

Agreed, it no longer needs to be removed. Quality has been increased greatly and what was mucking around has now been weeded out.

+1 for leaving it

Still though, It is a vanity article and has little notability and should be removed. Nightwolf 07:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

+1 for leaving it. it's not offensive, it is informative (even if it isn;t "encyclopedian"). and it's a good thing for the community. what it comes down to is: why delete it? [-Varni]

yeah, leave it, the stupid stuff is gone, and it's informative. [-dman]

Vote to keep. Things have settled down and mature minded individuals from the site in question will continue to monitor the article for vandalism. - laz

Keep As Laz said, things should have settled down by now.203.214.92.220 08:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment This AfD was never logged. I'm about to log it in today's logs. --ais523 10:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete I would be very willing to keep it, but there are no independent sources at all. If it is this important, I would expect it to be mentioned in some reasonably reliable source. DGG 00:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete per DGG; it may be a very notable service, but there are no sources at all. --Tinctorius 09:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, but the sourcing is still very poor. Again, GameArena may be very notable, but the lack of good sources still annoys me. --Tinctorius 21:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as above. Source it or lose it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, unfortunately I couldn't find any sources for this site, via google or gamesindustry.biz. Happy to change mind if some sources appear. QuagmireDog 06:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as GameArena is one of the primary gaming server providers in Australia. Virtually no Australian gamer has not played on (or cursed at) a GameArena server. I'm sure finding sources would be very easy as it is a notable "organisation" (ie. subsiduary of Telstra), however it's just a matter of adding them. SMC 06:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I've sourced a fair few areas of this article. Please take a look. SMC 07:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep Sources present aren't strong, but considering that it's both a news site and a gaming server host (biggest in Australia apparently) and that it is being mentioned, I believe it should stay. QuagmireDog 13:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Changes made by User:SMC should address the concern of the delete !voters above, the article is currently properly sourced. The GameArena Ladder system is apparently the largest computer games competition in Australia. Not bad. PeaceNT 15:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
