[edit] Gamerandy.com

Gaming website which was started last year and seems wholly non-notable with an alexa rank of ~500,000. The claim to notability here is that they have a weekly podcast, which really doesn't cut it per WP:WEB. In addition, the article reads like an advertisement, is unwikified and a dead-end article. - Bobet 11:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Well actually they are well known by some of the top tiers in the gaming industry. You cant go higher than major nelson and yet they seem to be best friends with him. Also this is not an advertisment but merely the posting of the current and past state of gamerandy. Tell me what other pages dont seem like advertisement. I see entertainers who have their website link displayed yet they stay up. I read the Terms and I assure you we arent advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyeman64 (talk • contribs)

• I would also like to weigh in. I find this strange that I get notified for advertising, when VGN Radio is filled with advertising and doesn't contain an NPOV in a lot of what it says, especially with the last sentence in the Synopsis, and that one doesn't get any notices. There are numerous other too. I don't mean for this to sound like some childish "well if he can do it, why can't I?" type of thing. If I can't do it, then I accept it, but I feel that it would be a tad unbalanced and unfair to do it for one article and not for another. I don't mean this to sound like I'm attacking Wikipedia, but I don't understand why this site has different ways of dealing with articles for committing the same offense. The notability thing I'm working on, so don't delete it. I and other Wikipedians have been working on that. Just be sure not to delete it and I swear that I will try my hardest to bring it up to Wikipedian standards. I'm trying my best here. Tyeman64 is right about the notibility. Scoring an interview with Major Nelson is a noteworthy thing. He's also right about another thing. What on Wikipedia isn't advertising? I see links to celebrity web pages and even porn sites on Wikipedia, but that isn't advertising? I fail to see how the Gamerandy.com entry is any worse than those. I and other Wiki people will try our best to bring this article up to proper standards, but please do not delete. Just give me a chance. Vgamer101 04:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • If you feel something else should be deleted, nothing stops you from nominating it yourself as long as you're not doing it just to prove a point (the relevant information on how to list something for deletion is at Wikipedia:Guide to deletion). On this discussion, the 'someone else does it so why can't i' thing doesn't really work, as you correctly identified; articles are supposed to be judged on their own merits. - Bobet 20:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
    • True, I could do that, but I don't want to get trouble started and have someone get irritated at me. I'll just leave a comment in their discussion section telling them to fix it otherwise I won't have much choice but to nominate it for deletion. Anyways, I'm currently trying to drum up some support to build up the entry as you can already see in it's page history with others such as Tyeman64, GamerAndy Fan, and MrD86. I'll try my best to bring this article up to it's absolute best potential, I just am having trouble at the moment coming up with and collecting the right info, although I am doing well in trying to find it. I'm currently collecting info for it. I would like for this article to stay up so I can make it better. I'm hoping I can, but you'd need to keep the article up for me to do that.
