[edit] Gamersdaily

ThreeAnswers: By this criteria, half of the articles you've written would be "non-notable". MC Mong, the Korean hip-hop artist you wrote about ranks 425,000 on Alexa. Does that mean he's not worth mentioning? This article was just posted, give it some time to develop.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.35.26.78 (talk • contribs) 07:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC).

Of course, Gamersdaily is primarily a website, and MC Mong is primarily a person (or so I'm told). That means they fall under different notability guidelines (see WP:WEB and WP:BIO). It's the article's merit as an encyclopedic entry that is under examination, and the comparison to the nominator's edits seems irrelevant. — TheKMan^talk 08:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I cleaned up the article, but I'm still leaning towards delete because of the impression that this is podcruft. I would like to see definitive proof of userbase and awards (see citation tags in article) before I decide otherwise. — TheKMan^talk 08:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Visitor stats can be provided if needed to confirm the site gets 2000+ visitors. Also a check on iTunes own podcast directory would show that we're the highest ranked Independant gaming podcast. User:Thefold^talk

• Comment: I've just supplied screenshots of almost 9,000 people on the site at once, and of the iTunes 'Top 100' podcasts, showing GamersDaily ahead of Ziff-Davis's "1Up.com" show and Kevin Rose's "Systm" show. The only gaming-related shows ahead of GamersDaily are "G4/TechTV Videocast" and the "PC Gamer Official Podcast," both of which are run by multi-million-dollar corporations. That is quite an accomplishment -- I don't see how this can be considered podcruft.

• Comment: if this is non-notable, then there is no notable independent videogame podcast?

• Comment: all you people who are saying delete probably all got paid to say it. not notable my ass. why dont you all just shut up and listen to the podcast. after all theres a godamn link on the bottom of the article. and look at it this way, if it werent notable, GamersDaily wouldnt exist right now! And about the "Podcruft" remark, They put up the pictures of Gamersdaily having 8000+ people on the site and them being on itunes' top 100.

The point to this comment: Leave GamersDaily alone, they didnt hurt anyone, "They come in peace".

• Comment: Wasnt the out come a draw? 3 keep 3 delete or can i not count properly?--Slogankid 11:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
