[edit] Gaming Uncensored

Tagged for speedy but contested. And you just know that if it's speedied or prodded it will be contested and re-created. A podcast with no evidence of notability, produced by two people ditto. Looks to me like Vanispamcruftisement. Just zis Guy you know? 13:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom, if we have to go through the whole process for an insignificant blip on the blogosphere. The site has no Alexa rank, their alleged "weekly" podcast hasn't been updated in nearly two months, and there are 31 unique G-hits. RGTraynor 15:02, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete If you would check iTunes then you would see that the show has just released the 63 Episode (26. Arpil 2006). The iTunes music store has onece featured GamingUncensored in a GamingPodcast spotlight. How needs Alexa ;-) ? The Page is not that up to date, that's true but anyway.

  • Don't Delete Last I checked Gaming Uncensored has a subscriber base of 5000 a week. The URL tracked on Alexa is a forwarded domain (to Jamiejordan.net)
Comment -- whose own claim to fame [1] is "I’m Jamie Jordan and this little corner of the web is mine. Why should you care? Well I’m not sure. I have no job, no girl, and no life." RGTraynor 20:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment -- neither of which qualify this podcast under WP:WEB. RGTraynor 17:00, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment -- Check your Alexa [[2]] again. Nik the swiss 17:02, 28 April 2006 (GMT)
      • Check it yourself: [[3]]. A list of hits isn't what we use Alexa for; we use it to gauge traffic data. RGTraynor 19:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm not going to "vote" or taking this seriously but I chimed in. If I'm in the mood, I would say delete but I don't care if it stays or gets deleted. I'm the starter of the KWTS article that which the article links to and have heard of this show. The show is still alive on-air in the Texas Panhandle if you guys are wondering if it is still "alive." (Don't know about the current status of the podcast.) Just don't see the signifiance having an article about it. The show is produced by a student-run small state university campus station. Not just only two students. The show was featured in the Texas A&M System's press release, [4] but still not important in my opinion. --Who What Where Nguyen Why 20:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Merge with KWTS. After thinking about it, the KWTS page is a stub and needs to be expanded. Some parts would be good in that article after just Google search, "Gaming Uncensored" + "podcast" came with 30,000. Granted that is not a good measure. However after browsing through many page results with the combination of those two strings, a lot of non-major websites mention it. Although, it doesn't deserve an article. Still no problem with deleting it. If deleted, will still briefly mentioned in the KWTS article. --Who What Where Nguyen Why 02:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Don't Delete Gaming Uncensored is one of the longer running Podcasts available in a disposable world where things start and finish quickly. Whilst Ricky Gervais has a mention regarding his podcast in Wikipedia, yet having done only a handful, here is a show with 63 episodes having been available on iTunes for over a year that is being doubted and marked for deletion. Quotes used above pertaining to the shows hosts appear irrelevant to me, whilst comments relating to KWTS linking are the valid ones that ought to be valued. Please note, I have never worked for KWTS nor have I been fired by Ricky Gervais so these two references are purely intended to relate to parity and fair representation on Wikipedia. A historic tv show such as Mind Your Language has representation on Wikipedia without having been shown for 27 years. Should Gaming Uncensored be represented as equally? I'd say so . . .
