[edit] Nintendojo

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

contested prod; No reliable sources to verify notability. Author has repeatedly removed notability tags and prod-notability tag without providing refs. I haven't found any RS myself but if someone else can find good refs I'd withdraw the afd. Sbowers3 (talk) 14:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:WEB. One of coutless video-game websites. Primary claim to notability is that some of the people who contributed it went on to contribute to other sites. For comparison's sake, present Alexa rank is 290,802... IGN and Gamespot are 148 and 109. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Starblind. Does not rise to WP:WEB at this time. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 18:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. 1) is well-known and often cited in the gaming community -- by other sites, on message boards, etc... a simple Google search shows this. 2) Alexa is a dubious judge of site traffic, as it is based singularly on self-selected Alexa toolbar users; as Wikpedia community has noted, there is no fair study of bias factors (in contrast to Nielson, whose sample users are much more carefully regulated). 3) Nintendojo is a pioneering website; established as the oldest Nintendo-specific fansite still in existence and one of the first gaming sites in the "pre-commercial" era, before the advent of sites like GameSpot and IGN, 4) other fansites like NintendoWorldReport, Gamestyle, ToTheGame, and Gamezebo (many of which are less well known than Nintendojo) have Wikipedia pages. 5) Refs to site notability are included on Wiki page. 6) Is included in numerous notable meta-reference sites such as GameRankings and GameStats -- joshofstl —Preceding comment was added at 13:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Update. Additional external notability references added.--Joshofstl (talk) 16:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
