[edit] Revo-Europe

Fails WP:WEB. 85 distinct Google hits. No mention except in other similar forums. ColourBurst 21:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep RE is a well-known gaming site, especially in Europe and meets the third criteria of WP:WEB.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tphi (talk • contribs) .

*Delete. Appears to fail WP:WEB. Along with nom's google search, I get an Alexa rank of 110,409 [1]. Regarding meeting the third WP:WEB criterion, I looked at the site, but failed to see that it fit. Can you expand on that?. Always willing to reconsider.--Fuhghettaboutit 00:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Weak keep No smoking gun but some evidence of notability.--Fuhghettaboutit 14:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment First off, I am the article's creator, apologies if I should have stated that. I thought it may satisfy the third criterion as the site's content is also distributed as part of the wide AMN network, which is also responsible for the site's hosting. Additionally, the site's podcasts can be found on iTunes. The Alexa rank is low only as it has dipped in the past month or so - it has been 80,000 and higher. I guess another argument would be that of Futility's on the AMN AfD page [2] - which is that there are many other sites like this which do have articles. Nintendorks, N-sider, PGC - all of the same popularity and visibility online. In my opinion, to argue that this needs deletion would be generalising that many, many other sites would have to be deleted too. Tphi 23:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment please don't take it personally. The only reason I didn't nominate PGC is because they do have mentions in major newspapers, like USA Today. On the other hand, the third criteria has limits to it as well - you can't host a page on Geocities and say it satisfies the third point. With the footnote, I find that the third point is strongly tied to the first. In addition, the Alexa rankings (though I do not always trust them) are actually vastly different for these "similar" sites. In fact, a lot of web articles get deleted (and sometimes we miss some - we are only human), because Wikipedia isn't really a web directory. --ColourBurst 16:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment I see your points, though Cube/Revo Europe has similarly been mentioned in the mainstream media, for example BBC News [3], which incidentally PGC is mentioned too in. Tphi 23:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The site is recognized among European Nintendo gamers. The previous owner, Tim Symons, was offered a job at Nintendo of Europe's HQ if I remember rightly; at the very least then the site is well-known within the industry. As has been said, Revo-Europe also comprises part of the AMN network. Also, articles from the site have been quoted elsewhere, including Wikipedia - see Revo-Europe referenced on Perfect Dark, a featured article. --The Researcher 12:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
