So Ben Croshaw is not notable, but AGD Interactive is? I checked the AGD interactive article, there are no major publications referenced in the wiki article that mention them! Come on Andrevan, I dare you, go ahead and delete the article about the most famous amateur adventure game designers(AGDI) out there!

I already tried to delete this article, but it was kept. I will now, however, endeavor to have AGD Interactive deleted. Thanks for the tip. Andre (talk) 01:24, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

That Andre guy seems pretty lame —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.253.52 (talk) 03:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, he's kind of a dick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.159.221 (talk) 04:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I just looked him up, and not only has he tried to delete this, but also every single thing that Croshaw has ever done, as well as, bizarrely, the templates for the Mario and Zelda series, without which they would be difficult to navigate. Quite literally everyone disagreed with him on that.

[edit] dleate

Not to be a pain but why did sombody want this deleated it factural and longer that other articles. and wiki and grow forever so we can stuff it full all we like. so why did people want it deleated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.189.93 (talk) 14:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been asking this myself, it's a beef I have with current wikipedia policy- we're supposed to collect all the knowledge of the world then somehow decide if some knowledge is "notable" or not. It's ridiculous. It used to be "BE BOLD" now it's "Be Timid". Sneakernets (talk) 03:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

oh god i posted that, look at my speling yesh, oh sorry off topic.(121.218.180.193 (talk) 04:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC))

If you notice, the deletion vote was well over a year ago. To put it lightly, Croshaw wasn't quite so well known then as he is now. -- Grandpafootsoldier (talk) 04:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

There are other better images of Ben Croshaw available, Drake's Fortune wasn't the first time a he appeared as himself, for example [1] and [2] the second of which isn't that great though. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 19:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, WHY doesn't this have its own article? It's been covered by just about every gaming press that you could possibly think of. Maratanos (talk) 02:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Probably because it's more trouble than it's worth to contest the 'notability' of the series. This happens a lot on wiki, some *very nice rule-abiding person* always makes an issue of whether something is 'notable' or not and, because they have more time than you, they always win. It's also an issue of what's a 'reliable source' and, quite frankly, there's a lot of snobbery about the gaming press being one due to wiki's effort to be regarded as something on par with Encyclopedia Britannica. At least it has an article on TV Tropes...
