Free Online Games[edit]

Flash games website that doesn't have any real claims of notability, in terms of WP:WEB at least. Looks like it fails WP:RS/WP:V as well. Delete as such. Wickethewok 13:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - According to an Alexa traffic graph, this site's traffic is about as high as the traffic of Newgrounds and nearly triples the traffic of Something Awful. Highly notable. Michaelas10 (T|C) 13:50, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • A high Alexa rank/traffic details doesn't make it meet WP:V, WP:RS, or WP:WEB though. Wickethewok 14:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - It seems no different than spam. If somebody added that link to the end of an article on anything, it would be deleted as Spam. Chris Kreider 14:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 00:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep due to its incredibly high ranking (707!). This is clearly notable, because of the extremely large number of people that appear to come into contact with it, but badly needs sourcing. Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 05:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Partly rewritten and sourced Michaelas10 (T|C) 10:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - Neither of those references are reliable third party sources. One of them is the FAQ from the site itself! The Kinslayer 10:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've had a lot of trouble finding references, when the most I found were just forum posts. Should I just remove that information and add referenced one instead? Michaelas10 (T|C) 10:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • To be honest, I'd say that the trouble with finding references is kind of indicative of the lack of notability of this site. But if you can find any postive news stories about the site, or some independant awards it won, that would go a long way to establishing notability, just remeber that the sources need to be unrelated to the main site in all ways apart from the fact they are talking about it.

  • Keep- High Alexa rank indicates great traffic. Entries about individual flash games are being cleared out, but that doesn't mean an article about a site with hundreds (apparently) of flash games should be thrown out. --Groggy Dice 22:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless notability established. Otherwise, it's just another website advertisement. --Alan Au 16:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hmm.. I wrote it three months ago. No, I don't think it sounds like an advertisment, as I removed all the sentences that gave it that tone. Michaelas10 (T|C) 17:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Regardless of tone, my main problem with the article is that it makes no verifiable claims of notability that satisfy WP:WEB. --Alan Au 09:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Anomo 09:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
