The result was delete. Despite the 8 delete to 2 keeps, the keep votes actually presented arguments instead of "per nom" and were given weight. However, the google link lists 11 hits for the name, with only a couple distinct links to the site. The MTV reference was similarly underwhelming. There sources cited simply did not confer adequate notability, so I find that the nominator's claim of non-notability is valid. —Doug Bell ^talk 21:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GameLife[edit]

Online gaming show. Only real claim to notability is getting hits from being an Awful Link of the Day on Something Awful and getting sponsored to go to E3 by some media company. Only two minor non-first-party sources, one of which is a press-release. Alexa rank 2,596,635 Drat (Talk) 10:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep': I'm gonna vote keep, as the internet becomes a medium of entertainment thier certaintly should be some standards for inclusion, the fact that this is baisicly as of now a 1up.com sponsored show and likewise appears on thier "gamevideos" network, therefore it should deffinatly qualify it as a legitamite article, in the same way the Desperate Housewives or Ugly Betty are notable because they appear on ABC.

- But there is a big difference between National TV and some little section in Gamevideos.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.222.139 (talk • contribs)

Keep - These references need to be integrated into the article. They have been mentioned in a very notable trade magazine for video games, Electronic Gaming monthly. ([[1]]). They've appeared on MTV [[2]]. They've had radio interviews [[3]] and have appeared in the Pheonix (a printed newspaper) [[4]]. This means they pass WP:V and have one reliable real world secondary source. They have lots of primary sources some some secondary sources of various quality but they do have multiple sources and multiple reliable sources thus they pass WP:RS. MTV uses some of their clips so they pass criterion 3 of WP:WEB and they have secondary sources documenting them thus criterion 1 is passed. I don't think the lexa ranking is fair since their content is hosted offsite on youtube and other video sites. With all these references and the topic passing WP:WEB I know the article can be improved to include these references. Does not fail WP:WEB. --Quirex 05:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
