HardOCP[edit]

This entry is a blatant plug for a hardware review website and is not the sort of material to be included in an encyclopedia. HardOCP is one hardware review website of many hundreds and is not of any particular significance. This article should be deleted and *perhaps* replaced with a more generic article discussing the phenomena of hardware review websites in general, with appropriate links to many sites. However, I doubt even this merits an ebtry in Wikipedia. Paul 10:48, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The cleanup by Anetode is justified. *drew 23:16, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Popular hardware review site with an Alexa rank of 8,232, passes provisional WP:WEB standards. Though the article does need cleanup. --GraemeL ^(talk) 13:41, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article tone is no longer advertorial. --anetode ¹ ² ³ 20:53, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a pretty well-known site, mentioned in Slashdot every now and then, even quoted/referred to in print (at least in my local game mag from time to time). Hate to see people nominate articles just because they read like advertisements - that's what cleanup is for. --Wwwwolf 23:03, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup. Site gained a lot of attention online after exposing Infinium Labs as a possible fruad, and for the lawsuit that followed. --InShaneee 23:11, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup. Site is famous for its honesty on very controversial issues such as the Infium Labs , ATI's paper-launch. More about the background of site should be included.

keep This is a well known, often-referenced site with a large community behind it, less known than slashdot but of similar character.
