This article has already been posted and deleted twice as spam. Bringing it here to get a decision as to whether it's cleanuppable and/or worthy of keeping. Procedural nom so I abstain.  – iridescent 18:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Hi. I was just wondering what changes need to be made to make it conform to the rules. I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm just trying my best. I tried to follow this example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamespot

Please, any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

The Gamespot article contains 78 references to reliable sources to establish its notability. While this article certainly doesn't need as many as 78, it needs at least some to explain why other media think it's a noteworthy organisation. – iridescent 18:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I'll try my best. However, I saw a great amount of those "references" are internal links. Should I do that as well and link to CheatCC reviews, previews, etc. or those links are not allowed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmccc (talk • contribs) 19:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I dislike links to the subject's own website but this is totally out of my area. Post a request at WikiProject Video games and someone will help you. You should probably mention this deletion discussion as they're the best people to comment on whether this article is viable. – iridescent 19:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment replication of cheats elsewhere does not indicate notability. The interviews could be cited for the aritcles where they originate, but that too does not indicate notability. Unless the GameFAQs-Dave Allison flap was covered in a reliable publication, it's just an Internet skirmish that shouldn't be added. hbdragon88 (talk) 06:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why not keep after editing? If the goal is to make an encyclopedia, Cheat Code Central should be there, just as Gamespot and IGN are. Shouldn't it? Granted CCC is only half the size of those two, but it's still the third most visited out there, and the #1 choice for codes. Any kid between 10-18 who goes online and plays video games will know CCC. Of course, I know I'm not a neutral source to tell you this, but you could easily investigate the issue and find out...I think we were extremely neutral in the way everything is explained on the doc. Feel free to edit anything you want, shorten the document, etc. I tried to get rid of part of the initial content, but I'm not sure what you guys think is useless and what isn't. I used the Gamespot Wikipedia post as a reference to build this one. Any input is appreciated. Thanks. Mmccc (talk)
