Not notable enough; probably there to help promote it Thorpe | talk 17:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom, and that the site is not official. Sounds more like a fan-made site to me, which can be POV in some aspects. Also, it's a borderline fail for WP:WEB Darknut Slayer 21:11, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

- Keep This is an informative page and the site is used by tens of thousands of gamers. --Morphzilla 12:13 GMT, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep A fast-growing gaming community worthy of inclusion. --Kieran 13:21 GMT, 9 April 2006 (UTC) (voted under 86.17.63.244)
- Delete, its just an endeavor by a webmaster to promote his/her fanmade website. This unofficial site does not offer any redeeming content whatsoever that is useful for anyone, and the credibility of its content is easily disputed considering that the site is dedicated to the proliferation of fanboyism over a particular product.
- Comment I would just like to make note that the following users who voted in this nomination have very few edits or only contribute to the PS3Forums article:
- Gamerman (only contributed to PS3Forums and the deletion page)
- Keesie (only contributed to the deletion page)
- Morphzilla (contributes only to PS3Portal, PS3Forums and the deletion page)
- 86.17.63.244 (IP address, one edit to PS3Forums and to the deletion page)
My argument is to not include votes for these users. Do other Wikipedians agree? --Thorpe | talk 13:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with Thorpe and vote Delete per nom. --Andy123(talk) 13:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment So Thorpe you can't give a good reason why this page should be deleted, so instead of making an agruement you try to discount votes that disagree with you. Guess what this forum is notable it made runs though Gamespot and other websites after an April Fools joke about Mircosft was going to buy them out. Plus a lot of forums have mention how it strives to be an unbiaed forum with its heavey modding done by deleting any unproven fanboyism remarks. For those who think it should be deleted because it is an unofficial PS3 forum guess what only Sony has the official making every forum outside of that unofficial. WP:WEB. --Gamerman 13:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Gamerman, your only arguement about it being "official" is that Gamespot mentioned it in an April Fools joke, and a statement that your site is unofficial. Unfortunately, those really aren't great reasons why it should be kept. It being in an April Fools joke means nothing. That proves nothing about it being a good and official PS3 forum. I understand that the site is un-biased, but it's still an unofficial forum. Therefore, while many other forums are unofficial, your Wikipedia article will be and is considered advertisement of a forum. It doesn't come from and benefit Sony or the PS3, but is only a place for gamers who will buy the PS3 to talk. No helpful history and no real important data. That's why it fails WP:WEB. Thank you.

- Keep That website is great, it is ranked in the top 30,000 in alexa. I say keep it. I can;t see why we have all these pointless pages that are still open and you are considering deleting this
section.
