  • Delete - Unreferenced, and doesn't assert notability in the slightest. -- JediLofty 15:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - not too sure how this article has lasted as long as it has. No references, notability definatley can't be established, maybe even original research. Can't fly here... (not exactly sure, but maybe this WP:CSD#A7 applies here. after further reading, it doesn't apply, oops! Dusti 16:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep – As our dependency for gathering information – news – references and other pertinent information from the Internet grows our need to change our mindset from the more traditional methods of establishing verifiable – reliable and creditable sources such as the New York Times and Time needs to be expanded to include sites like YouTube and machinima.com. As you will note here this game has established quite a following. Over 100,000 hits on Google in reviewing the first 100 I would say this game has established notability.

Comment - LOL- Not a problem, in fact, I understand the rational behind the delete opinions and would normally agree! However, though the video has not been covered by more traditional news coverage services, there is no doubt the video series have gained notability. My contention is that even in the face of providing an argument, from non-traditional sources, we have editors shutting their ears and eyes and stamping their feet claiming; “...well I do not see it in the New York Times. All I can say is that thank you to the man-in-charge that Fox News and CNN did not follow the established majority or we would all still be watching ABCCBS and NBC only. Take care all.

Its not just "traditional news services" - WP:RS's definition also allows websites that have that kind of fact checking (GameSpot and IGN for instance would be as acceptable sources for this article if they had covered the series), as well as blogs that are run by members of the media or other reputable sources. The problem is that even this new media that does fall into "acceptable" under WP:RS hasn't covered this series either. I understand the concern that some editors do have some blindness to non-traditional reliable sources in deletion debates, but in this case the subject still doesn't have any coverage in any source that meets WP:RS, traditional or new media.
