CricketGaming

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Fails WP:WEB, all three criteria. Although it could be notable for being one of the few, if not the only, site dedicated to cricket video games, I'm not sure that's enough to merit a Wikipedia article. If someone can prove me wrong on this and find some reviews or awards for this site then I'll gladly withdraw my nom, but as it stands I'm just not seeing the importance of this (recently launched) site. In addition, it's poorly written, the "Notability" section is unconvincing, the "Criticism" section doesn't even say what the criticisms are, the Mindstorm source is self-published and not about the site, the Eurogamer source only mentions it in passing and again, is not about the site. Who knows? perhaps given a few years this website may become world-renowned and newsworthy but right now it's just not notable. &oelig; &trade; 19:10, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Cannot find any outside sources about this website. — Parent5446 ☯ ([ msg] email) 20:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - The website is affiliated to Mindstorm Studios. Go to www.mindstormstudios.com and see on the left. CricketGaming is a well known site among all companies who develop cricket video games. You can easily find sources if you'll search websites like Codemasters, Rockingham Software etc. — Hitterman ☯ ([ msg] email) 2:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - lacks coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability -- Whpq (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * indented duplicate vote  Chzz  ► 11:53, 20 July 2010 (UTC) *Keep - Strong sources for notability of this site from Gamespot and IGN. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/company/index.php?company=87451 and http://games.ign.com/objects/064/064316.html. I think these are pretty strong sources. I can provide more sources if required -- Hitterman (talk) 14:22, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - The Gamespot item is a directory entry and not signficant coverage about the site. And the IGN link doesn't work. -- Whpq (talk) 10:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * indented duplicate vote  Chzz  ► 11:53, 20 July 2010 (UTC) *Keep - Here is another strong source. World's best online cricket games site StickCricket posts about our website.http://www.sticksports.com/community/blogs/stick-sports-team/stick-cricket-wins-best-online-game-766/
 * . I hope this is sufficient. I have more sources. -- Hitterman (talk) 17:06, 20 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.119.67 (talk)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete I do not see significant coverage in independent reliable sources, as required by WP:GNG, also this fails the requirements in WP:WEB.  Chzz  ► 18:52, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
