Gtagaming.com
Non-notable website. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=6m&size=medium&y=r&url=www.gtagaming.com#top may prove useful here. Does not meet WP:WEB, to my knowledge. Delete. - Corbin Simpson 03:02, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The website is an extremely influential GTA related website that has recieved recognition from Take 2 Interactive as well as Rockstar Games. The site has also had a hand in Young Maylay's (the voice of Carl Johnson)career.  I for one do not feel that a deletion is in order.  I would also like to add that the site recieves privy information from Rockstar well before it released to the general public.  Which if I understand correctly qualifies it under this criteria:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WEB
 * So a fansite was recognized by the game publisher. That doesn't make it notable. Fagstein 05:57, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The site is not just recognized (acknowledged) by the game publisher. The site itself recieves exclusive information, modifications, and tangible goods from the publisher.  The publisher sent out packages to the administrators with exclusive memorabilia not available for purchase to the general public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.54.146.210 (talk • contribs)

 * This website is one of the best GTA websites out there, if not THE best. It was even in the game manual for the last 4 GTA's! Even Rockstar themselves loves this site! It definateally doesn't deserve to be deleted

 * Reference for this? Google shows no hits for "GTAGaming.com" from the game publisher's official website. Fagstein 05:57, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Links for screens of the manuals coming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.54.146.210 (talk • contribs)

 * At least part of the content is a copyvio: . Tito xd (?!? - help us) 05:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The only thing that exists that could possibly be a copyvio would be the rules, for which we have recieved permission from the Site Administrator Zidane (the network administrator, Shawn, has nothing to do with these rules.) As far as other GTA-relates sites are concerned, none recieve the same attention from the developer of the game that this particular website does.  For instance: there is a character model in the game based off of the Site Admin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.54.146.210 (talk • contribs)
 * Can you provide some sort of source for this? Fagstein 06:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable sitecruft. Link to it from Grand Theft Auto if it's such a huge GTA-related site (unlike all the other great GTA-related sites) Fagstein 05:53, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete with laughable claim to notoriety below. Might still deserve link from GTA page since it is mentioned in the manual. Fagstein 15:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. &mdash;-- That Guy, From That Show!  (talk) 2006-02-09 06:51Z 
 * Delete has no significance other than its subject - link to it from the appropriate GTA articles Cynical 11:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Just to show how popular thsi site is here's a scan of the GTA:Vice City manual- http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7176/vicecitycredits4ht.jpg look under "Fansite Thanks" on the pink page. GTAGaming.com is right there
 * Comment: Cool. That's not notable, though. - Corbin Simpson 14:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Then why the extraneous request for it. It's beginning to seem that this whole deletion notion is nothing more than a mere joke and form of distraction.

 * Delete per all the above. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 16:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * To be fair, the article does lack external links and references to prove its influence, and the scan posted earlier is probably insufficient to use in the article. --User:UnKnown X (Talk)   16:17 - Feb 9 '06 (UTC)

 * Still waiting for someone to explain how any of the material was copyvio. Under the established laws in place, and the policy of this website nothing, not a single charater in the article, was copyvio.
 * Delete or merge a couple of sentences to Grand Theft Auto series, which already has an external link. Neither Google nor Alexa indicates the topic meets WP:WEB.  The connection to the game's publisher doesn't make this worth its own article.  No indication of any influence, or even interest, for anyone not a fan of the game.  WP:NOT a web directory or gamers' guide.  Barno 00:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete whether it's a copyvio or not. Fails WP:WEB by a mile. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  00:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Whether or not if fails WP:WEB, I think the people involved have a right to an explanation. You don't just pull an accusation of copyvio out of thin air and then have nothing to back it up.  In addition I've found numerous web related wiki's that do not pass according to WP:WEB, yet they've been given the ok to stay up.  Explain this please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.70.119.86 (talk • contribs)
 * Feel free to point these articles out on my talk page and I'll nominate them for deletion as well. Fagstein 01:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
