PCGamesN

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

all references point back to james binns or future which makes me suspicious that the article was produced by a click farm or pcgamesn themselves. linjs to pcgn itself are few and far between from other major sites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.98.252.251 (talk) 09:37, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Multiple references from reliable source per this.-Splinemath (talk) 23:04, 5 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete @Splinemath's multiple references seem just to be one website (games industry/gamer network - same company - which Binns has links to). all other links are from Binns' former company Future.  where are the independent links?  imho blatant article using wiki for promotion and seo.  im  a big gamer in the uk and have never heard of this website until i discovered it on wiki.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.98.252.251 (talk) 10:05, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The site seems fairly popular enough that a Wikipedia stub wouldn't really help advertising. "Never heard of it" is not a valid reason for deletion, or half the articles on Wikipedia would be deleted by now.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep PCGamesN seems to just about meet significant coverage:, , , , , , , , , , , .   Spy-cicle💥   Talk? 16:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete "agreed never heard" of it isn't a very good reason but 7 of Spy-cicle's links are from webpages with close relations to Binns so cannot be really independent. I guess keep will prevale and the wikipedia will have another spam article in its ranks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.98.252.251 (talk) 18:01, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I struck through the "Delete" votes since a nominator cannot vote on their own AfD, much less multiple times. Regardless of whether you think there is some conflict of interest conspiracy here, while we cannot disprove it, you cannot prove it either beyond spouting baseless accusations, so it ultimately amounts to nothing.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - outside coverage is enough to pass WP:GNG. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 04:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
