 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was  No consensus - the draft isn't so old as to be clearly abandoned, and if there's a case to be made that this isn't a good faith attempt to create a legitimate article for the encyclopaedia, it hasn't been made here. Merely being "unlikely" to meet WP:N isn't a reason not to give a serious editor substantial latitude to try in their sandbox. Deleting just creates needless work for us suckers who've listed ourselves in Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles. (Note that although Egon Eagle hasn't !voted in the usual format, I'm counting them as a keep voice, considering.) Wily D  09:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

User:Egon Eagle/The Irate Gamer


WP:STALEDRAFT from August. The only sources in the draft are Oh Internet and TV Tropes, neither of which are reliable. I suggested over a month ago that this is very unlikely to become a viable article; the creator asked if I could help him come up with better sourcing, which I was unable to do beyond one local fluff piece. tl;dr: no way is this ever becoming an article.

 * The Irate Gamer should be notable, he is a famous copycat of The Angry Video Game Nerd, many fans of AVGN don't like The Irate Gamer, he has many subscribers on YouTube and probably a YouTube Partner. Egon Eagle (talk) 11:29, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * None of which is an assertation of notability. He must have independent secondary sources. Several of them. And stuff like Oh Internet and TV Tropes don't count. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 14:13, 27 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It appears unlikely that this would survive in articlespace. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 14:46, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Blank while not being actively edited. It is not ready for mainspace, not meeting WP:WEB, and can be considered promotional. Delete if the author doesn't agree to this. It is not ok to be left live as-is indefinitely. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Why should it be blanked and not just deleted? What purpose does blanking serve? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I am assuming that the topic has some potential, which may be incorrect.  Generally, I wish for users to manage their own userspace appropriately, which includes blanking at least borderline non-notable promotional material, but also to be clear that if they do not then we'll delete the page.   This was a good nomination. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:08, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I added the characters and episodes sections in the article recently, if the article would be notable I would working more. Egon Eagle (talk) 22:54, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
