 * The only problem is that these would be considered self-published sources that undergo little to no editorial oversight and wouldn't pass muster at WP:RS/N or at AfD in general. Video links explains this in a little more detail when it comes to videos. Basically, while these people/sites may be popular, we can't use them for sourcing. Bluntly put, most sources can't be used, which usually tends to be a problem when we get into something that would fall into what some would consider a "niche". Gaming is somewhat mainstream, but the whole Gamergate thing is considered to be relatively "niche" by the mainstream public and as such doesn't get as much coverage as you'd see for something like ebola or Hannah Graham. When you start slicing this down into smaller and smaller bits, the likelihood that the mainstream press would pay attention grows smaller, as does the likelihood that other non-mainstream reliable sources would cover the topic. What we get in these situations is that we have something that is talked about, but not in places that Wikipedia would really see as reliable. I run into this a lot with independent horror films, so I know it must be frustrating but right now the coverage just doesn't seem to exist. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:34, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
