Non-notable gaming league Corvus cornix (talk) 00:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep How is this non notable? I added multiple third party resources including interviews and race reviews as well as a featured article of a official racing simulation online magazine. It's more notable than Formula SimRacing.--LizardPariah (talk) 00:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'll give you the profile of one of the "reliable" writers: "Sports/Feature Writer: Joe Cortez.

Joe comes to the AUTOSIMSPORT Team with two years of experience as a working journalist in television and radio. The winner of several awards for journalistic excellence, Cortez resides in California, after completing his education in Ohio."

Keep - If the STCC is not notable, why is Formula_SimRacing notable? They are both simracing leagues, albeit using different simulations. In fact the FSR article, doesn't even contain any third-party sources, it's just... there. I feel that there should be an article for the STCC, it's informative, it ain't doing damage, and seeing that the STCC is (to my knowledge) one of the most viewed simracing leagues, and has the most professional broadcasts for pretty much the entire video game sector (bar maybe the larger pro-leagues in Korea or other countries), especially being produced by a group of 2 people (Becky and whom-ever commentates with her).

See
WP:WAX, this debate needs ot be about this article, not other articles. meshach (talk) 03:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

I realize some of my mistakes and I used these reliable third party resources as a reference to the article. (something i forgot to do).--LizardPariah (talk) 01:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a
reliable source in the lot. Corvus cornix (talk) 00:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

  • It's a site that broadcasts game recaps. That's not a reliable site. Give us newspapers and magazines. Or even books. Corvus cornix (talk) 01:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I gave you examples already: AutoSimSport online magazine and Digital Displacement Online Reviewer. See above. ^--LizardPariah (talk) 01:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: That Sim Racing website does appear to be affiliated with the subject of the article. I've searched around, and cannot find any
    reliable third-party sources. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

That publication doesn't write about anything else. It does not meet
WP:RS for this article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

  • I've struckout all of your extra bold "keep" words, as it is misleading to the consensus that will be built on the article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, unless you consider racing simulation videogames now
Cruft, and if it were advertisement, it'd be much less informative and use more persuasive words than the article does use.Gu3st (talk) 03:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply

Maybe {{In-universe}}? Corvus cornix (talk) 23:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mehhhhh, no, not quite what I was thinking. I've seen one of them before. Close but no cigar Corvus. —ScouterSig 23:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Found it (and on an article called Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 no less! {{context}} Thanks for your help. —ScouterSig 00:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the article could stay, but with that same flag on it, seeing there are future things happening for the STCC, which will come to light in the near future. Can we agree on that as a fair compromise? Gu3st (talk) 02:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
