A fact from Operation Rainfall appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 July 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the fan campaign to release specific Wii video games by the game developer Nintendo received an official response from the company?

Facebook quote

Other than Siliconera's interpretation, is there any actual evidence that NOA was specifically referring to the Operation? I know that it is quite likely, but is there actual proof? ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 15:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IGN, or atleast one of their employees, has tweeted that that NOA is expected to give a reaction/response in the coming day or two. But that's just an example that shows NOA is aware, it wasn't about this particular situation with Siliconera. If it is strictly Siliconera's interpretation, I suppose we could re-word it accordingly... Sergecross73 msg me 16:01, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted because it is not remotely notable or appropriate for this website.

And that's that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.102.226.119 (talk) 00:15, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How do you define notability? - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 03:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Or "appropriate", for that matter... Sergecross73 msg me 12:21, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, neither of the arguments make sense. The movement is clearly notable since it has been covered by sites such as IGN, Eurogamer, and Nintendoworldreport, etc. I also don't see how covering a topic that has been covered by reliable sources is inappropriate in any way.--76.66.188.209 (talk) 06:53, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Except things make the run across the gaming news sites all the time that might not be considered notable by any other measure. A cool Bayonetta costume at a convention, a guy with a really old Duke Nukem Forever preorder. Are all these things Wikipedia material? - Crabbattler (talk) 19:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
