*'''Endorse''' speedy deletion under [[WP:CSD#A7]]. As Starblind wrote above, no credible claim of this website's importance was made in the article itself.

I think what NW meant to say is that while the article doesn't have to demonstrate notability to overcome A7, it ultimately could not avoid deletion at [[WP:AfD]] without evidence of notability.

GameCola
The article was deleted under "section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion". However, I feel that this article represents a very significant organization in the realm of video games. This organization produces several reviews, comics, news, blog, and video segments on video games and is a significant contributor to the video game review industry. I request that this page be reinstated so the history can be maintained. While the organization is not as big as other companies, there's no reason that this organization's page can't remain, as it was written in a fair and objective manner. No, I am not the owner of this website. I find it difficult to have "other reliable sources" listed for a somewhat minor website. How often does a website mention another website? If you look at page IGN, almost all of the references are from IGN itself, and not other websites. stealthrabbi (talk) 14:24, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
