Being mentioned by users on Reddit doesn't demonstrate notability any more than being mentioned by users on Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, or Gaia Online. And two of the three mentions in the thread you linked are posts by you.

Facepalm The actual news pieces do show notability, though.-- Atlantima ~✿~ (talk) 00:56, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I probably should've checked before posting that one, my apologies. I've removed the reddit threads. Nicereddy (talk) 03:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the blue background on the logo? Because the background of wikipedia is white... 160.107.87.10 (talk) 17:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not the light blue color, no. I mean that I want a clear background on the image. A clear image looks like this (the checkered pattern), while the PCGamingWiki logo has a white background. Nicereddy (talk) 04:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The fix has been made. The background is now transparent. Newmansan (talk) 13:13, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
