Notability

edit

I was asked to provide the WP:THREE best sources for this page, so I've listed them below.

  1. "New York Game Awards Journalism Noms Include Riot Games, Telltale Games Exposes"
  2. "Recap: 1st Annual NY Videogame Critics Circle Awards"
  3. "The Witcher 3 slaughters the competition at New York Video Game Awards"

These are all links to news reports on awards shows from various years, since I'm not sure whether linking to the NYVGCC site itself counts here. But if it does, the About page provides lots of useful info. --ElizabethPBallou (talk) 14:51, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@ElizabethPBallou: First off, thank you for disclosing yourself as a WP:PAID contributor. The NYVGCC site would definitely not be considered an WP:INDEPENDENT source so not good for establishing [[WP:|notability]]. Of the three sources you've listed above, only Variety is clearly a reliable source. The coverage there, however, looks suspiciously like a regurgitated press release. Coverage in 1 and 3 is mostly about the awards. 2 contains some significant coverage of the organization. In summary, the coverage highlighted here is either primarily about the awards and/or is not reliable. If you can find some coverage like 2 in a sources like 1, you will be able to move this forward. If not, you may consider reworking the draft to be about the awards rather than the organization. The requirements for demonstrating notability of an organization are described at WP:NCORP and are more demanding than in other topic areas (such as awards). ~Kvng (talk) 12:51, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

This is very useful advice. Thanks so much for your help! --ElizabethPBallou (talk) 01:34, 29 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
