  • Comment: I would say that only gamesindustry.biz is the only source that definitely count towards the notability requirements right now. Mcv.uk may also count towards it. At least two more eligible sources (ideally from WP:VG/S) should do. Additionally, ResetEra is an internet forum which falls under WP:UGC but at least that link should be replaced with the one listed in the forum. JuniperChill (talk) 12:09, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
