Gintor

Ok, I'm sorry. I understand this is your first wikipedia article, let me try to help. When I said this article is about Gintor.com, what I meant was that this is about Gintor in particular. Even though warez merits a page, and even if Gintor was a part of the warez community, that does not necessarily mean Gintor merits a page. You need to try to convince people that Gintor has done something concrete which makes it special, or has been written about in another medium, or anything to differentiate it from thousands of other warez hubs. Having its own file format seemed like the closest Gintor has to this, but then the link provides no information. The whole point of a citation is to provide secondary evidence, so blaming filext.com when you chose them as your citation isn't helping. Have you read the guidelines for web notability? See if you can make an argument for Gintor's notability based on the specifications in that guideline. I'm sorry your having some issues with your first article, just know that this happens to a lot of people, and hang in there. --Nscheffey 14:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, fair enough, sorry for flying off the handle. Just a little taken back by the reaction to my article. There are lots of references to gintor around the web, but it will take some amount of research to dig them up. Im just worried the article will be taken down before i have any chance to rectify this. --N0 m3RcY 14:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The article will remain as nominated for deletion for at least five days, so you have time to make a case and clean up the article. If you haven't read the Guide to deletion you should, it will help you understand the process. Sorry if the comments at the AfD page seem gruff or curt, its just that a lot of bad pages get created on Misplaced Pages that cause people to lean towards deletion. I'm sure you'll find that most Wikipedians are more than willing to listen to a calm, rational argument for keeping the page. Good luck. --Nscheffey 15:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
