Cheap Ass Gamer on Wikipedia.org [DELETED BY WIKIBASTARDS]

I'm a little late to the party here guys, but I'm a frequent contributor on Wikipedia.
Anyways, It's tough to get any website listed. As you can see, now even on GameFAQ's page there is a call for references. The problem being that the policies in place on Wikipedia make it nearly impossible to get a website listed that's borderline "notable," because someone can always call Sources on it, and unless print articles can back up what you're saying (IE: EGM writes a history of CAG article), it can be deleted by the mods.
I'm not sure why so many people are so pissy on Wikipedia, but I've fought over many internet-related phenomenia, but it's damn tough to find sources when you consider you can't use anything posted on CAG's site itself.

I don't know if these qualify of sources and honestly, I stopped caring a while ago: http://wiki.cheapassgamer.com/index.php/CAG_in_the_press/media

Probably. I'll use them if I see any issues on Wikipedia again. Either way, Wikipedia's deletion policy feels like the US legal system a lot of times. Lots of little technicalities that someone can pull but most people don't unless they're being an ass.
