G123 Draft

Hi there,

came across your G123 draft in the AfC queue, and… it’s 50/50 enough that rather than just declining it, I thought I’d touch base and see if we can’t get it over the line first time. There are 3-4 sources that are… ok, but which are all kind of marginal because, despite being reviews, there’s a whiff of advertising about them (probably because those review sites WANT us to play games). Added to several sources which absolutely ARE flat out PR from the company, and you get an article where even if I approved it, it would almost certainly be nominated for deletion within the week (the bane of my life doing this AfC process). You have a controversies section (actually, I broke out the section 😆), but what would really help is if you could find an article that focuses more on like the development of the platform, or some other news hook, which can’t be argued to be promotional, and which would therefore give me decent arguments against deletion if it were to come to an AfD nomination. If you do manage to find those sources, add them to the article, and then drop me a line letting me know, and I’ll go take another look 👍

Good luck and keep up the hard work. Absurdum4242 (talk) 08:00, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to review and leave such detailed feedback.

I’ve added a few new independent sources focusing on the platform’s market and development aspects — particularly from InvestGame, Think with Google, and DataHorizzon Research — to provide a more neutral, third-party context about the HTML5 browser gaming industry and G123’s positioning within it.

I’ve also adjusted the tone in some sections and clarified that several statements (e.g., user numbers) are according to CTW, rather than asserted as fact.

Would you mind taking another look when you have a chance? I’d really appreciate any further guidance to ensure it meets AfC standards.

Thanks again for your help! Gimmywp (talk) 06:17, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
