Delete --- Fails Notabilty, WP:Notlist, Features Youtube as the main source. KoshVorlon' Naluboutes Aeria Gloris 20:46, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The Angry Video Game Nerd is irrefutably notable, and this is a perfectly acceptable fork of the main article — keeping the episode list in the main article would make it far too long. Precedent for such lists is established through other web review personalities' articles such as Nostalgia Critic and Spoony Experiment.

- Keep per Ten...good content split. CTJF83 chat 04:01, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. These lists are inevitable among the most popular on youtube, e.g., List of The Annoying Orange episodes.--Milowent • talkblp-r 04:19, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is the best/only place I know where to get the episodes that doesn't subject me to a browser beatdown with scripts and other such content.Sturmovik (talk) 21:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Stong Keep It is unfortunate that this page is up for deletion for a second consecutive month. As best I can tell, nothing has changed in the past 30+ days that would warrant this subsequent nomination. This page is no different than any other "list of episodes" page, and it is from a far more notable source than many. Also, I would like to point out that the "main source" of this show is not youtube, but rather screwattack.com and also the screwattack section of gametrailers.com (links are on the page); and that any suggestion to the contrary is only a demonstration of ignorance.

- But, for what it's worth, it is the AVGN's official YouTube channel, even though he uploads his videos primarily on GameTrailers. –MuZemike 04:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- James Rolfe is under contract to screwattack, who in turn are under contract to gametrailers. Part of the terms of one or both of these contracts is that James cannot upload a video to his youtube account until it is old (around a year and a half, forgive me for not knowing the specifics). There are some of his newer videos that are available on youtube, and again I do not know specifically why this is so, but you will notice that the majority of the episodes from the past year and a half are not available on youtube, and can only be watched through screwattack. Again, my point is only that youtube is NOT the "main source" of the videos, though they do eventually become available there. Shakzor (talk) 12:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I think you're right. If I recall, he re-posts his videos that are originally uploaded onto Screwattack.com to his YouTube channel about 6 months to a year after they're originally released. Though I would also think referencing directly from his Cinemassacre channel would also work as that would be the best way to verify, as you're closest to the source. Anyways, I think I'm veering off topic from this deletion discussion, so I'll leave it at that. –MuZemike 21:25, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep – Valid spin-off list from the The Angry Video Game Nerd article. With the amount of work he has done, I cannot see this being in the main article itself. –MuZemike 04:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Extremely popular web series that has received much media attention. DarthBotto talk•cont 05:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Didn't we do this last month... what's changed? It seems like just because some people don't like AVGN (which is fair enough) they feel the need to cry "deletion" every five minute despite him being one of the most notable of the internet nostalgia reviewers. Plus if you delete this episode list you need to delete every episode list on wiki for the same reasons. AnOrdinaryBoy (talk) 13:51, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
