Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Portrayal of women in video games
I saw this notice at WT:GS|Project Gender stdies.  This is an interesting topic, it'd make a great book or article or thesis.  However, this is not what wikipedia is for.  Wikipedia is not here to publish any piece of research.  WP is here to record notable phenomena, their histories and the reliably sourced, notable views on/about them.  "The portrayal of women in video games" might make an interesting section in Video games but it is not notable enough for its ''own'' article.  Also everything in this piece is original research e.g the piece about rape in Japanese games - its horrifying, and from what I can see about 177 (video game) its true - but we have zero reliable sources and zero verification of it.  Wikipedia articles are not judged on their merit as interesting areas of research or on their truth value - they're judged on how well |verified they are and how |notable they are.  This article has no verification and very very limited notability.In short if anyone can find the book, do the research and write a NPOV piece put it into Video games, but this article has to go
