User:TJ Spyke thinks this shouldn't have an article, but I either think otherwise or believe that there is no consensus for us not having this article

I kept reverting his redirects to History of E3, so I decided to take it here for further action.. ViperSnake151 Talk 21:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep - this article does not appear to go against Wikipedia's Deletion Policy except for the fact that it might not be notable enough. However, E3 in general is a very important event in the gaming industry and a lot happened at this year's E3. There is also a lot of information about the event at the "Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009" article. Therefore, I suggest that the article be kept. [b]However[/b], if this AfD ends with a delete, I propose that the relevant section at "History of E3" be expanded to provide details on third-party companies such as EA, Konami, Square Enix and Ubisoft. It may, however, be that this information would be better suited if the event had its own article. In any case, I [b]strongly suggest[/b] that details about third-parties be mentioned in some form. --Super Shy Guy Bros.Not shy? 22:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep - The E3 event is the largest annual event in the arena of video game news, and this years being a return to previous form provided a large amount of notable information even by E3 standards. I fear merging this article would remove a great deal of relevant and useful information. (As usually happens when articles are merged). Rayfire (talk) 00:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep. A news event is considered notable if it receives significant, continual coverage in sources with national or global scope. E3 2009 undoubtedly meets all the necessary notability requirements:

:The list can go on and on. It seems that the event was covered by almost every major news organization in the world. — Rankiri (talk) 01:01, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep. An Notable event. So if one user think this article should not exist and must be deleted who do you think you are to imply your own rules?. The articles pass Notability does not fail any Wikipedia Policy that iam aware of. --SkyWalker (talk) 04:30, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep per enormity of event. Thanks for all that work Rankiri! ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 06:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep E3 2009 is an amazing event and one that should not be forgotten soon due to the enormity of its scale and there really is no reason to remove it .KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 07:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep, possibly speedy keep. One of the most notable events of the year on the video-gaming calendar. Stifle (talk) 11:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
