Trinity (gamespy)[edit]
Supposedly a name that users of this message forum use to refer to three of the forum administrators. Seems like extreme trivia to me. --Lee Hunter 01:39, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, it's extreme trivia, but it's still fact. And this is a reference website. I don't see the harm.

- Facts are not necessarily suitable topics for articles. Please see Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_general_knowledge_base --Lee Hunter 01:53, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect into ForumPlanet. The site seems notable enough, but let's improve its own article first instead of sowing stubs around. And as Lee Hunter adequately put it, simply being a fact is not enough to be in Wikipedia. JoaoRicardo 03:13, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect, as JoaoRicardo says. Rje 03:17, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge without redirect. This seems to be entirely non-notable outside of the community involved. (Before anyone asks, I don't think it needs an entry on List of famous trinities, trios, triplets, or threesomes, either.) --TenOfAllTrades 04:31, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect as suggested by JoaoRicardo. While non-notable outside the community, I think the parenthetical (gamespy) in the article title makes it specific enough for a redirect. --Deathphoenix 05:31, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Don't merge or redirect, and remove reference in ForumPlanet, unless someone produces some evidence that this factoid is true. Why do we have an article on ForumPlanet by the way: that is just a section of Gamespy. Are we doing sub-websites now? --BM 17:10, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Factoids (I hope these will suffice)
- Those links just show that the three login-names mentioned in the article have forums on ForumPlanet. The article under discussion claims they are referred to as "the Trinity". But, please don't go to any more trouble on my account to prove this. Even if it is true, my vote is still Delete, since the fact that three guys on ForumPlanet are referred to as "The Trinity" by the other people who hang out on ForumPlanet is not an encyclopedia topic, in my opinion. --BM 01:43, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
