A Reliable Source?

I'm calling into question the online interview with the CEO of this company, the last listed source. I read the article, the man is clearly biased and convinced that his company is different than other businesses of the same specialty, and his analysis doesn't seem very factual; more ideological, and ideology isn't meant for an encyclopedia. This is just voicing a question and concern, not trying to incite an argument, thanks. What makes that source encyclopaedic?

Your evaluation of the source is essentially accurate; it's an interview with the company's CEO, so naturally much of its content is promotional. I've limited the use of the source to only one claim of fact, which I added recently to replace an unsourced claim that Gamestop is the main competitor. I'll try to find a better source, but failing that, I would have no objection to removal of the source (and the sentence it is being used to support) from the article. – Black Falcon (Talk) 22:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unlike most video game franchises, Play N Trade accepts almost any trade, irrespective of age or console compatibility. As a result, the inventory of their stores is quite diverse, ranging from old Atari games to Xbox 360 & Wii titles.

The citations tag could be removed though. Look at the discussion from the deletion page though - it is clear that one of the issues here is pov.Daniel()Folsom T|C|U 20:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, how about the new version. I rewrote the first sentence and deleted the second. -- Black Falcon 21:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I completely reworded the questionable pov and the pov template, and I added a cite needed template. Looks good.Daniel()Folsom T|C|U 22:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just edited the page to show current sales figures and stores open for business. ~Mp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.89.164.130 (talk) 22:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
