The Most Awarded game of all time thing
Hi there, i was checking and the witcher 3 is now the most awarded game of all time with 251 GOTY awards, the official Gotypicks page posted this morning, so i was wondering why isn't in the article yet, doesn’t CDPR deserves that recognition? anyway, i'm just a big fan of the game and i think that that mark is amazing and that it should be here, thanks in advance to the the person who answer this.

I second this, the gotypicks page is THE source for what video games win how many awards. Not to mention the last of us wiki page (the game that previously had the title, had this information also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suriranyar (talk • contribs) 21:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
http://gamerant.com/the-witcher-3-gdc-game-of-the-year/ gamerant published this article, in it says that The Witcher 3 is the most awarded game of all time. Does it counts? Because i've seen some other sites publishing that Gotypicks is the official page for GOTY awards, so i think that this proves it. EikeAmdrade (talk) 16:51, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Blogspot and GameRant are not included on the list of reliable sources for video game articles. Majority of the awards from the Gotypicks page aren't considered notable by Wikipedia either, so does that still make it the most awarded game of all time? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:13, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Dissident93, see Game Revolution, Igromania (official page on VK). Federal Chancellor (NightShadow) (talk) 09:43, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Dissident93, you have not reached agreement with other users. Do not delete reliable sources, confirming that the Witcher 3 is the game of the year in history. "Majority of the awards from the Gotypicks page aren't considered notable by Wikipedia" — If a reputable source refers to them they have importance. Federal Chancellor (NightShadow) (talk) 13:53, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Dissident93 is correct. First, none of those sources support the "More than 800 awards" statement. Second, the "251 game of the year" awards are already covered in the article. Third this is the lead, which summarizes the articles key points. Further expansion on this belongs under Reception/Awards, where again, it already exists. -- ferret (talk) 14:36, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- ferret, what does "more than 800 awards"? This does not apply to our topic. It was about the fact that he won more "game of the year" awards (251) than any other game in history. Federal Chancellor (NightShadow) (talk) 14:56, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Your edit included the text The Witcher 3 has accumulated over 800 awards since its release so I'm not sure how you don't see it as relevant to the topic. I have expanded on the 251 GOTY awards in the awards section using your sources. This is sufficient, please don't keep readding all these sources back to the lead. -- ferret (talk) 15:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, yes, I see. Sorry. Thank you. Federal Chancellor (NightShadow) (talk) 15:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

ferret, you added that the game has received 251 awards in the category "game of the year", using my sources, but why don't you let me write that "he won more "game of the year" awards than any other game in history"? About it it is written in my sources. Federal Chancellor (NightShadow) (talk) 15:28, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- "in history" is a bit too peacocky. I've made a tweak to include "the most ever at the time." -- ferret (talk) 15:32, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- At the time? But he is now. Federal Chancellor (NightShadow) (talk) 15:47, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- And tomorrow might not be. The statement is accurate and future proof. -- ferret (talk) 15:50, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Why delete GameRankings reviews?
Why delete GameRankings reviews? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.223.141.19 (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- WP:VGAGG says "Do not include GameRankings in articles about newer games." This is because the GameRankings score is usually similar to the Metacritic so it doesn't really add anything to the article --The1337gamer (talk) 15:56, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
