179:.tSR has also had it fair share of notice from professional development groups. The lead animator of BioWare (Creators of many large scale games) has said on many occasions that he uses the site for references and inspiration for animation styles and such like. It cannot be denied that tSR has had a large impact on the spriting community as well as the gaming world in a whole. Not only that, but the artistic community, and even marketing. On several occasions I have seen sprites used as advertisement in small independent retailers, and when asked, mentioned tSR.
242:. Last year there was 4 Business Studies essays based on the independence of tSR, and the way that it is maintained and run privately and through a community. This is information is only found through the fact that I received 4 emails from teachers, checking on the details given of the business. I believe that if there are people who can hand in information on the business for school work that gives them a qualification, I think it deserves a Knowledge (XXG) page.
215:.I support the deletion of this article. Knowledge (XXG) is something which a grade 6 kid would look at for information for his school project, or where someone needs reference material for a survey or experiment, or something out of plain curiosity. There is no actual practical value of the knowledge of a pixel art archive on wikipedia, the tSR article only had been created solely for the purpose to flex its muscles.
140:. Well, it certainly isn't non-notable, but it isn't notable either. The magazine credited them for using the sprites, which in itself might be trivia, but look at it in a different light. The site is noticed and known by Nintendo. It is respected enough to be used in the magazine. Surely it doesn't constitute a gigantic article, but a reference is a reference.
134:. Why delete it? It might as well be here for its popularity and since there's so many articles on Knowledge (XXG), having a page like this isn't hurting it at all. Even if the article shouldn't be here, what are the chances of it getting noticed by many people anyway? I say it should stay the way it is.

The
Spriter's resource has become something of an internet thing, much like 4 chan. Go to most, if not any low scale game making or developement forum or site and you will clearly see many things linked to TSR. Go look at Nintendo's official forum, game makers official forums, and gamespot. All three

to the spriting article, and mention it as an external link. Though it is useful, it's not famous enough to merit its own article. Well, unless you find more sources, that is. I'm not opposed to an article, but by

website that has nothing to assert any possibility of improvement. Its claimed references in a magazine are nothing more than small credits at the bottom of a page that used sprites, which is nothing short of trivial.
191:. As much as I love TSR, I feel it is not noteworthy enough to warrant an article. I have seen many more popular and important websites have their pages pulled, so I don't see why this site would be any different.

I have found numorous links to TSR, and while online forums are not considered sources, they can be used to show signifigance. Running a google check will show several pages of references to the site.
