I believe that article was incorrectly deleted, and as such, have moved it into the Article Incubator (at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/GoPets). Any help you could provide with sourcing would be greatly appreciated. - Philippe 04:08, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Gryphoness, if you need help with article formatting or sourcing, just say the word; I'll be watching this talkpage, so just drop a message here and I'll get to it. All the best, Ironholds (talk) 06:10, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you both kindly!! Philippe, I greatly appreciate the restore. I'll pile up references here. I seem to recall that there were pictures on the old page? Are those permanently gone? I can probably dig up new ones -- do you happen to know the protocol for establishing rights/usage for products that are no longer active? There are screenshots available in various places on the internet; I also still work with the rights holders to the GoPets assets, so could document permission if that would be helpful.

I think small images would be acceptable, but only if necessary (see fair use) - would you like me to look for some more sources? I've got full access to LexisNexis, and it may have some news coverage. Ironholds (talk) 06:10, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
