			== Era / 3D HD ==

			They have always been referred to as either "GTA III Era" "GTA IV Era" etc. I believe you are making an unnecessary change that will only cause confusion as opposed to making the Wiki better.<br>
			An example of this confusion is on the page for Crow, you wrote: <br>
			''"is a character that appears in the 3D Universe and the HD Universe (the GTA IV and GTA V eras)"'' <br>
			This is evidence enough that even you must clarify it as the original Eras to avoid confusion, thefore I will be reverting any Era name changes back to the previous versions until Gboyers says otherwise.

How about a discussion before you start deleting stuff? Therefore I have given you and Gboyers my reasoning for reverting your quote edits.

			Hi there i wanted to ask why you deleted the page AA-12 although it was a redirect page,
			I am asking this question because i've already asked [[User:gboyers]] about page limitations he said there aren't any.
			Please be kind to discuss this on my talk page.

	Just to clarify, whether businesses deserve their own article depends on whether '''a)''' people care & will look for information specifically on this, '''b)''' whether there is more than 1 sentence worth of relevant information, '''c)''' whether it will be linked to from many different places. If the answer to those is yes, then you can make a page. If the answer is no, then you might as well put the information into the tables of businesses in city/game/era. A-Dust is right in saying that we should try to be inclusionist and hold as much information as we can. However, if we had a page for every single building in every single game, it would be impossible to manage and maintain. I think there should be a difference between businesses that do things ingame (such as media companies or pay'n'spray), enterable shops ([[24-7]]), mentioned/advertised companies (such as [[Sprunk]]), and dud shopfronts that are nothing more than a photo ([[1 Hour Photo]]). I don't think the dud shopfronts deserve articles, and they are better off going into a table, since there is only 1 sentence of information we could ever write (games, locations, photo). Having 1000s of articles about them that are never used or looked at makes managing them a lot harder, and makes vandalism/errors much harder to find. We can still have all the same information, but put it into one page instead. No?
