Full of OR, and Unreferenced since 2006 this article shows no potential on wikipedia. Fails WP: V Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:53, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. WP:OR, WP:NOTESSAY, and unencyclopedic. - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 04:35, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep obviously needs cleanup, but although sources are difficult to find, I am having some luck ([1] Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman. Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals. 2004. p. 264 [describing how the option to "continue" influenced the game design of Gauntlet]). I'm sure strategy guides or manuals for the games referenced can probably also serve as sources. RJaguar3 | u | t 05:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- See also: [2] Shanna Compton. Gamers: writers, artists & programmers on the pleasures of pixels p. 117-118 (describing how "continue" feature changed how arcade games were approached) RJaguar3 | u | t 05:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. If this is kept, it probably ought to be moved to an unambiguous title such as Continue (video gaming). My expectation would be that this should redirect to the disambiguation page continuity. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:HEY, based on sources found by RJaguar3. Bearian (talk) 01:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- AfD Withdraw with Comment After seeing the article in it's current form I am withdrawing this nom and thanking the editors who have fixed it up. The only issue I see with the article is the name and think it should be moved to Continue (video gaming) as the title "continue" alone is a word and should goto a disambiguation page continuity per Ihcoyc. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:30, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
