Control Monger

Non-notable. GameSpot, GameSpy and IGN show nothing on this game. It seems the game hasn't even been out for very long, as the article was previously deleted in December, when the game was "coming soon". Drat (Talk) 04:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not sure how to use this as Ive never used Wikipedia to contribute, but Id say to keep this listing. From what I have seen, it is the same as many other created games which seem to be on here. Some of which are less known, but have never been brought up on this issue. An example that came to mind was Blade Mistress, a rather simplistic FREE multiplayer game. Considering it is a free game, this entry has grown over time thanks to the players of the game.

- That other "less worthy" articles are still here is not really a good reason to keep this one, but rather suggests that perhaps those other articles shouldn't be here either.) —Wrathchild ^(talk) 13:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I get 25,000 hits on Google for the game, including reviews on quite a few game sites. Is there Wikipedia consensus that GameSpot, GameSpy and IGN are somehow "the places" that determine a game's notability? GRuban 15:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. A freeware independently produced video game is very rarely notable. Most of the hits I see for it are for download sites which list just about anything anyone uploads to them. Same with the review sites; they'll review anything. Doesn't mean anyone actually plays it. http://gameinfo.wikicities.com/ might be interested in it though. —Wrathchild ^(talk) 16:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This game does not appear to pass WP:SOFTWARE. If we could find some sources that prove its notability, I would be more than willing to change my mind. Isopropyl 20:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
