Project Powder

I'm a little on the fence about this one. Aside from the article reading like a blatant game guide (evidenced by much of it being written in the second person), the only Google hits I can find for this online-only game are blogs and YouTube. As for the references listed in the article, the second one is really instructions on how to play the game, while the first one full-on admits that it got most of its info from a blog.

Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE. Since the sources you found are (to me) unreliable, it also fails WP:RS. ArcAngel (talk) 05:01, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - what's the opinion of MMOsite.com as a source? (About Us) The reviewer is part of their "Writer's Club" but I can't fathom what their editorial process is. Edit: Although, yes, as Metro points out, this source is really just an overview and can't really qualify as significant coverage. So delete. Marasmusine (talk) 18:03, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete MMOSite has a long way to go before I'd touch it with my favourite bargepole in terms of RS, the only other source I can see is this on Massively, which is massively trivial. Lacks the depth of reliable secondary coverage needed to demonstrate notability and provide the basis for an article. The rate at which MMOs roll off the production line (and it is just a production line now) has totally exceeded the media's ability to cover them and interest in doing so, and will continue to be largely incompatible with WP.
