The result was Delete, consensus is that the article fails the notability guidelines. Davewild (talk) 10:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When I made this about 1 1/2 years ago I didn't have the Wikipedia:Reliable sources in mind. Now we know the pirated game exists but I do not see any notable coverage in reliable, third party sources. Therefore I don't think this belongs on Wikipedia any longer. I don't know if any Russian or Chinese sources cover this, but I really doubt it. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If you want to get rid of it, I guess you can, but I don' think it's necessary. WP is not paper; most video games are notable in that they've been published and played by many people. OptimistBen | talk - contribs 05:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You might want to read what our notability guidelines actually say establishes notability. --Dhartung | Talk 05:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Additionally, given what I've read of this game (on Encyclopedia Obscura, although that link isn't working anymore), I'd be surprised if many people have played it. I'm not sure it was ever meant to be released. Anturiaethwr 06:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- The link here works [1] - Get past the Chinese to see the English. BTW, it seems like an "Asian original" - Unfortunately the Red Eye link no longer works. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note to any Opera users trying to check out that link: no UTF or Western European character encoding works for it, but it shows up (mostly in Chinese, but it's there) in Firefox. Anturiaethwr 07:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, no attribution of notability to independent and reliable sources. --Dhartung | Talk 05:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. MrKIA11 (talk) 14:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - no assertion of notability through reliable verifiable sources independent of the topic. Unlicensed games typically aren't notable; naturally, there are exceptions, but this isn't one of them. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 01:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
