[edit] Defend Your Castle

Fails to assert the game's notability. Possible speedy deletion candidate. Same goes for Defend your castle, which was created just now with a copyvio cut and paste, then redirected to Defend Your Castle. NTK 07:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I love this game so I have to recuse myself from this vote. Alexa rating of 13,283. Half a million google hits. It also has some associated forums and a pay version. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 08:42, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • But does it have an article constructed from verifiable information taken from reliable, third-party sources, or the potential for such an article to be constructed? -- Saberwyn 10:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't think you need to recuse yourself just because you love the game, given you are a WP editor with a history, as long as you think you can make a proper judgment. But as I write below, the Alexa rank is not for the game, it's for the entire game studio's website. NTK 16:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete per nominator. JIP | Talk 11:05, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep notable flash game and sadly, we do have a lot of articles without third-party sources. Kotepho 14:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I share Saberwyn's concern, but I do believe the potential exists. That Alexa rank number is very good for a flash game, so this is definitely notable; let it remain with a {{cleanup-sources}} tag, and see if it can be improved. Mangojuice 14:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The Alexa rank is not for this flash game, but rather for xgenstudios.com's entire website. That rank, incidentally, is 13,283, which is not particularly good for a game studio. Certainly it does not make the game "definitely notable." NTK 16:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The game site is possibly notable (compare Addicting Games) but the individual game isn't notable enough to justify a separate article. --ES2 18:43, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a very popular game. I have played it before, and it is a notable game, though may not be of much use for serrious gaming. Freddie 01:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep with improvements. I came to the defend your castle article looking for more strategies and only found information that is easily found in the game instructions already. I would also like to know more information about when it started, inventor, internet pop culture status, etc.. Cha 1:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
