Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kitten Cannon

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was close, with 8 delete and 4 to keep or merge (some doubts here about whether to count Alpha269, a glance over his contributions list shows his account to be created March 6, and edits are exclusively to AFD voting, but I'll count it). Kappa presented some arguments for notability of this particular game, based on the fairly high number of Google hits so I won't delete it here. The suggested merge target is something along the lines of list of flash games. At the moment we don't have such a list, so I will call this a no consensus keep for now, and slap on a merge tag. The article may be renominated if such a list is not forthcoming. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kitten Cannon

Delete - Seemingly random and unnotable Flash game - Fuzzie 21:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - There's about half a zillion Flash games. If we include this one, where will it end? Bz2 21:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Merge or otherwise redirect, to a list of Flash games describing the basic types. There is a catergory for 'Flash games' already, so why not some sort of article? There is a browser-based games article, but as it stands, it just seems minimal to me. Or perhaps make it an merge it to some article on the game type? It's certainly a common and long-standing archtype. Or redirect to an article on the creators, if they are somehow notable. Mister.Manticore 18:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

As Bz2 pointed out, there are innumerable Flash games. What we need to ascertain is the notability. It is not possible (or recommended) to list all of them. -Ambuj Saxena

This would be why I suggested an article on the archtype, which is a widespread one, though I'm uncertain of what would be a good name. Ballistic-shooting game lacks panache, but it's the best I can come up with. Or on the authors, if they're somehow noteworthy. Mister.Manticore 20:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep or merge, flash game with 334,000 google hits. Kappa 03:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Including 666 unique, which is a high number [2] Kappa 03:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - I'm kind of reluctant to get rid of this, yet I understand the problems behind having an entry for every flash game. Therefore I propose we merge it into a list of flash games. Babij 07:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - Per above. -- Alpha269 00:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
