[edit] Space Mercenary

Not yet released game, nono-notable if it was released. Does not meet WP:SOFTWARE, also crystal balling Wildthing61476 00:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. While I applaud the article creator's honesty (by not using a sockpupput to create the article), its clear that it is intended as an advertisment for the allegedly upcoming program. It is also not note-worthy: why don't all developing programs get articles? No, I'm for delete on this one. LeyteWolfer 03:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 08:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and recreate it after the game being released. --V. Szabolcs 13:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I would recommend recreating the article only after it meets WP:SOFTWARE. Just because it is released does not make it notable. Wildthing61476 13:26, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, You've stated that this program isn't note-worthy however it is one of the very, very few Visual Basic classic programs using DirectX to produce commercial looking quality without relying on another engine such as TrueVision. That in itself is note-worthy. As obviously this is prerelease I cannot release any screenshots publically though if you believe that this project isn't actually real I can send some screenshots to Wildthing on the understanding that they are not forwarded. If you still believe this article should be deleted you might as well go ahead. --BarnabySmith 15:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment You can't verify any of this using third party reliable sources. If third party reliable sources (gaming magazines, newspapers) do write about this game, then we can recreate this article. ColourBurst 19:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above comments. Re-create if / when the game is released. Prolog 16:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. If after release it is determined that this game does meet WP:SOFTWARE, then a recreate would be warranted. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 17:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• delete per ColourBurst. --mathewguiver 21:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
