[edit] Super Cosplay Warriors Ultra

Anime fan-game. Fails WP:SOFTWARE; 19 Google hits for "Super Cosplay Warriors Ultra", all of them anime forum posts. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 07:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Also now nominating

• Super Cosplay Wars Ultra

as this article appears to be describing the same game. Googling this name gets 630 hits, all of them either mirrors of the Wikipedia article or more forums posts. –NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 05:49, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Funny title at least. Recury 14:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• clenaup. Strictly speaking, the game is a dojin soft, which probably falls under Wikipedia:fancruft instead of software. This game is also somewhat popular among Asian (especially HK and Taiwan) countries. (34800 hits for Chinese name "超級Cosplay大戰U".) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SYSS Mouse (talk • contribs) .

You mis-report the google hits. There are only 340 unique hits out of the 34,800. Most of those are forums and blogs. --Kunzite 02:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Delete What does dojin mean in English? It basically means "vanity press". (i.e. In Japan the term is used to refer to amateur self-published works, including but not limited to manga, novels, fan guides, art collections, music and video games. Some professional artists participate as a way to publish material outside the regular publishing industry.) Should wikipedia keep articles about small self-published works? It depends who wrote it. If Jun'ichiro Koizumi were to publish a dojin fan manga, it would. But if Taro Yamada (山田太郎, Yamada Taro^?) with his friend Hanaku... not really. This is unsourced, original research on a self published work that is not suitable for Wikipedia. To top that off, there are 19 English google hits and 340 hits with the Chinese name. It's not a keeper. --Kunzite 02:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, although I agree with Recury. At least the title elicited a smile. :) <-- See? Smiling. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 08:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - per Kunzite. Wickethewok 20:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I started the Super Cosplay Warriors Ultra page and realised that I got the name of the game wrong. Super Cosplay Wars Ultra is the correct name. However, I question whether the 'Super Cosplay Wars Ultra' should be deleted. I'll admit, as far as I am aware, the game has a small englsih speaking fanbase, but game is wildly available for download on English game sites (for one unverified source on download statistics check http://www.caiman.be/gamestats.asp?nr=1528) and the wiki article is about the only english guide around (few exceptions). That's my opinion anyway. Lenny_Reason 9:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment It may have a fanbase, but as a Fighter Maker-created fan game with few English articles about it, it fails the WP:SOFTWARE guidelines for notability. Additionally, Wikipedia is not meant to be a guide for the game, since Wikipedia is not a game guide. —NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 00:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
