[edit] Golgotha (computer game)

Golgotha (computer game) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A rambling article about a non-notable video game that was never finished or released. —ptk✰fgs 05:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - per nom, article virtually deletes itself. Little to no assertion of notability, fails WP:ATT and WP:N. Moreschi ^{Request a recording?} 10:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice. These comments make me feel a little better about having my prod removed a while back, but apparently the notability assertion was not related to the game's publication. I let it off the hook thinking that it might be improved, but it hasn't shown any signs of that. Dekimasuが... 13:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Is every article supposed to have a list of explicit reasons why it's notable or else face deletion? Go back to the article and look at the External Links. Salon wrote a substantive article about the company, Gamasutra conducted an interview with one of the two principle players, and "crack dot com"+golgotha scores 3040 hits. The article needs to have the prose cleaned up, but it's notable. Chris Croy 23:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep that Salon.com reference is certainly a reliable source, and the numerous other references (of varying quality) satisfy me that this game - even though it was never released - had a notable development period. --Canley 02:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, references beat the snot out of anything that should be even remotely controversial regarding WP:N Nifboy 05:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Nifboy 05:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, meets notability by having a verifiable secondary source. AntiVan 07:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep if commented on by Salon.com this should be more than enough. Crazybacon 13:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep there are plenty of sources. — brighterorange (talk) 19:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as it is well-referenced. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 01:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Well-referenced? I am still not convinced. There are lots and lots of companies that fold with a product in development. Why is this a notable game? Surely, Duke Nukem Forever has attained notability through its failure to be released, but this game seems pretty much insignificant despite linking to sources. —ptk✰fgs 03:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I remember reading an article (preview) about Golgotha in a video game magazine at the time. There were also some post-mortem articles about Crack dot Com and its games after the company shut down --analoguedragon 22:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Nom fails to assert a valid reason for deletion. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Article is well sourced, but my main complaint is that the article makes no assertion of notability. I would switch to keep if notability was made more explicit. --Alan Au 18:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
