Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou

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 was delete all subarticles, keep parent (which is moved to Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou) in order to give time for notability to be asserted. No prejudice to re-nomination of that article in the future. BLACKKITE 02:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou

Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unnotable game, lacking in any sources beyond a Moby Games link. Seems to be completely based on the editors own views, research, etc. Since it is only available in Japanese and in Japan, it seems unlikely that either sources or notability could be established for the English Wikipedia.

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are related articles of the same series and also unnotable and unsourced.

Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou 2 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou 3 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete all per nom. JohnCD (talk) 21:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Mainichi Shimbun has a (very short) blurb which at least verifies that such a game exists and that it's a life simulator. [1] Presumably more sources exist in the form of early 1990s Japanese video game magazines; someone who's interested in this sort of thing (i.e. not me) and has lots of back issues may come along during the AfD period and point us to some articles, in which case I'd be convinced to vote "keep". There is no such thing as "notability for the English wikipedia"; if something has enough non-trivial, reliable sources with enough information to write a full article, then it's notable, period, regardless of the language of those sources. cab (talk) 00:12, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge I think that I'd vote to have all articles merged into Bakushou!! Jinsei Gekijou (series). To be honest, never heard of the game. I'm sure it is notable to some place in the world, so I don't want to be too quick to judge. Sources may exist, but only in the Japanese language. I think that putting them all in one article might be the best course of action. Just a thought anyways. DMighton (talk) 04:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. While the game was never released in North America or Europe, it probably was notable among Jinsei Game fans in Japan. Wikipedia is supposed to educate and inform people about things around the world, even about stuff that are unfamiliar to the English-speaking world. GVnayR (talk) 04:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
