[edit] BattleCry
Video game article with no assertion of notability, no references. Mikeblas 11:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Well it can be referenced as existing: .com/DP/cmf/listing.cmf?released=1989, but I do think it's dubious in terms of notability. Maybe an article on the company that created it would be acceptable. FrozenPurpleCube 17:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep uh... an arcade game? An actual arcade game? Much more notable than most games that get AfD'd - this at least likely had some visibility. However, I do concur that the article is extremely low on details; if deleted now, I'd welcome it back with more details and better references. And yes, article on the company would be nice. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 06:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete no sources or assertation of notability. ffm ✎talk 13:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Moderate Keep. Unsourced articles that can be sourced are not grounds for deletion. Notability is also established by external sources. A simple Google search turns up over 750,000 mentions of a BattleCry game, although some of those hits undoubtedly access unrelated pages. Give the creator-user a warning, perhaps provide "him" some links to Wiki Guidelines on writing about things like computer games, with a chance to add some external references - perhaps some critical reviews by gaming magazines, sales (or downloading) figures, popularity among active gamers, the sort of thing one might find at, say Mortal Kombat or Sonic the Hedgehog. We should not bite the newbies when they make an article about their favorite computer game, as long as the game is available for sale or downloading by anyone, and not just made up in school one day or something. --T-dot (Talk | contribs) 16:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
