[edit] Bob 3

Bob 3 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete this non-notable future game. The sole editor seems to have a conflict of interest: Alex Gilbert (non-notable school kid)[1] and user Alex436. Its sister page Bob 2 has already been deleted by ProD on Aug. 19. This one was Proposed for Deletion, but the sole author tinkered with the page and removed the ProD. There is already a completely different game called "Secret Agent Bob 3",[2] but no third party Google hits that I can find for this one. Hu 20:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:N. Even if the COI/NPOV issues were resolved, I don't see any proof of notability. --Bfigura (talk) 21:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Im sorry about making this Artice but Im not a school boy and Im a 20 year old person and Alex Gilbert is a famous person in NZ and this is his new game out soon and I thought that this would help support him and with his Studio that has been around for 5 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.154.71.52 (talk • contribs)

  • Strong Delete Even if I ignored WP:CRYSTAL for a moment there'd still be enough conflict with WP:N to warrant deletion. First of: The "Studios" Website is hosted with a free-hoster to begin with (not something a known developer would do or even had to do - a real domain cost ~0.50$ a month. Secondly: I also develop software and judging from the only screenshoot given in the article, Bob 3 was build using a simple ready made game toolbox. I've been writing software for about 10 years now and still you won't find a wikipedia article about any of them as I know none of them are notable. Yes when I was younger (like 14) I also had "my own software studio". I can't help but to point out this, sorry [3]. 20 years old eh?

  • Delete - Article created, and game created, by amateur game designer. Probably won't be released, certainly won't get independent coverage from reliable sources. Giggy Talk 23:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
