Clone of a notable game with no apparent notability on its own. Powers T 14:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - article fails to mention why this clone is notable. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 16:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I've added two reviews to the page, both from reliable third party sources. Llamabr (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Better, but I'm not convinced those sources bestow notability. The Tucows review is one paragraph long -- rather perfunctory. The Debian source isn't a review at all, but rather a user-submitted item with no "review" content -- just facts on Burgertime and the controls for the clone. Powers T 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable clone with no in-depth sources presented or coming up in a google search, multiple in-depth articles from reliable sources are needed. There is no indication that it could ever be more than a game listing like the ones presented as sources. Someoneanother 00:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Notability for clones are generally reserved for clones from the "golden age" (70's/80's) and early 90's that have defined notability, i.e. they have a historical context, were almost as popular as the original, etc. Modern homebrew clones are a dime a dozen, and raise IP and trademark issues. Burgertime is a currently exercised tm and copyrighted game (in fact the current IP owners have been trying to make it very clear who they are on the current Data East article). This is exactly the kind of thing the "no modern homebrew remakes/clones" guideline was created for. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 16:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails to assert any notability via reliable sources independent of the topic. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 00:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Most of the sources seem to be download sites and such. Fails WP:RS. Gary King (talk) 19:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
