[edit] Gizmondo games

Articles about apparently cancelled Gizmondo games, created by Nextreme (talk · contribs); originally nominated for speedy deletion. Little to no references (just an outdated link to screenshots at Games Asylum, another broken one to Warthog Texas [I didn't find any mention of the games using Internet archive], with a Youtube demo video in one of the articles). I am nominating the articles for deletion due to notability and verifiability concerns, but making no vote myself; consider it a procedural nomination. - Mike Rosoft 20:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete all - independent sources are needed to establish notability, for instance reviews in significant magazines saying these are good or innovative etc games. Bridgeplayer 21:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Johnny Whatever The game created far more buzz than any other Gizmondo game, released or otherwise, as it was set to come out on the home consoles and the demo/preview featured a number of notable artists (i.e. The White Stripes). See, for example, the coverage done by IGN ([1]) and GameSpot ([2]), the latter of which did previews of both the console and handheld versions. -- Kicking222 21:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Johnny Whatever: This one had the most (and most relevant) hits on this google search. ~ Magnus animum ∵ ∫ φ γ 01:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep all When it comes to conole games, being unreleased is not necessarily grounds for deletion. All of these got some attention in mainstream gaming publications, and I recall seeing screenshots for at least some of them. Needs cleanup and expansion, not deletion.

  • Merge all into List of Gizmondo games, as it is unlikely these articles will ever be de-stubbed unless another company purchases them. --Kralizec! (talk) 15:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge I am with Kralizec!. Merge it into the List of Gizmondo games Slavlin 17:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
