[edit] Hamsterball Gold

Hamsterball Gold (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable computer video game. The article is *entirely* original research and trivia, so much that removing it would probably be equivalent to deleting the article. It's also written like a game guide. The article consists of an intro (the only prose in the entire page), a list of levels (OR), a brief description of the levels (OR and written sort of like a game guide), a list of "Enemies in order of appearance" (blatantly OR) and "Obstacles" (blatantly OR again). Then we get down to the trivia section with such statements as:

(Would someone please clarify that statement, or am I just dense.)

and other first-person pronouns that don't belong in an encyclopaedia. Basically, this article is just too much of a mess to be saved. NF24^{(radio me!)} 12:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as nominator. NF24^{(radio me!)} 12:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • That is unnecessary and serves no purpose. This is not a vote, and the closing administrator knows that your opinion is that the article should be deleted, from the fact that you nominated it for deletion. Uncle G (talk) 21:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete The current state of the article isn't something to worry about, just light a match and WHOOMPH the inappropriate stuff. What is a concern is that there are no particularly useful sources coming up in a web search, [this blog] is hardly reliable or established. There's an editor's comment on [download.com], but it's small and doesn't help establish notability. That's pretty much it, so delete. Someoneanother 14:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I use "Kerrrzappp!" myself. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 21:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
    • That was my point in the last few sentences of the nom. If we whoomphed (or kerzapped =P) all the unsourced stuff, OR, and trivia, there would be no article left. Seriously, even the Marble Madness comparison in the second sentence is unsourced. (At the very least, all that would be left is "Hamsterball is a 3-D computer game by Raptisoft".) But, as I said, this is non-notable as well and should be deleted because of that. NF24^{(radio me!)} 21:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
