[edit] Inherit the Earth

Adventure game that was, and I quote, "Not a commercial success", with a non-notable spinoff webcomic (14 unique relevant Google hits for "Inherit the Earth webcomic -geek, Alexa rank 2,137,818). Somebody keeps trying to add it to List of web comics despite not meeting the webcomics inclusion guidelines. — Gwalla | Talk 23:22, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Cleanup and Redirect. The article stub is not of a webcomic (although it does mention one), it is of an adventure game. It definately needs work, granted. It should be redirected, IMO, because "Inherit the Earth" is far too ambiguous of a page title. --Blu Aardvark 23:26, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I said that the adventure game is non-notable (it was a flop), as is the webcomic. — Gwalla | Talk 00:35, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Good point. Changing to "weak" cleanup. --Blu Aardvark 01:35, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn, possible vanity and/or ad. I don't see a basis for cleanup, Blu. -Harmil 23:47, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

• Hmm, I don't know what a game must've done to be included in Wikipedia. There are tons of articles about open source games that obviously don't are a commercial success, and it's not easy to determine if they are a success in general.. At least this game made quite an impact in the Furry community, that's where I know the game from. So.. weak keep. --Conti|✉ 01:32, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep — I played that game. It wasn't a dog, so to speak. MobyGames, for example, rates it 3.8 out of 5.[1] It's notable enough to have a page, with a multitude of google hits. — RJH 16:03, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep — I won't go as far to list every Wikipedia article of games that "weren't commercial successful", that would be a sisyphean task. I say keep because it is one of the best adventure games and because it would be the first game article that I saw to be deleted. It would be added again when Wikipedia has grown anyway, so I don't see the point in deleting it in the first place. -- Lightkey 23:59, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep on the basis of the game, not the non-notable webcomic. -Sean Curtin 06:16, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is small, but deleting it leaves no room for expansion. It shouldn't be on List of web comics, given that the article is about a game, but that doesn't mean that the article should be deleted. Perhaps it could be suggested as a CVG collaberation of the week. --Dave2 10:54, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Googling '"Inherit the Earth" adventure game' finds a fair number of unique hits and reviews, clearly the game was noticed. It sells on Amazon, so it's not underground. I think it's notable enough. — Asbestos | Talk 12:45, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
