[edit] JRPG (game)

JRPG (game) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Non-notable video game that lacks reliable sources, news coverage, etc... PROD removed with the edit summary, "This game is a free tool for learning japanese, and is notable because it is the only one that is free of cost and is under a free license.". Delete as lacking any secondary sources and no real claims of notability. Wickethewok 06:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • delete, no signs of being anything other than something some guy made. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 07:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, it's a interesting idea, but suffers from lack of sources and WP:COI. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 08:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Software isn't notable for being free, it's notable for being popular (which could come from being free). --frothT 13:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • delete, not notable. 87.19.32.28 17:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've seen it referenced at many online japanese learning communities, and been directly told about it by many people. Google "jrpg zabor" highlights many of those references, including reviews of the tool itself made by people who, like me, are studying the language.-- Roc VallèsTalk|Hist - 18:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Could you point out somee of these "references"? I'm looking through the google results right now and don't see anything that approaches what a reliable source should be. Wickethewok 18:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Umm. That google search gives about 66 unique hits, 17 or so are wikipedia mirrors. The remaining are mostly forum, blog, and nonsense entries. We need reliable sources to verify notability. (Notability is something that cannot be measured by an editor's testimony that something it notable, it needs to be backed up with reliable sources.) --Kunzite 18:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No indication of notability is presented in the article. It misses proposed software guidelines. --Kunzite 18:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. PresN 19:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:V. The only thing Google searchs come up with is this article, the game's website, and a ton of blogs and forum posts, all unreliable sources. Mitaphane talk 04:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless notability established. Note that the JRPG disambiguation page already covers this sufficiently. --Alan Au 19:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Usefulness does not lend it notability. Dekimasu 09:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
