[edit] Karate (Atari 2600)

This is an article about a non-noteable minor Atari game; furthermore, the only actual text in the article is a reference to a DIFFERENT article that says the game is "one of the worst ever on the Atari". On top of that, the only OTHER thing present in the article is a box that was ripped off the Atari Age website without permission. There is nothing in this article worth keeping.

• Weak delete unless the site saying that it was one of the worst games is considered a valid source. The fact that the link exists isn't a bad thing, since it backs the claim up. BigHaz 05:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment — could keep if it passes WP:NN and the POV is removed Betacommand 05:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Except for the fact that the POV is the entirety of the article (with the exception of the copyright-vio pictures stolen from Atari Age). Ex-Nintendo Employee 05:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

As far as the POV goes, the fact that it's said to be such a bad game is a fact - while if the article said "It is one of the worst games...", that would be closer to POV. As it currently stands, the article says that someone else says that the game stinks and then links to a place where someone else says exactly that. The pictures and their copyright is a different matter. BigHaz 06:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep if it's one of the worst games, I'd say that would be a claim to notability rather than non notability; If notability means goodness, Batman and Robin would be speediable. Even if the reference is removed, the game is of some visibility given the Atari source. As for the pictures, I imagine a fair use claim could be made.

• Keep, as Atari games are notable. The game is also mentioned in MobyGames. Carioca 05:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. It's labeled in external media as above for some notiriety, and merits a stub for that alone. And I hate my longing to help on AfD as it now reminded me of this thing. Ugh. rootology (T) 08:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Any game is notable....to me Konman72 10:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep for the reasons give by Rootology. 146.87.255.19 16:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, real Atari 2600 game, article is very short but fairly well written, criticism is sourced. JIP | Talk 18:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep real game for a notiable system. It may need expansion but I don't believe that deletion is required. --Edgelord 19:34, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per JIP. Expansion would be nice, but deletion isn't necessary. BryanG^(talk) 21:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've found a tasty quote from an established review site that backs up its notable awfulness, added it.
• Keep. The article could stand to be expanded a bit, but I don't see how removing this helps Wikipedia. --L33tminion (talk) 00:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Rootology and Edgelord. Joe 01:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It's notable for being really awful. It could stand expansion, though. Ace of Sevens 02:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the article could easily be expanded gameplay-wise. The image isn't a problem because it's been sourced to AtariAge. Also, DigitalPress is a notable site, so if the statement is made less POV (maybe by just merely mentioning the DP article), then that problem's solved as well. -- gakon5 13:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep this is an article about a legitimate Atari 2600 title which should be expanded over time, the criticism should be clarified that the source is DigitalPress unless multiple sources agree on this point. Yamaguchi先生 19:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per my "any game you could buy from stores worldwide (or at least nation-wide) is notable enough" gut feeling. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 19:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep there werent so many Atari 2600 games that were made, and each is as notable as a pokemon character. This needs to stay and be expanded.  ALKIVAR™ 02:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Weren't so many? There are over six hundred I think. -- gakon5 03:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• keep please if there are only 600 atari games we can document them all Yuckfoo 04:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for historical purposes. --Myles Long 17:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
