The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep under the "bad faith nom" clause, even though the nominator actually recommended deletion in good faith. As noted by several users below, an unreferenced article should not be deleted once it becomes known that references are available. Non-admin closure.

Unreferenced for about 1 year CruftCutter (talk) 23:23, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep It's one of a well known series of video games, just because it's unreferenced doesn't mean it should be deleted. RMHED (talk) 23:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, invalid rationale. This is a very notable video game series, I'm sure references exist. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 00:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, AFD is not cleanup. sh¤y 00:30, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep unless you think that the other 15 Madden games with their own pages should go too. That debate could be had here, but that's not why its nominated. It's nominated because it needs cleanup, and frankly that's not a reason for deletion.--CastAStone|^(talk) 01:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep Being unreferenced for a year is not a valid reason for deletion. Rray (talk) 02:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep There's a world of difference between unreferenced and unable to reference. Game Rankings has two (very) notable magazine scores on file for this game (Electronic Gaming Monthly and another magazine), there are doubtless other magazine scores lying around somewhere. Just by copying and pasting the name of the game into my search bar I found this 1up article. It's a notable game in a notable series published by a notable publisher under a notable license...

• Keep Article can easily be referenced, nomination was inappropriate. Bleeding Blue (talk) 04:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep and close per SNOW. Baegis (talk) 12:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - almost definately notable - page needs a complete overhaul but that's not what AfD is for. [[Guest9999 (talk) 12:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)]]
• Speedy Keep protect from renom. Macktheknifeau (talk) 13:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
