[edit] PiX Bros

PiX Bros (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a video game that has no substantial information about it published in any reliable sources (those with a reputation for fact-checking). The only sources for it are either trivial listings (download sites), blog mentions (LinuxJuegos), wikis (Ubuntu Italy), or other unreliable sources (some personal Japanese website on a free web host). Even conflict of interest aside (I believe the article creator is one of the game's developers), there is no coverage from any reliable publications that demonstrates any notability or ability to fact-check the article without original research. Also nominating PiX Frogger and PiX Pang for the same reasons. Wickethewok 20:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


Hello, I'm the one who created those articles and I'm also the director of the group PiX Juegos. Also, about Conflict of Interest, I must say that we're a group that developes open source games that are published for free and we have no benefits from all this, just we want to create games for the open source community. Well, I don't understand why those sources aren't perfectly reliable. Some of them are blogs, wellknown blogs that bring PiX Juegos' page many people that are interested in those games. And also, the italian Ubuntu wiki doesn't let anyone modify it, just people from the LoCo, so I think it's not the same as any other wiki. Anyway, I wanted to demostrate the notability of the games by showing links of english, italian and even japanese people reviewing them, I think it's enough. By the way, I created those pages in order to have those games included in this list: Alphabetical list of open source games‎ Panreyes 22:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

  • I believe you are incorrect about the Ubuntu wiki: I logged in and edited an arbitrary article on it (I then reverted my change fyi), so it does appear that they let anyone modify it. Wickethewok 03:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete While WP:COI is not a reason in and of itself for deletion, these articles are nearly devoid of content and make no claims of notability. Existence is not notability. —  MusicMaker5376 20:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

But I mean, I just took PySol as a template in order to create those pages, and PySol has not demostrated more notability and it's even lees info that PiX' games. What I don't understand is that, where's the problem about leaving PiX'games pages just as they are? I'm not used to write in english, so I cannot write more info on them because I don't know how to say many things. Anyway, what I meant is, I just would like to have them mentioned in that list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Panreyes (talk • contribs) 01:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

  • So, now I see... Now PySol is also marked for deletion. Thank you "EDITORS" for destroying the english Wikipedia :P Panreyes 02:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no reliable sources - wikis and blogs don't meet the threshold. -- Whpq 15:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Recheck the pages, I've added more sources, between them are an inclusion into Debian Sid of PiX Frogger, a PiX Bros mention in the national spanish public television and links of Indie Game Showcase. I still think they were enough.Panreyes 02:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I concur that a reasonable threshold for significance appears unmet. This is no slight to PiX-anything, but the article at present fails to demonstrate PiX Bros as a notable game title. I see a lot of External Links that constitute synopses of game features, but not much else. The YouTube clip is interesting, but PiX Bros doesn't appear to be the focus. Question/Comment - Is it appropriate to group the three articles mentioned in the AfD together and treat them as a whole rather than three separate requests? D. Brodale 03:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I think the grouping is appropriate, as each article seems to have almost the same sources/listings and amount of coverage. Wickethewok 03:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
