[edit] Popmundo
AfDs for this article:
Largely unreferenced (WP:V), and there are no independent references (I removed various dead links to the "unofficial wiki" and to a closed Fotolog account which I presume had a scan of what was claimed to be a Spanish Rolling Stones article.) The multiple, third-party, reliable, non-trivial coverage required for WP:Notability guidlines are not present. Marasmusine (talk) 14:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game related deletions. Marasmusine (talk) 14:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable, does not differ from random browser based game #35566. User:Krator (t c) 11:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, The site did have a scan of the Rolling Stone article. Just because a game isn't in every major gaming magazine doesn't mean it's not notable. If necessary, I can rewrite the article. Much of the information comes from the game itself, so if a rewrite is necessary if this survives AFD, I'd be happy to write one. Morhange (talk) 01:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Here's the link to the article translated into English: [1]. My concerns are: It doesn't explain who translated it, and multiple sources of coverage are preferred (Wikipedia:N#cite_note-4 suggests that a mention in a broader article may be suitable.) Marasmusine (talk) 09:27, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Weak delete - the rolling stone article begins to help, but I'm not sure that the translation is reliable. and I don't think one article is enough by itself to demonstrate notability. if someone were to find something else, I'd welcome them to re-create the article. But I have to lean towards deletion. Randomran (talk) 05:40, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Lacks multiple sources to establish notability. A single magazine article does not give broad enough scope for a video game - at least two are needed for the reception section, without which these is no article, merely a game listing. To this day nobody has stepped forward to fill the gap in MMOG coverage in-print and on-line, until someone decides to do so it will continue to be easier to source an article on the average flash game than a considerably more complex MMOG.

- Comment - Here's a news segment that was uploaded to Youtube. Dunno if this helps, and I can't speak Spanish (I think that's the language) here Morhange (talk) 20:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
