• "Robo Basho(TM) is an upcoming arcade game created in Huntington Woods resident Joseph M. Johnson's garage..." Well, at least they're up-front about being non-notable. Delete. Aplomado ^talk 01:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete Does not meet WP:SOFTWARE. However, allow me to explain the reasons why I had the opinion of weak delete. Firstly, one must take note that the above criteria is currently a propsed Wikipedia guideline. The criteria here is not yet official. Secondly, in this webpage, it is stated that the software in question would be presented around the exhibition scene of AMOA and FunExpo, which admittedly, I am not sure of their notablility. Thirdly, this article meets WP:V barely, which is an official policy of Wikipedia, thus presenting a strong case here for inclusion. However, this in itself is not sufficient condition for an article to be included here. The key statement to be considered here for this article is WP:CRYSTAL BALL. It does not meet WP:NN as well. Thus, considering all sides of the argument here, this article should be deleted. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 03:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I haven't really thought this one through yet, but does WP:SOFTWARE really apply? If you watch the news video that's linked from the page, it's not really software. It's a game that involves real robots. Sure there's software involved, but it seams to me that there's a lot more to the product. Right now, WP:CRYSTAL BALL seems to apply more than anything, but for some reason I feel awkard citing that as my main reason. --- The Bethling^(Talk) 04:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete, but only per the crystal ball policy. --Dennis The TIger 04:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete Although it only gets 20 hits on google web, it's verifiable and they are trying to get known, so it's a real shame that they haven't had any real external coverage by a news company. Notability may be a guideline, but an exciting commercial concept should be expected to at least have some covered press releases. LinaMishima 12:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
