[edit] Robotology_(game)

Not notable, fails Wikipedia:Notability_(software) --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 01:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Will most likely become notable. Metanet (the creator of this game) already has a considerable fan-base. It (the fan-base) is responsible for this lengthy article on N, Metanet's first game, and they have also created over 500,000 user maps for the aforementioned N game. -KingpinE7

• Delete Might be notable when it's released, might not be. Current article content says it's an excerpt from a forum (!?). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete please. Danny Lilithborne 01:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Ridiculous article.UberCryxic 01:53, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete For the time being, it's extremely non-notable. Until that changes, it does not belong here.--Lobizón 01:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm working on fixing it. Can't I have a little more time? -KingpinE7

• • Yes, you can keep improving the article throughout the voting period, which normally runs for five days. If you're afraid the article might be speedy-deleted in the meantime, you can use the template {{hangon}}, but nobody here is calling for that to happen. Please note, though, that it isn't the quality of the writing that is the main concern, it's whether an in-development Flash game should have an article in the first place.

    • Not a Flash game, if you read the article you would know it's in C++ and OpenGL. For the record, it is also a fully commercial game, and will be distributed with a price tag. -KingpinE7
• Delete. Anything that says "the article will be notable in the future" is crystal ball. If you want to improve the article, Kingpin, start by addressing verifiability with reliable third-party sources. Read those articles, don't assume you understand what "reliable" is because it has a very specific meaning here. The PC Gamer article is a start (if it indeed talks about the game in detail), but 1) there's no issue number or article title, that would be a good start to put in and 2) we need at least one more source.

• Delete Sorry Kingpin, but at this point, this game fails Wikipedia:Notability (software). If the game does become a success when it is released, a new article can, and should, be written, but at this point, there really is nothing remarkable about this game. It is simply one of a thousand video games under production. Resolute 04:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm working on finding that information. It might take a couple of days, thou -KingpinE7
• Weak delete. It may fail the notability test, but I think that being featured in PC Gamer is fairly notable. Shadow1 (talk) 16:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Delete, but don't salt or anything. May be notable later, but not yet. · XP · 21:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
