Solid Runner (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Obscure, non-notable video game. Next to nothing for Google hits [1], no reliable sources. Fails WP:N, WP:V.  RGTraynor  11:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete It is not a notable video game. We simply cannot have a Wikipedia articles on every video games. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 13:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Wikipedia is supposed to be about learning new things (even about stuff that is completely unfamiliar to an English-speaking audience). If you go to Google Japan instead of the standard Google, you can find more information about the game. I often find that there's more information about Japanese video games on Google Japan than there is on the "regular Google." GVnayR (talk) 15:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - There is strong evidence reliable print sources exist for every super famicom game released. ~I cannot read Japanese, so it will be hard to search for myself, but I do know this trend. User:Krator (t c) 16:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep- I am the creator of this page. While this game may not be notable, neither are pages on many of the games listed on here. We don't try to delete those either. mattiator (talk) 20:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Actually, yes, oftentimes we do when we find that the articles lack reliable sources and the subjects lack notability.  RGTraynor  21:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. If we go by Google Japan, then only 1680 hits are yielded for "ソリッドランナー" (the title of the game). Of these, the majority (I dare say 1650+) are from blog, fan-, or commercial (shops) sites that easily fail WP:RS. Of the remaining potential sites, they are little more than profile pages. I failed to find sites that have information on development or reception. Unless reliable print sources are brought up, I fear looking for online sources is a dead end to keep this article.
