The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete due to lack of independent reliable sources. Most of the arguments for keeping didn't address this concern; the one that attempted to do so was refuted. No prejudice against re-creation if sufficient sources can be found. — TKD::Talk 09:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sonic & Tails Spinner

Sonic & Tails Spinner (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Is an arcade game notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article? Lacks WP:RS, all web search results mentioning this game are from Sega, the manufacturer. Nenyedi • ^{(Deeds•Talk)} 03:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Um, so what's your deletion criteria? All things removed, I'd say arcade games generally are worthy of an encyclopaedia article, even if this one is a bit stubby -85.210.30.61 03:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Worth mentioning that since I wrote the above, the nominator has expanded on their reasons without noting it, making my remarks looks odd out of context -85.210.30.61 06:40, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per above user. -Drdisque 04:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, not because arcade games are inherently not notable but because this one is not notable. Axem Titanium 04:39, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - This, just like any other article, needs significant coverage from independent sources to be notable. Corpx 05:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. This article is a great example of the argument in User:Fresheneesz/Don't Destroy. I found it incrfedibly easy to find external, reliable sources on this arcade game. I'll add the official link and a neutral IMDB like site for video game's page on this game as well to a new section on external links.

• Keep Not as notable as the Sonic video games, but notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Being veriable isn't the same as being notable. Of the two links added, one is Sega's site, so that isn't an independent source, and the other has no information on the game. Sources need to have significant coverage, not just the year. Crazysuit 04:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
