[edit] Truck Dismount

Truck Dismount (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable computer game. The aim is to "...cause as much damage to the ragdoll physics man as possible". Probably fun, but not inherently notable. Only vaguely reliable source is an interview with the creator, which has a passing reference to the game. Bfigura (talk) 04:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Does return a few hits, but doesn't appear notable enough for its own article. PeterSymonds | talk 10:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. MrKIA11 (talk) 13:29, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It was covered by Game Tunnel (cited) and Computer Gaming World [1](short piece), as well as part of a game exhibition [2]. That doesn't smack of non-notable. Because of its nature, this article could be merged into an article on its creator (along with Stair Dismount, also reviewed by Game Tunnel [3]). That'd leave an article with a lot more credibility. The games do seem influential in an increasingly recognised sub-genre, see Pain (video game), it would be a shame to lose them instead of combining them. Someoneanother 16:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Two other items which would benefit a group article: Stair Dismount 2 is due out soon, Stair Dismount was one of the first games to incorporate ragdoll physics as an integral aspect of play. Someoneanother 03:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, very notable, this game was everywhere just a bit ago. +Hexagon1 (t) 04:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per someoneanother. Notability is not lost just because a game is forgotten. SashaNein (talk) 14:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
