The article is not sourced. Moerover, the verbatim itself does not provide any indication of the subject's WP:Notability. Moreover, it is a very poorly written stub MountWassen (talk) 08:18, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

comment to MountWassen . sorry, i not had been add reliable source. so, i think shown this source for you. taito's inhouse soundteam, zuntata's this game soundtrack's page.

i hope you understand japanese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winbbs (talk • contribs) 12:00, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: no sources to meet the
WP:GNG... but if it's a game published in 1996 there's a good chance it's been covered somewhere. It takes a lot of means to be able to put out an arcade game and it probably got mentioned somewhere, if only in international sources. Vcessayist (talk) 00:34, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

Delete In fact, one can hardly speak of an article at all. There are headings and nearly nil information is provided, there are no sources and all the author cares to refer to are japanese web pages. This may be alright for the japanese Wikipedia, but here we speak English. That said, I very much concur with MountWassen - the three sentences of which the article basically consists are poorly written, indeed. CamillePontalec (talk) 07:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While sources in foreign languages are
systematic bias at the door. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:38, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

With no English alternatives, foreign sources are indeed perfectly fine. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 08:16, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder how this squares with your vote for delete! Your position is completely inconsitent. But please go ahead and provide an English translation of theJapanese sources! CamillePontalec (talk) 14:28, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What does clarifying details on sourcing have to do with my !vote here?

WP:NONENG was linked above that says exactly what I said. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:43, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

dear Mr.CamillePontalec, I found english review about this arcade game. english review for this game. i think this reference made proper arthicle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winbbs (talk • contribs) 10:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's a

user-submitted review, so it can't count as a reliable source. CtP (t • c) 21:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

Delete. For purposes of
WP:GNG, no reliable secondary references with significant coverage are provided and I cannot find any online. Perhaps there are some as mentioned above (being arcade game and all) and the user can userfy the article for now. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 08:27, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

Comment In its present form I am inclined to vote for delete. But maybe the auther cares to improve the article a little so that I might be inclined towards a keep? CeesBakker (talk) 10:44, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- AfD discussions are not about immediate article quality, but about topic's notability, to which there are very clear guidelines --
  WP:GNG. Regardless of how article is improved, unless there are quality references establishing notability, it is not suitable for inclusion. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:06, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply

You are absolutely wrong. As Wikipedia is not a dictionary, all articles must meet a mandatory quality to make it fit for encyclopedic use. CamillePontalec (talk) 14:25, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not wrong. Please read WP:Notability first before making personal interpretations of our guidelines. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:43, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
