- Delete For lack of RS coverage. What is a provided is a school newspaper and the Dove Award's website's own list of winners. I'm not sure how significant worship song of the year is, but it is different from song of the year, which possibly makes the difference between the achievement being notable or not. But it still doesn't compensate for lack of coverage. ShelbyMarion (talk) 06:27, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. In a way, Neale looks less notable than the Dove Award winning song he co-wrote. The references are about the song, not the author and don't provide in-depth info on Neale. (And it's not like the song is über-notable either. The Dove Awards are not the Grammys.) Pichpich (talk) 22:44, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what to do with this but my instinct here is to delete. This is an article about an election that might have taken place had John Ratcliffe gotten the job as Director of National Intelligence. He did not and his name was only floated for a few days before Trump changed his mind so I suspect that nobody actually spent much time in preparation of this non-existent election. (Note that Ratcliffe never resigned his congress seat) Pichpich (talk) 22:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete I don't mean to say this to pile on, Dbwarrak, but I have to point out some problems here. The first edit, and the version of the page as it stabilized after its first few edits, stated
"Incumbent Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe resigned when he was appointed"
to the position of DNI. There's two major inaccuracies there. First, Ratcliffe never resigned. There would be no reason for him to resign, unless he was confirmed to the position, which was never close to happening. Second, he was never appointed. Nobody can be "appointed" to a cabinet-level position. Trump announced his intention to nominate Ratcliffe, but had never submitted a formal nomination to the Senate. The current version of this page still includes this "appointed" inaccuracy. Less significant, but also an inaccuracy, is that the article implies Coats has resigned already, when he's still in office today. He submitted his resignation, effective August 15.

The result was delete. This article does not stand the proverbial snowball's chance. Whilst the discussion here was going on, the article subject was editing it via multiple accounts, now checkuser confirmed, with promotional content and falsified sources. (I checked several of them out. No such articles had been published, let alone mentioned this subject.) Autobiography, blatant self-promotion, falsification of content. It's only not copyright violation as well, the content coming word-for-word from the subject's self-promotional blurb elsewhere, because clearly the copyright owner was providing xyr own autobiography.

- DeleteApologies a bit new to this, but I will remember to sign off correctly and try to adhere to convention. This article was originally created by a PR company and in my opinion, based on the entries made, it has been used primarily as a PR vehicle for some time. It has been repeatedly been subjected to additions from anonymous contributors which have placed uncited references ranging from the subjects net worth to recent activities, mostly with the same grammar and syntax. That is not, however, the main reason to consider deletion. A previous contributor raised the question of notability and reliable sources. I am sure the subject is a decent, worthy and pleasant individual with very postive objectives, however, this is not a "notable topic which has gained significant attention by the world at large". It would be fair to suggest that many people in UK business are CEOS, many have won awards at the hundreds of award ceremonies in the UK, and they do not appear within Wikipedia. The other key players within the subjects organisation do not have Wikipedia pages, and yet they seem to contribute just as much to the organisation's aims.
"Wikipedia is not a promotional medium" and from the outset with this article created by a public relations company, I would suggest that this article has taken the form of a promotional article. It has had no sourcing, or mainly poor sourcing, with little if any reliable secondary sourcing. To summarise current 11 sources of reference, three are aligned to companies house information, one from youtube, one from UK newspaper The Telegraph, and the rest appear to be online comments. Whilst the subject has some worthy aims in the broader context of UK business, digital business and young people entering the workplace, I would suggest it is not notable and a re-read of the current article and the now-deleted additions, it has the distinct tone of either self-promotion and/or publicity, without real notability.

There are a few passing mentions around, but nothing really in depth. Most of the refs aren't very good- of the present 11 sources, two are articles written by the subject themselves, 3 are primary sources from Companies house and a notice of liquidation; the two "awards" arent really notable, and are sourced only to the companies giving the awards (subject appears to also be a judge on the panel for one now?)

Weakdelete - This is most of the Britannica paywalled article which is the article's sole reference. From what can be read there it's unlikely Falkie/Van Ren Atoll is mentioned in the 26 words that are still unavailable. This bigger text about Shortland Islands again doesn't mention anything called Falkie or Van Ren. Additionally, the Japanese name ("Keinain-shima") doesn't sound very plausible to me.

- Keep - As stated, the nomination does not give a valid argument for deletion. This is a fictionalized version of a supposed true story, and thus does not fall under the guidelines set under WP:FRINGE. In addition, the argument that the article "gives no hint that the subject's communication is not legitimate" is not a valid argument for deletion, as that, if it is a problem, could be very easily solved via normal editing. Regardless, searching brings up plenty of sources discussing the film, so it is clearly notable. Rorshacma (talk) 16:17, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]

- Speedy Keep per WP:SK#1, no valid deletion rationale has been given, and no one other than the nominator has recommended deletion. NFRINGE does not say that]
notability of fringe subjects must be established with sources skeptical of the fringe view
. It merely says that fringe subjects are held to the same notability standard as everything else: they must bereferenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers.
It does say thatreferences that debunk or disparage the fringe view can be adequate
, but in no way does it say that they are the only sources that count. Therefore as long as the movie has received sufficient coverage (of any kind) in reliable sources, which the nominator does not argue against, the article should be kept. The sources currently in the article perhaps aren't the greatest, but those plus TV Guide, NY Times, LA Times plus many others are more than sufficient. CThomas3 (talk) 17:00, 6 August 2019 (UTC)- From notable enough for a dedicated article if it has been referenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers." Unskeptical sources are not "serious and reliable" and the sourcing here is not "extensive". --Wikiman2718 (talk) 17:12, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]
- WP:NEXIST. Further, NFRINGE makes no statement of any kind that "unskeptical sources are not serious and reliable." in fact, it states practically the opposite: "references that debunk or disparage the fringe view can be adequate" (emphasis mine). This most clearly implies that non-disparaging sources can also be adequate, thus fulfilling the extensive, serious, and reliable coverage requirement.I appreciate your passion in ridding Wikipedia in all things fringe theory, but this is a movie, created for entertainment purposes. That is how each of the sources I listed reviewed it. They did not critique the fringe theory because they did not consider it a serious attempt at promulgating it. CThomas3 (talk) 18:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]
- @WP:FRINGE: "References that debunk or disparage the fringe view can be adequate, as they establish the notability of the theory outside of its group of adherents." This seems to indicate that a fringe topic has to achieve notability primarily through skeptical sources. The next sentence reads: "References that are employed because of the notability of a related subject – such as the creator of a theory – should be given far less weight when deciding on notability." So unskeptical sources can contribute, but should be given less weight. Here we have no skeptical sources, which I think is too few. Furthermore, my reading of the sources led me to believe that they did not critique the fringe theory because they believed in it. I think the reviews would have looked very different had the truth come out. Not that it matters much, though. It looks like I'm going to lose this one. --Wikiman2718 (talk) 19:00, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]
- Wikiman2718, I know we're getting down in the weeds here and I apologize for that. My reading of as they establish the notability of the theory outside its group of adherents is merely the reasoning as to why debunking/disparaging sources are acceptable, not some kind of statement that only these sources can be used. It's saying that disparaging sources are acceptable because they are independent of the group of adherents. But it doesn't exclude all other independent sources just because they aren't disparaging. I agree with the next sentence that "references that are employed because of the notability of a related subject – such as the creator of a theory – should be given far less weight when deciding on notability." But that says nothing of independent (i.e., specifically not related) reliable sources (like the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and TV Guide) that don't actively criticize the subject. Now if you were able to show that these were favorable reviews written by someone with a tie to the theory, then you'd have something. But as long as they are independent of the subject and published in a peer-reviewed publication with a strong reputation for fact-checking, they are good to go even by NFRINGE.

1) "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created." → one mention by SPIN is not multiples, the others are in the context of reviews of the album.
2) "Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." → I don't see how can anyone expand this article.
3) "Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award. Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups." → Once more this is not the case.

- Keep aside from Spin, there's some decent coverage outside of album reviews at HotNewHipHop, which was generally deemed a credible source here. I certainly would prefer more non-album reviews, but it's enough to warrant a separate page (even if just barely). On another note, awards (or lack thereof) don't affect song notability; WP:NSONGS says it's a factor that potentially could "suggest that a song or single may be notable enough that a search for coverage in reliable independent sources will be successful." That's not the same thing as a guarantee. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:33, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - I'm really a total outsider to this conversation - I know nor care nothing about Kanye's music - but I am a regular editor of song/album pages and thought I'd offer up my opinion in this discussion. I stumbled here through the disambiguation page for "Never Let Me Down". While I agree that this song doesn't meet some of the criteria (it didn't chart, for example), I think that the accolades section is probably enough to save it - no less than 3 specific articles singling out this song among Kanya's best. The notability requirements only say that there have to be "multiple" articles, and that's ignoring the other ~25 sources used to source this otherwise well-written, reasonably neutral and informative article. My vote is to keep it. 87Fan (talk) 00:17, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Not enough coverage on the song itself; most of the content is part of articles either reporting about or reviewing the parent album.

The result was no consensus. I see there are two distinct AfDs for this page and Fiona Hamilton-Fairley, the CEO of this institution (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fiona Hamilton-Fairley). However, the coverage is clearly overlapping, and arguments for standalone notability become weaker when there is a closely related subject with overlapping coverage. Arguments are being made at both discussions to redirect or merge, but these depend on the fate of the other page. So, I recommend both these articles be considered together, so that the totality of the coverage may be considered in a single context, and all the possible outcomes (from zero pages to two) may be examined. Therefore, this is a no consensus with no prejudice against immediate renomination. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:19, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

- No, not a single source meets the criteria for establishing notability.

Similarly the Belfast Telegraph article has no independent content and simply publishes quotations from Hamilton-Fairley.

I doubt any modern sources that take this view -- I remember reading about the treaties of Tordesillas and Saragossa in an Irish state-sponsored middle school history textbook, so the view that the Catholic church at that time was supporting Spanish and Portuguese imperialism is certainly mainstream, and certainly the somewhat-polemical writer still often cited as a scholar Lafcadio Hearn felt the same [his chapter "The Jesuit Peril" available here leaps to mind] -- even mention this person, which presents a POV problem.) According to our article on beatification (not an expert myself)
Since the reforms of 1983, one miracle must be believed to have taken place through the intercession of the person to be beatified
, the implication being that before that point anyone could be beatified without there even being legends that they had performed such-and-such miracle. The assumption that beatified individuals are noteworthy is based on the assumption that beatified individuals have received a lot of coverage in reliable secondary sources, and while this may not be thoroughly disproved by the fact we have lists of Japanese martyrs from the early Edo period, almost none of whom merit articles because almost all of them are just names about whom we know almost nothing, the burden is still on the party wishing to maintain a standalone article to demonstrate that such-and-such an individual is notable enough for an article despite being just a name about whom we know almost nothing.

*Keep https://www.lakedistrictwildlifepark.co.uk/news/beast-resurfaces/ mentions it, and how long its been around. People were drawing pictures of it over a century ago.

- Back in 2017, do you mean? The Lake District Wildlife Park's article about a school project quotes as pretty much its only source of information the source that we already had here (Jacobsen 1973) which does not say anything about an "Eachy" at all. As I pointed out above, Jacobsen states xe was "never been able to find out what it was". Xe is not actually documenting anything, indeed not even putting forward a hypothesis, apart from the fact that xe took a photograph and never found out what xe had photographed. We've basically got only the Fishing Gazette (with the skin-divers from Sellafield) and Jacobsen here, and people who regurgitate them. The latter puts forward no hypothesis, and the former says that there's likely a "monster pike" in the lake. We don't actually have the original sources even claiming this notion. This is not a documented part of human knowledge, because the documentation does not actually say this in the first place. Uncle G (talk) 21:33, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
***"Bassenthwaite Eachy’, including copies of Victorian images and photographs & newspaper reports of this Beast of Bassenthwaite Lake from the past 50 years,".

Environmental job
An unneeded fork of Green job with no evidence that the term "Environmental job" is in any way notable. The listings are arbitrary and the sources do not link the careers described back to the term Environmental job. Velella Velella Talk 09:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

- Keep In my opinion an Environmental job is different to a green job. A green job suggests the job is in a sector dealing with sustainable energy. An environmental job however does incorporate fossil fuel industries such as Fracking. Seasider91 (talk) 15:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- That's not entirely true, though, based on our own article on Green Jobs, which cites several organizations' definitions of green jobs, which include a wide range of jobs that have to do with other industries that are unrelated to sustainable energy. Most sources I've found, including the one or two non-job posting sources in this article, use the term "green job" to refer to many non-energy related fields. Rorshacma (talk) 15:57, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment may I also add that part of my reasoning for nominating this is that I was unable to find a RS for the title "Environmental job" except in a most informal use, as in banner headlines in the popular press. For this to be notable, the subject needs to be notable in itself, and there needs to be notability about what is included in such a list. So we also need RSs saying "such and such a job is an Environmental job". Without this, the inclusion of any job title is a matter of opinion. This is clearly already evident from the current state of the article. So........I accept that the term is used, especially informally but to satisfy Wikipedia'a notability criteris I could not find RSs for either the title or the contents. Velella Velella Talk 10:26, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to WP:SYNTH. As the nom stated, very few of the sources actually refer to the jobs as "environmental jobs" outside of reference number 4, and the creator just took sources on a bunch of individual jobs and tried to combine them into one concept that those sources do not actually support. That said, it does appear that "environmental job" is used as a synonym for "green job" occasionally, so redirecting this to the better article as a plausible search term makes sense. Rorshacma (talk) 15:47, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]
- Merge/redirect I don't think simple descriptions of various occupations makes for a very good encyclopedia article; green job could certainly cover some of this since it could use more context of examples of green jobs. Otherwise this is largely synthesis. Reywas92Talk 19:33, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect with possible some material merged. This is not a defined topic by itself. DGG ( talk ) 23:08, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

- The topic is notable. For example there have been books devoted to the topic The Complete Guide to Environmental Careers in the 21st Century, The ECO Guide to Careers that Make a Difference, Green Careers: Choosing Work for a Sustainable Future. Also in reports such as those produced by Universities The Guide To Environmental Careers In Australia and Research Organisations Careers In The Environment the concepts of environmental jobs and environmental job titles are cited.
- Reliable Sources (RS) were originally used in the form of Australia Government Websites Australian Government Job Outlook, US Government websites The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Also, well-respected print and news organisations such as National Geographic and CNBC and reports such as those produced by Universities The Guide To Environmental Careers In Australia To further address the point raised about RS more sources have been (and will continue to be added by COB on 16 August 2019) added in the form of descriptions of job titles from Universities, for example, The University of Queensland and The University of Melbourne
- To address the point that a list is not appropriate for an encyclopedic article almost half of the example job titles do contain extra information about these environmental jobs and as per the promise to provide more RS information I will furnish the rest of these 'common environmental job titles' (quoting GCA listed above) with additional information
- To address the point raised of the sources not being reliable sources because they are traced to jobs. No actual job listings have been used, but some job website's definitions of different accepted environmental job titles (as defined by the RS's listed above). This has been done because of their function, these organisations understand exactly what environmental function these individuals perform (or will perform) in these organisations and therefore, even though their organisations are commercial in nature they do undertake invaluable research into these areas. An example of such research is this generic salary guide Australia Salary Guide 2019
- To address the point raised wrt 'it is not defined topic' - this isn't referred to in Wikipedia's deletion policy and therefore I can try to surmise that it refers to notability which I have addressed above
- Regarding the point raised that 'very few of the sources refer to actual environmental jobs' one of the sources used Environmental Sustainability Jobs does provide the reader with numerous examples of environmental job titles so they can answer the question 'what kind of environmental jobs are there' This information itself refers back to numerous environmental job titles. More RS have been added to the article on 8 August 2019 RMIT research and GCA research ((cited above))
- Regarding the point 'simple descriptions of various occupations doesn't make for a very good encyclopedia article' this system is also used in the superb Green Job (an Article which I have recently added to for the benefit of the Wikipedia readers). In this article, for example, different countries environmental economies are summarised and different US administration policies are summarised. Detailing out what different common job titles would mean day-to-day for the reader if they chose that occupation (or for someone wanting to learn more about what differing occupations do) is in the same vein and providing invaluable knowledge on a topic which is notable and has reliable sources and information.
- I apologise it will take me a week to provide extra information, I am an environmentalist and I spend the majority of my time doing volunteer work. Next week is a busy one for weed volunteer work, hence the delay in providing more information in order to ensure this meets the wishes of the well-respected editors.
Thank you for your assistance. Cheeka19 (talk) 07:39, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

- Thank you Velella and everyone else for helping me with this article. I have now added 20+ RS in the form of
- news articles,
- journals and
- books to complement the already included reliable sources from
- government publications,
- government websites and
- university publications which are listed on career information websites.
- Regarding the merge suggestions
- I chose to do a separate article in this area rather than edit the Green job article page (as I have already done on the Green job page with some more recent statistics) for a number of reasons:
- The Green job page has a reliable source for the definition of a 'green job'. However, a definition for the term 'environmental job' does not exist from a RS as required by Wikipedia policy
- The Green job page focuses more on 'macro' aspects of the green / environmental job market in terms of what different countries have strengths in and a description of current and historical policy in the United States
- I felt an article more focused on some of the more common / fastest growing environmental jobs throughout the world would be really useful to those considering a career in the environmental industry and would enable people considering what environmental jobs are possible to undertake some invaluable learning in this area
- Internal linking is recommended in Wikipedia and I felt things would be clearer not combining a 'micro' based career article regarding what different environmental professionals do day-to-day witn a macro based article focused on countries and policy as a whole.
- Thanks again to everyone for your assistance
- I sincerely hope you choose to Keep this article as there isn't currently anything on Wikipedia with this particular information, on this notable topic, with the requested reliable sources, that will enable readers to learn about what different environmental jobs exist.

- Keep Zigma, the over-categorization provision at WP:DP applies to categories, not articles. It cannot be logically applied to an article. I think you're suggesting this should be merged into the larger article as it is a sub-event of the larger conflict. However, it is ordinary to create articles for components of a larger subject, such as battles within a war or even charges within a battle, provided there is sufficient verifiable information to support a stand-alone article. GreatCaesarsGhost 11:47, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]
- Strong Keep: This bill is very significant, Even in the stage of bill it has it's own political and diplomatic impact. With all due respect, Nominator's comments stating "The bill itself may seem a big issue today but in the matter of few week all that left important is what bill does." is just an assumption. Bill was introduced amidst large mobilization of army, house arrest of former chief ministers of the state, making Non-Jammu & Kasmir residents leave the state, and lot of such pre-match. It stirred a lot of reactions both positive and negative from international & diplomatic sections. Pakistan parliament had an emergency session to condemn introduction of this bill.

- Strong keep Notable major event in a critical and controversial area, with significant coverage in reliable sources. The article is appropriate to capture the event and developments related to it. I expect there to be great interest in this bill and a separate article that is able to explore the details and ramifications will be of value to our readers. The other articles that were suggested for the content are already lengthy.

I prod'd this with the following explanation: "Despite the Telegraph obit, and the interesting job, there isn't really a claim to notability, and I can find no other sources with the exception of one website that is clearly a mirror of this very page." However I then realised it was previously prod'd (by an IP) and de-prod'd (by DGG) back in 2011, so bringing this here instead.
To add to my comment in quote marks above, in response to the original de-prod explanation, I don't see anything even in the obituary that indicates notability. It's a fairly brief summary of a career that is certainly interesting and unusual by most standards, but doesn't seem notable as such. Hugsyrup 14:45, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- As I said back in 2011,"seems notable to me based on the ref. First look for other sources, & if not found, only then nominate for deletion. See WP:BEFORE. ".

On the contrary, policy states "people are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources...".

- There may not be a policy, but it is still an established practice to keep anyone who has an obituary in a major national newspaper. This has been accepted many times at AfD. After all, if a major national newspaper considers someone notable, when they publish obituaries far more selectively than we have biographical articles, who are Wikipedia to not? -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- This supposed "established practice" is unsupported by policy or guideline. I would agree that in the vast majority of cases, where there is an obit in a major national newspaper, then there would almost always be additional coverage elsewhere.

- Just because a consensus is not written into a policy does not make it any less of a consensus. Wikipedia is not bound by set rules. It has been held many times at AfD that an proper obit in a major newspaper is sufficient for notability. That equals consensus. Whether you want to ignore consensus or not is pretty irrelevant. And people do not get obits in major national newspapers out of the blue. The staff don't think, oh, let's just run an obit on this completely non-notable person because we feel like it today. They run obits on them because they are already notable. They run obits on a far, far smaller percentage of people than we have articles for. That should be a pretty fair indicator that a person is notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)]
- "Just because a consensus is not written into a policy does not make it any less of a consensus." Actually, I think it does. Policy is an established consensus by a large number of editors, over a substantial period, with lots of people weighing in, debating it, and fine-tuning it. Changing it usually requires considerable debate and will attract numerous points of view. It can be found in clearly labelled locations, I can review exactly what it says, and if needs be I can directly challenge it and suggest changes to it. Compare that to a supposed consensus based on how some AFDs have been closed in the past. We don't know how many editors contributed to those, or how many other AFDs may have had an entirely contradictory outcome. All we do know is that no one seemed to think it was important enough to write it into any actual policy pages. I'd compare it to the difference between the constitution, and a few results in a lower court. I'm not saying it's not real, it's just not a particularly good argument.

- From the comment that you removed here I gather that you have a WP:PAID. Nevertheless I look at you source and it is affiliated because Green Lauch is using a US army facility and the source is a US army publication. The source does not help going towards showing notability. Dom from Paris (talk) 06:01, 31 July 2019 (UTC)]
- I was inspired to approach wiki by Quick Launch who had a similar technology but now hibernating and never had an operational system for testing. Obviously Project HARPwas notable, Green Launch is the current embodiment of the HARP approach to space access.

This page does not seem to establish notability. Only one of the sources here is actually reliable and I haven't been able to find anything else about it - Google simply brings up unreliable sources, pages for an unrelated Namco arcade game, and stuff about World War II conflicts.

- Keep Old school games from the 8-bit era - particularly anything that came out for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, or BBC Micro - are almost always notable because they will have been reviewed by at least two different magazines given the prevalence of computing magazines at that time. Whilst the usual sources for reviews came up blank due to a lack of this game being ported over to more popular platforms, I do see one review in a book covering retro games: 1. The Moby database lists a 3/6 review from TeleMatch in July 1983, which is not exactly helpful since TeleMatch (a German magazine) did not have a July 1983 edition (it was a bimonthly magazine) and there was no such review in its June/July 1983 edition, however a little searching showed that it had a review of this game on p.31 of its August/September 1983 edition. Conclusion: two reviews in reliable sources, and as such, notable. FOARP (talk) 07:58, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

- Two multi-paragraph reviews would be considered sufficient WP:RS.
- The early age of gaming is, if you'll forgive me a slight exaggeration, of similar significance to the early age of film and as such each game from that era has some significance. WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES does not apply where there ARE sources. FOARP (talk) 11:09, 8 August 2019 (UTC)]
- I'm gonna have to agree with Jovanmilic right here. Wikipedia isn't a database for all video games, that's what Killer List of Video Games or other database sites are for. While I'm glad you've found sources for it (and rather surprised), I don't see how it's enough to warrant the page being kept. Maybe you can change my mind on it? Namcokid47 (talk) 16:40, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
- The sources weren't easy to find, but they are significant coverage in reliable sources, written decades apart. That's a pretty strong indicator of notability and meets WP:GNG. One even points out that the game was the first to feature a particular functionality. FOARP (talk) 18:34, 8 August 2019 (UTC)]

- The book review is not a single para, since there is preceding information on p. 32.

- PS - one further RS review: TV Gamer, Autumn 1983, P.20. Took a lot of finding as had to go digging through magazines that aren't text-searchable and which often aren't logically arranged (e.g., games aren't in alphabetical order) and it's not clear when exactly during 1983 this launched (appears to have launched at different times in different markets, and reviewer copies seem not to have been sent out at the same time).

- The article still lacks a development section of sorts, which imo should be needed for any and all video game articles. Namcokid47 (talk) 15:11, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- I am not sure a development section is necessary for the article to exist, any more than a section on the recording of an album or the writing of a book is a must-have, but at the very least we know who the developers were (Bomb) and where they were from (Asia). The lack on a section about the development of the game is ultimately a page-quality issue and not for AFD. All that's really necessarily is that it should pass WP:SIGCOV from at least two magazine reviews and a book as well as the reliable source recited in your nom.
