[edit] Halo Zero
This game has not been commercially distributed. It is not particularly popular or notable as a non-commercial game. It has not been recognized by the developers of the actual Halo series or otherwise promoted in the mainstream gaming press. There has not been a controversy around the game to make it notable in that respect. It is made using a game creation engine, so it is not technically notable in terms of its own engine or assets. While there is no fixed criteria for game notability right now, it seems pretty likely that Wikipedia should avoid listing these sorts of projects. Stump 23:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The game itself is a copyright violation, it's major notability will come in the form of a C&D letter from the Halo copyright holders. Burzmali 00:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Halo (series), in case of copyvio issues in future etc. Giggy UCP 04:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - no significant coverage discernible. Oppose merge as there is no reason other than speculation that it will attain notice due to copyright issues. -- Whpq 16:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
As far as I'm aware, permission was granted by Bungie for the project. Also, it was notable enough to get a feature in OXM, with a video featured on the disc. It has had over 100,000 downloads from download.com. since when is 100,000 not notable? Keep this article, your reasons for it's removal are incorrect.
