  • I feel that 1 this game is notable considering it won an award and its' sequel is to be entered in at least 3 major competitions. The page will be updated within a few days to note a more detailed description including screens, images, etc. currently one reputable source includes a link to the Michigan State University Webpage with a download of the game. - Page Creator—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ticktack718 (talk • contribs) 20:12, March 10, 2008

    • Does not meet A7, the criteria states that it does not cover "articles on books, albums, software". EJF (talk) 23:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, I'm sure it's a nice game and all, having won an award at Michigan State University, but Wikipedia is not really a place to promote your class project. --Pixelface (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • DeleteYeah sounds a bit like a class project. BigDunc (talk) 20:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per everybody else. If the game ever does become more notable as TickTack makes it sound, then it can get added back in. Until then... Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 21:54, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per all. The article sounds like a advertisement. Zero Kitsune (talk) 22:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No sources, no notability? I am afraid I cannot support keeping this. EJF (talk) 23:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Well, I added an Info box, more information and a few links to references such as the game engine, two of the competitions pages, etc. Trying my best to make this work- wasn't aware I would have so many negative comments about adding something. Ticktack718 (talk) 01:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I apologize. Articles for deletion can be a very hostile place at times. Many participants in AFDs follow the notability guideline quite strictly. The article looks better, but if you're one of the designers that may be considered a conflict of interest. The IGF.com page is a good source I think, but do you think there should be a Wikipedia article for each of those 125 entries? Is there something you think makes this game stand out? Has it been written about in a student newspaper or local newspaper? If you would like, an admin could move the article to a subpage in your userspace. You can read more about that at WP:USERFY. --Pixelface (talk) 03:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
