Regarding Deletion Template[edit]

As Cliff Bleszinski's first game (and the reason he was hired at Epic Games), I believe Palace of Deceit deserves an entry. It may not have changed the course of history, but it was a first step in a successful career and should be documented as that. Just as Ken's Labyrinth was not an earth-shattering game, it was a stepping stone for Ken Silverman, who went on to develop the Duke Nukem 3D engine.--Tagenar 05:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't really see the comparison. There is one non-Wikipedia (or mirrors) Google hit for this game. I agree it deserves coverage in Mr. Bleszinski's entry, but I don't see the independent notability. Erechtheus 05:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Just because Google has forgotten the game doesn't mean Wikipedia should forget it, too. Search Dare to Dream while you're at it; you won't get too many hits related to that game either. A Wikipedia article can keep an obscure piece of history from being forgotten. Somebody looking for information about the game will be thankful for a wikipedia article about it.

There was already a wikilink to Dragon's Plight in Bleszinski's article, which told me someone else wanted more information about the game, too. There is no "coverage" in that article; there is an empty link to it and passive mention of it. I just filled it in. It's part of Cliff Bleszinski's history. It was the first game he designed, which makes it as notable as Dare to Dream (his second) and Jazz Jackrabbit (his third).

I suppose the article could be merged with Dare to Dream's entry (the gameplay sections do overlap), but it doesn't seem necessary as they discuss two different games. Odds are someone else will come along and recommend the article be split. And it doesn't belong in Bleszinski's article because it's not about the man himself, it's about the game.

If someone else recommends Dragon's Plight be included in Bleszinski's article, or merged with Dare to Dream, I don't mind doing that. The information doesn't need to be deleted!--Tagenar 18:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
