Bailout! The Game[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod. Article is about a non-notable game, with no significant coverage in reliable sources. Only sources found are trivial or press releases. TN X Man 21:08, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Actually seems like a fun game, but there's also COI as the author is the creator. Reywas92^Talk 22:03, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My local TV station just covered a family in my area playing this game; I don't think that would be non-notable. It just needs a rewrite. Killer Magikarp (talk) 22:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Rewrite and keep. The article's a mess, but the subject matter meets WP:N. THF (talk) 05:54, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep bad game, but has coverage enough to meet WP:N. Added a review (which adds little to the notability but adds a bit of balance). Hobit (talk) 18:23, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I've cleaned up some of the blatant promotional language. Still needs help, but I think the COI issues have been largely dealt with. A lot of formatting help is still needed. Also note this has apparently seen coverage on MSNBC since deletion was first proposed (I didn't wait through the ads to watch the video link in the article).

weak keep But only if coi editor stops filling it with unencyclopedic promotion... the article is a mess as it stands. Teapotgeorge^Talk 23:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I've found sufficient quality refs to show that it easily passes WP:GNG, and I've updated the article accordingly. Now, if only the article creator would leave it alone… Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 09:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, an editing restriction based on COI might well be needed here. Hobit (talk) 16:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It got news coverage. Dream Focus 11:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
