I'm concerned that this game doesn't meet GNG - there is some pretty standard coverage on mobile-gaming-specific sites, as you'd expect, but nothing to indicate any artistic merit or critical acclaim, or any form of real impact. I'm sure it's quite a fun game, but I don't believe it belongs here. Horst.Burkhardt (talk) 03:14, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

• Delete First of all, analyzing the references in the article:
  • 1 While it is a "coverage" from a reliable secondary source of the game, it certainly is not a WP:SIGCOV since nothing in depth about this game is mentioned except the pricing (worthless encyclopedia wise) and difference from Doodle Army 1. But it's not a passing mention either, so it's kind of in between. Meh.
  • 2 No idea what is this supposed to be since it brings me up to log-in.
  • 3 Passing mention by name.
  • 4 A fan website. Enough said about the reliability.
  • 5 Firstpost here. Good enough source, not that much in-depth, but can be used to write something.
  • 6 Appmodo is a blog as it says on the front page, making it not reliable.
  • 7 An unreliable website citing summary of the game, making it WP:PRIMARY as well.
  • 8 Not a WP:SIGCOV, even before we enter the talk whether it is reliable or not. "Best multiplayer games" title does not give me confidence about that.
  • 9 Same as **4.
  • 10 Unreliable source per WP:VG/RS.

In my WP:BEFORE search I found this on The Daily Star (Bangladesh) https://www.thedailystar.net/shout/app-review/doodle-army-2-mini-militia-1461607 which is not WP:SIGCOV (3 sentences, 1 of just reciting what the game is about, 1 that the player has a jetpack and 1 that it is fast paced (which is subjective)) before the "you will be terrible" part) as well and apart from that, all either unreliable sites or blogs. For now, unless someone else finds another I lean to delete based on failure of WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in independent reliable secondary sources. Gaming reliable websites largely ignored this game, and that is probably not just because. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
