The prod was removed by the creator with this edit summary -"do not delete/game is new and gaining popularity quickly/article will be able to be continually improved as the game continues to grow". That is exactly why the article should be deleted. It is new and does not have notability at the present time. Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 01:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Typical of GREE's approach to public relations and marketing of new games, nothing has been mentioned about this game from their official channels, but several discussions have begun, on their own forum and others regarding the game. People are searching for more information on this game, making the self-edited community of wiki the ideal location for the beginnings of a reference to a very in-depth game.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and as an encyclopedia, it only covers notable things per the notability guideline at WP:N. SL93 (talk) 01:28, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - I think it's pretty obvious (given the comment above) that this article exists to promote the product ahead of its release and the author has grossly misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia. Beyond anything else, the subject fails WP:GNG entirely. Stalwart111 01:44, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The problem is that there are no reliable sources to show that this game is notable enough for an entry. It's not up to Wikipedia to make up the difference for the lack of coverage and we have no responsibility to cover every game that ever existed. It'd be nice if we could, but we simply cannot and will not. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:43, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose that I have no true problem with this being userfied, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:43, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure if it's correctly userfied but I have read the links provided and make an attempt at it. I imagine the more cynical among you suspect I work for GREE or have some skin in this game, but I am just a paying customer trying to improve my experience with their game. I appreciate the feedback and assistance. CohibAA (talk) 02:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
