GA Angel Soldier A - Dual Angels

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

Alleged to be A7 and G11 csd eligible, however the game itself and the material are in decent enough shape that this could be considered a good stub. I checked for a copyvio, and found the material copy/pasted from a wikia site that claims material published is copyleft, in the absence of any other compelling reason to speedy delete I think it better for the article to be afd'd for community input on the article's fate.

Delete - I nominated this page for CSD G11 and A7 since I felt it both relied on promotional content and does not have a claim of significance. All the article states is that it was a scroll shooter made in 2004, how the game is played, and an external link to a gaming website. The article does not meet the general notability guidelines and therefore should be deleted. Aerospeed (Talk) 03:21, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aerospeed, to prevent the deletion of the page GA Angel Soldier A - Dual Angels, I need anyone who can fix it, making it meet the general notability guidelines. It's not a promotion, swear. I have never experienced contributing Wikipedia since I experienced contributing Wikia. Can you help me fix it? Muhammadrizkya (talk) 21:50, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhammadrizkya: Unfortunately, we have different guidelines here on Wikipedia about what kinds of topics should be included than on a Wikia wiki. Generally, the notability of a topic is established by the availability of sources which give an in-depth discussion of that topic. If you can demonstrate that this video game has received significant coverage from third-party reliable sources, such as newspapers, books, critical reviews, etc., then you can establish the subject's notability. Unfortunately, if you are unable to find such sources discussing a topic, no amount of editing can overcome a notability issue. Advice I often give is the amnesia test:

Forget everything you know about the subject you want to write about—act as if you know nothing.
Go online and do research on the subject, focusing more closely on third-party news sources and less on sources affiliated with the subject; be sure to check the reliability of the sources (Wikia wikis and personal WordPress blogs are not considered reliable enough for Wikipedia)
From your research, and your research only, write an article
If you find that there are few or no reliable sources to use, the subject may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It did not have any meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources search. If I could find any decent source about the game, I'd consider redirecting it to Galaxy Angel, but it's not mentioned there and the game appears obscure, so delete for now. Please ping me if more (non-English and offline) sources show in the future. czar ♔ 07:26, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – I was also unable to find coverage from reliable third-party sources required for notability. Mz7 (talk) 01:23, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
