Borderline, but I don't think it meets WP:NOTABILITY. Last AfD had little participation and was no consensus. Boleyn (talk) 15:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - Through Metacritic, I found a number of reviews, including from GameSpot and IGN, Official PlayStation Magazine, and others. I've added some of this in for now. I think there's enough here to warrant a keep. Red Phoenix ^talk 19:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Red Phoenix, it's not the same game here. The article talks about the game released in 2003 in West, the one you are refering to released in 2001. It is a bit confusing, but per List of Choro Q video games, there are three games all named Gadget Racers for the English version (two released for GBA and PS2, one in 2001 as Choro Q HG, the other in 2002 as Choro Q HG 2, and the third for PS2 only in 2003 titled Choro Q HG 3). This article is about Choro Q HG 3 as the article says. GameSpot review is about Choro Q HG (1st game). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 20:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What manner of ridiculousness was the developer thinking? That's not just "a bit confusing", that's significantly confusing. In which case, delete. I repeated a BEFORE check and can't find anything for a different Gadget Racers, and I don't see the search term as plausible. Red Phoenix ^talk 20:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per my argument above. The first AFD had it all wrong. The sources found back during that time were for a different game released in 2001 of the same name (which is obviously notable and should have it's article). This game is a sequel to Choro Q HG 2 (also titled as Road Trip Adventure in North America), so there is a potential to expand it with a sequel section. But, the English version of this game, Gadget Racers, released in 2003 (Japan in 2002 as Choro Q HG 3), so the redirect would be useless. My head hurts trying to clear this mess up. This game fails WP:GNG for the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources, wasn't able to find anything. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 20:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, Red Phoenix, and Jovanmilic. Putting aside the stupidly-confusing problem regarding its title, the game does not offer any significant coverage from reliable sources. I can see this being a brief mention in the article for Choro Q HG 2, but not as its own article. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 18:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
