Fails WP:NOTABILITY - I cannot locate significant coverage in reliable third party sources. Airplaneman ✈ 02:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources in article (which were added after this nomination was made). IGN and Rock Paper Shotgun are both reliable sources for videogames and both have given the game significant coverage. It therefore passes WP:N. (It could use a tidy and rewrite, though.) - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:N and WP:V. Minor coverage in blogs seems to be about it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:43, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The coverage in IGN and Rock Paper Shotgun above is not minor (dedicated articles) and while both sites bill themselves as blogs they are nevertheless reliable news outlets with an editorial staff. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:05, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep What's already there would be pretty minimal alone, but there's a dirty great dump of a source on Big Download (AOL), as well as a smidgeon on Jay is Games. Passes notability IMO due to cumulative weight of sourcing. Someone another 20:15, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Exclusive coverage in RS such as IGN, and by subject matter expert Kieron Gillen. The game Iji by the same creator also received significant attention. decltype (talk) 08:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The IGN, RPS and Big Download sources are reliable and significant. Marasmusine (talk) 08:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and please ask next time. Jumping straight to the last-ditch option causes all sorts of avoidable unpleasantness. --Kiz o r 22:15, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
