Fails WP:N and WP:V: non-notable game with no references based on reliable, third-party, published sources. Of the few references I can find, none come close to meeting WikiProject Video games list of sources. Wyatt Riot (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- What about that browser1.de thing in German? Anyway merge to Travian Games rather than complete deletion. Polarpanda (talk) 17:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't find the link you're talking about. I did check browser1.de, though, and the "Browsergames" link on the left leads to browsergames.de, which is basically MySpace for browser games: trivial mentions of games (many of them press releases), no editorial control, fan-submitted content, and voting. Nothing that we can build an encyclopedia around. I'd be okay with merging if we could find any reliable sources, but until we do it's still just OR.

- This is the browser1.de link [1] . There are some more google news hits but mostly in German. Polarpanda (talk) 22:12, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The review is okay (a little on the short side, not exactly trivial, but not exactly thorough game journalism either), but the site itself doesn't seem reliable. We know nothing about the author(s), editorial oversight, etc. All of the ads for downloading Firefox from browser1.de (which isn't the German Firefox page) makes me even more suspicious about their intentions.

- Delete - I've had a good look around browser1.de. There's no information on the author, or the sites editorial staff. They have reviews of 180 browser-based games, and have awarded every single one 5 stars out of 5 (even the bad ones). The reviews are completely uncritical; this is not a reliable source. With no other coverage, the game would appear to be unnotable. Marasmusine (talk) 16:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
