Maribato

I'm concerned about the notability of this game. It is dojin soft and only gets about 1100 google hits. Google hits aren't everything, (which was the reason why the proposed deletion was removed) but I believe they indicate that few further reliable sources could be found for the game's development and reception, for example. I believe the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Notability (toys and games), provides some food for thought on this issue. Malkinann (talk) 20:02, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Maria-sama ga Miteru as part of the media section. Fails WP:N on its own. Collectonian (talk) 00:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete, games aren't too hard to make notable, but it may be difficult for this one. Either keep or delete though, no merge. Wizardman 19:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I imagine that any "merge" would end up being a redirect to the main series article for reasons of notability and undue weight, with about as much detail there as for the other doujin games - a name, genre and developer. -Malkinann (talk) 01:15, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no assertion of notability aside from its existence. No apparent evidence of independent coverage by media. Google search turns up mostly forums and blogs, not reliable sources. B.Wind (talk) 04:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete. This game is not notable like Melty Blood. Zero Kitsune (talk) 02:49, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:N as it stands. I don't see any material to merge to Maria-sama ga Miteru, but that is ultimately left to the local editors. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 00:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:N, and also, the developer is not notable. This doesn't bode well for this article. Gary King (talk) 20:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
