- Sleuth (computer game) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
A computer game with its notability not established. Seems to be controversial, judging by the talk page; but the article has been around for more than 2 years, and it's about time to sort things out. Reasons to delete:
- Intro paragraph: Describes the game, but does not cite secondary sources. Some secondary sources were added on the talk page; but these are, as far as I understand, from web platforms with user-generated content which cannot be counted towards notability.
- Section "Instructions": Apparently a copyright violation ("transcripted directly from the game"). Even if not, a manual page and hence not encyclopedic.
- Last section: is about a board game of the same name, without claim of notability.
