I couldn't find significant coverage of this game in reliable secondary sources. Delete per WP:GNG. Odie5533 (talk) 21:10, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do the GamesRadar & Newgrounds coverage not count as reliable secondary sources? And possibly the Informer page as well? TheSilenceOfNoOne (talk) 12:43, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheSilenceOfNoOne: Newgrounds, not at all. The GamesRadar one is a reliable source, but it doesn't exactly have significant coverage by current standards. We usually want to see articles which are dedicated to the subject, so that the main topic of the article is specifically the game. Top 10 lists don't quite cut it. For instance, PC Gamer publishes a "Best Free Games of the Week" article, but since it's not significant coverage, we can't just read that list and make a new article for every game on it. Also, mMany of the other sources you used aren't reliable. In the future, I'd recommend using WP:AFC to create new article so that you can get feedback on the article before it gets added to the larger Wikipedia. Additionally, if you are creating a video game article, head to WT:VG and make a post there asking if people think a given game (or topic) is notable enough for an article. I'm sure people (myself included) would be more than happy to assist in determining notability, and even help you find reliable sources to use for the article. --Odie5533 (talk) 15:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not seeing any in depth coverage of these games. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:16, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not enough information, and this flash series is not notable enough for its own article. TheRealAfroMan (talk) 20:10, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
