Notability is lacking. The game ranked #14 on a download list; a couple of people in the game world have mentioned it and there have been a couple of reviews, not in top sources. Such a requirement would be met by thousands of games. Essentially the coverage is not significant in the context of computer games. However, this could be established if better sources were found, or some award won. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 21:06, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This could be examined in light of the previous nominations, which I wasn't aware of when nominating. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 21:07, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, covered by IndieGames.com, a subsidiary of Gamasutra, Kotaku, and TIGsource, one of the biggest indie game sites out there (if that isn't an oxymoron...). I didn't realize sources had to be "top" in addition to reliable, but those certainly qualify. The article may have been deleted before but it certainly establishes its notability now.

Keep: Well covered by third-party sources, and quite a notable doujin game. Since doujin games in Japan are akin to indie games in the West, and that the actual identity of the author is unknown (it's even disputed as to whether he's actually still alive), your demands for "awards to prove notability" don't quite make sense to me. I think this may relate to WP:Systemic bias; there are no "awards" out there for doujin software; the Touhou Project danmaku games haven't won any "awards", are they non-notable too? -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 02:23, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Though it appears to contain its fair share of OR, I believe it is actually rather well-sourced for an indie PC homebrew by an otherwise non-notable creator. Kotaku, GamerTell, IndieGames as well as a few independent but otherwise semi-reliable reviewers all establish more than sufficient notability in my eye.Salvidrim (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:23, 17 October 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Keep because of the sources in Kotaku, IndieGames, and Derek Yu writing in TigSource. It's also mentioned in PCGamer, but I don't count that as supporting notability. --Odie5533 (talk) 06:11, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
