Assassin Blue[edit]

Non-notable game. Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 05:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only relevant Google hits point to Game Maker or YoYo Games. Two related sites who will cover any game made with the software. There's no reviews or other independent information, not even from unreliable sources. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete = I did search for this, and found nothing. This is a game that came out a couple of weeks ago and was developed by one person. The only Google hits are for free download sites and for Game Maker or YoYo Games (which makes Game Maker). Assassin Blue is made in Game Maker.

Do not Delete = The game's been featured on several other sites aside from YoYoGames--including GMArcade, TwilightPhantasm, and Caiman. There are fan-made videos posted on youtube, and the game has been reviewed on a few non-English sites as well: http://www.idealsoftblog.it/2009/01/assassin-blue-freeware-action-game.html, for example. It's been played several thousand times. The only reason the first page of google doesn't display more relevant links is because of a feature film with a smiliar name. I fail to see how the number of developers should affect its relevance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.146.202.22 (talk) 15:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of notability, no the number of developers isn't relevent. But neither is the number of sites the game is hosted on. Idealsoftblog doesn't look like it meets our requirements for a WP:Reliable source. Have a look at WP:N for roughly what we are looking for. At the moment, I would hav e to say delete.

The "made by one person" comment referred more to the fact that the article is being written by the single creator of the game than to any notability conferred by the quantity of game developers. This was a fault in my writing, and I apologize for the confusion. I won't correct my original comment, since that would make 75.146.202.22's reply look confused, and instead I'll let this comment here speak for me. :) Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 03:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not true, LeonsBuddyDave started the article and other members have contributed to it. I submitted some edits but I certainly didn't create the article myself, nor did I ask anyone else to. The Notability guideline seems pretty focused on having the subject covered in multiple locations, which this game is; I'd say that's a solid example of notability. Its popularity has been building and it's been played by thousands of people. What kind of "notable" site would have to cover/feature the game in order for it to be considered notable enough for your standards? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banov (talk • contribs) 19:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC) — Banov (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
