Non-notable. WP:VG/SE has just one authored hit (this review). All sources currently used are either primary or unreliable. LordZangar and McRunninFly appear to be COI editors. IceWelder [✉] 17:55, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A lot of mentions in unreliable sources but little in the normal gaming press. The Metacritic page seems review bombed as well, making this even more dubious. WP:NOTADVERTISING._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:47, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I was able to find another review in Nintendojo here, which is listed as a reliable source at WP:VG/RS, but neither of the two linked discussions conclude that it is reliable, so I'm not sure if it is. There is no suitable redirect target. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m starting to think Hero Concept should be undeleted. The company has received some media coverage after it got deleted in the AfD: [1], [2]. Then we can merge the games Doughlings: Invasion, Doughlings: Arcade and Mayhem Brawler, which have also received some coverage [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] into that article. I must say that the article(s) contain a lot of unsourced information so the COI-claim might be likely. ~Styyx ^{Talk? ^-^} 20:38, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is unlikely, but feel free to draw up a draft. The company's notability shouldn't have an impact on this AfD one way or another. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 21:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I mean its kind of obvious that the games on their own are nowhere near notable, maybe combining them? I don't know to be honest. ~Styyx ^{Talk? ^-^} 21:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A listicle of unnotable games by an unnotable company would likely run afoul of WP:DIRECTORY. If you believe that the company is notable, based on the new sources, you could create a draft and we might evaluate the notability from there. IceWelder [✉] 13:12, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
