Face of Mankind: Rebirth[edit]

Game existed as Face of Mankind, closed, announced a new game, the article was updated to match the announced name (FoM: Rebirth), and now the announced game has been cancelled. This can be rolled back to the "dead" original game and kept, or deleted--I don't see that the unreleased game has any notability. Notability for the original, closed game may be weak as well.

Keep – Albeit a weak keep. I would normally recommend deletion citing WP:CBALL, but this does have some history behind the development and eventual cancellation, which can be useful. MuZemike (talk) 23:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Or Rename to Face of Mankind and keep as a historical reference. FoM is a highly notable video game, cancelled or otherwise. -Rushyo (talk) 00:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Note that just because I nom'ed this, doesn't mean I think it needs to be deleted. I'm neutral on the matter, but think this is the best process to get consensus on this article's fate. Jclemens (talk) 01:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wasn't particular notable outside of its niche. As soon as it lost its novelty during open beta, player base plummeted. Hasn't got anything particularly interesting about it so... yeah. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 13:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – I agree with Rushyo to keep this article, this game provides some history which cant be neglected. And the concept behind the game was very unique, at least at the point of release. --Abondhal (talk) 11:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC) — Abondhal (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

*To closing admin, relist since there are only 3 opinions? --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 12:18, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Strong Keep and move to Face of Mankind. This game has far too many references (even if we take into account that most of them are from mmorpg.com) and far too large fanbase to just delete the article. We should also add something about the original cancelled game (Face of Mankind) as well. Judging from Google, the game has probably stirred too many expectations to be deemed non-notable.

Too large a fanbase? After the open beta and the novelty wore off, players started to complain about a lack of players in the forums. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 13:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to Face of Mankind Not sure why this should be deleted when plenty of other video game articles are up which are way less notable than this. Seriphyn (talk) 10:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I forget the link but that's listed as a bad argument in AFD discussions. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 11:09, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
