Midnight (role-playing game)[edit]

Non-notable D&D Campaign, no evidence of notability, no refs, nada. Blowdart | ^talk 10:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It does garner some general notability by the virtue of being published by Fantasy Flight Games, which is a large and respected game company. If you do a Google search for +"Fantasy Flight" +Midnight, you get a pile of potential references and sources, including critic reviews. I think this article can be cleaned up into a good article. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 13:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Errr ... this isn't a "D&D campaign," but a published roleplaying line by one of the larger players in the industry. There are indeed references ... there just aren't any inline citations, which isn't the same thing, and which are not required in order to have an article. That being the case, there are over two hundred thousand Google hits for "Midnight" + "Fantasy Flight Games" (the publisher). RGTraynor 13:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Bundle and Renom I just spoke with the nom on his talk page. I think the rpg articles should be bundled and renommed. Currently the nom is running into issues with WP:JNN, and due to the motivations for deletion: WP:WAX and WP:ALLORNOTHING . HatlessAtless (talk) 17:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That seems fair. I did notice a bunch of game-related AfDs this morning. I then noticed that they were all published by the same company, which left the impression of being a tad POINTy. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 17:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There needs to be more reviews added. Apparently there a movie based on the game (called Midnight Chronicles) was made, but it's not clear if it was made by FFG itself. Don't know if this helps with notability. --Craw-daddy | T | 00:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Pretty notable and well-supported published setting for a major game. Every bit as notable as the countless computer game series we have articles about. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep One additional review: http://gamingreport.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=592. Further, this one is fairly well known in my experience. Hobit (talk) 13:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
