UFO: Alien Invasion[edit]

Contested prod from 2nd June. Prod reason was: I've looked for independent references, and although there are entries on IGN, Gamespy, Strategyinformer etc these are trivial directory entries; there is nothing to satisfy WP:V or WP:N. Prod removed by an anonymous user. A note on the talk page does mention a possible reference from Games for Windows: The Official Magazine, but hasn't surfaced yet, so don't know if this is a trivial mention or not.

Weak keep, to confirm that reference. While Google searches aren't meaningful, I did notice a significant number of sites referencing that game in particular (outside of wikipedia). --Sigma 7 03:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Potential source here. Not sure of the reliability of the site, but looks kosher to me: [1] JulesH 12:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That site came up recently in another AfD. Whilst Cybrid is a staff member for LinuxGames, there doesn't appear to be any 'editorial oversight' per WP:Reliable sources. But still, it's a start. Marašmusïne_Talk 16:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; I'm pretty sure this was mentioned nontrivially in Pelit a few months back, but I can't find it from the few issues I have at hand right now... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 19:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While there are no strong sources, there are a LOT of weak ones. While this in itself doesn't justify it's stay, it is a relatively well known game among the Linux community (one of the few that are always brought up when discussing "good games for Linux"), and the project itself is of a variety that tends to get articles. Again, not that this is a justification in itself, but the article is harmless. Patch86 13:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
At the moment the article doesn't have any independent references at all. Since WP:V is Wikipedia policy, can some be found to put in there? Marašmusïne_Talk 13:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
