My PROD rationale was Only finding coverage in wikis, sales sites, blogs, and web forums. Clearly not a notable pinball machine. Deprodded by Andrew Davidson with a generic rationale. I did a second look for sources, and my PROD rationale still stands. Hog Farm _Bacon 20:22, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There is a full review of Jungle Lord in this 1981 issue of Cash Box magazine on pages 37-38, detailing some innovative features of the game, including a Double Trouble drop target scoring challenge. There is also coverage in The Complete Pinball Book: Collecting the Game and Its History (Rossignoli, 2011) which discusses the game's release in the context of Williams' output, and highlights another new feature of the game. I added information to the article based on both sources. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:21, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Toughpigs is a pinball wizard – he's got such a supple wrist! Me, I must get one of those big pinball compendia but, for now, note that it was a top-selling machine back in 1981, as noted by Lodging Hospitality. For a detailed review, see Buffalo Pinball which, in summary, is great gameplay, shame about the art. And for a good technical walk-through of a rock star's customised model, see TNT Amusements.

Keep. Surprisingly, those pinballs are turning up to be more notable than me and some others thought. I think we should add Internet Archive search link to the find sources template. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:59, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to sources found and there is no appropriate merge target. Better to have a short article about this than nothing at all. Archrogue (talk) 19:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
