No longer notable. Dead, and little information will ever be available about it sufficient for an article. Elassint Hi 17:13, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- That's just a sampling of some of them, there are a ton of other ones that can be found in a Google search. Siliconera alone wrote over 10 articles about the game. Sergecross73 msg me 17:00, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- If we really did take this approach, it seems like Keiji Inafune or Comcept would be better targets. Marvelous merely funded and cancelled it. They were the actual creators. That being said, I've added a lot to the article, so I don't think its warranted to begin with. Sergecross73 msg me 18:12, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I've given the article a complete rewrite, expanding it out of stub status using 10 sources that dedicated entire articles to the game, and that were all deemed reliable per WP:VG/S. There was a lot more known about the game than was present at the time of the nomination. Sergecross73 msg me 18:12, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- After seeing the article's rewrite, I've decided to strike out my delete vote for the article. Elassint Hi 19:15, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for reconsidering, I appreciate it. With my rewrite, and the nomination rescinded, do you have any further thoughts, Stuartyeates? Sergecross73 msg me 12:29, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
