Stick Arena[edit]

No real assertion of notability for this game, plus no sourcing. I took a look for reliable sources discussing it, and couldn't find any. I'm sure it's fun, but it just doesn't seem notable or encyclopedic. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 19:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Two third party sources listed in article. Here and here. 137.164.234.136 19:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of those meet our policy on reliable sources. We need something from a newspaper or a magazine, or if you have to go to internet sources, something along the lines of GameSpot or IGN. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 20:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You mean like this: this orthis? 137.164.237.40 20:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sort of, but not exactly. Those are reader-submitted reviews; what we'd need are reviews/articles by paid contributors to the site, like this IGN one for Syphon Filter, or this GameSpot one for Pimp My Ride. Basically, something with some degree of editorial oversight. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 22:07, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's an entrant to the Independent Games Festival. See here. Between that and the other stuff, I think it satisfies notability. 137.164.234.104 23:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it were a winner (or even a finalist) that would certainly help, but it looks like there are quite a few nominees in any given year. As such, I'm not sure how good an illustration of notability that is. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 13:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Found another source. This one is by Channel 4 137.164.234.104 23:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That one might be helpful. Could you add it to the article? I would, but you seem to be more familiar with the game than I am, and as such would probably do a better job of it. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 13:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I know that I'm only an anonymous user, but I have contributed much to this and other articles. This is a notable game. As the other anon user pointed out, Channel 4 has reviewed it, the same channel 4 that has primary disambiguation. It has been an article in a Chicago newspaper, it is an entrant in the Independent Games Festival, and it has been reviewed on several other sites. It has over 170,000 google hits. [1]. It has also been proposed for deletion once before and was found notable. 12.218.153.85 05:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a minor clarification here: It was never nominated for AFD before. It WAS prodded once, but that's a different process, and all that's needed to avoid deletion in that case is for someone to ask that it be kept. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 13:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No reliable sources, no article. It's that simple. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Noticable enough. --Martin Wisse 17:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. It does seem as if it has reliable sources... Ab e g92contribs 17:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - per as above R_Orange 18:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep seems to be sufficient sources but it must be sourced within the article better. JodyB_talk 00:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
