Train Sim[edit]

This new page, referenced with only sources by a single author, doesn't seem to meet the criteria for software notability (WP:NSOFT essay). A search for sources doesn't real information other than routine description in reliable sources. The one author cited (Berent, Adam), seems to be a developer for the company, posts there under Abernet, the same as the article creator here (User:Aberent). COI not declared; isn't exclusively promotional (neutral tone) so I didn't G11). Considering alternative, there's no company page (3583 bytes); there's a passing mention at Train simulator#Driving simulation (added by Aberent a few weeks ago), so I considered a merge there might be an alternative. On balance, though, given the COI, the references aren't independent of the product, which would compromise the referencing there. Klbrain (talk) 07:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
