Lucid9

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable game that fails WP:GNG. The cited references seem to essentially be blogs rather than reliable sources with editors. There were some mentions on Siliconera and Hardcore Gamer, but they were not significant. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 01:52, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree, the cited references do not appear to be notable/reliable. I checked on GameFAQs and Mobygames for better sources. GameFAQs has no reviews listed for the game, not even reader reviews, and Mobygames has no entry for the game at all. Lucid9 is a free-to-play fangame, so the lack of coverage is not too surprising, but it just doesn't seem to meet notability requirements.--Martin IIIa (talk) 16:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The first two review sites appear to have editors, but are minor at best. The third is probably not usable as an RS, but the article shades past just how scathing the review is. No significant RS coverage found elsewhere of 2014-2016+ development or 2016 release. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 05:00, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Fails WP:BLOGS. Unreliable sources have minor editors, rather, fans' reviews. This proves the article's section on its critical reception to be questionable, as this game isn't heard of in many gaming (JP visual novels for this case) websites. Not of any significance, also fails WP:NRV. Currently reviewing it whether it passes WP:NTEMP, however I don't see any sign it has gained recognizable notability in any given point in time.

@Democratics: Why relist if you're immediately going to make a vote that might well be sufficient for an admin to close (and conversely, if you're going to make an assessment of the AFD -- which a relist is -- then !voting on it is questionable)? ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 08:19, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
