Could not find any sources to add to this article that has been unsourced for over a decade. Why? I Ask (talk) 05:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It did get some news coverage, just nothing in English at all. There's an article here for example. But being an obscure older Japanese-only game that might have reviews that either disappeared due to link rot or be located in print publications makes it very hard to find sources. My bet is that it's notable but that cannot be proven so I will be neutral for now. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:11, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That source mainly discusses the variety show the game is based on, it seems. It's really nothing more than a passing mention. Looking up the Japanese title, "NHK 天才ビットくんグラモンバトル" (and disregarding the NHK in some searches), I found a mention of it being part of the Doodle Kingdom series (i.e., Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color) by Taito which seems to have garnered a bit more coverage. Maybe merge this into that or create a parent page for the series? The Japanese Wikipedia seems to do that at ラクガキ王国. Why? I Ask (talk) 07:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge based on the source from Zxcvbnm. This is a verifiable game and may even be notable based on Japanese sources. But it's impossible to write an article without reliable sources. Archrogue (talk) 14:34, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just double-checking...are we sure that this game is part of the Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color series? Joyous! | Talk 20:47, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
