Articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
Optional: Please sign your request after creating it as it will help the person notify you if the article is created/the request is declined.

If you think an article about video games should be added to Wikipedia and know that it meets the inclusion criteria above, please list it below with URL links to the reliable sources that prove its notability (e.g., reviews or dedicated coverage from IGN or Polygon, but not forum posts, blogs without a professional staff, or the official website of the subject). Please do not add games or developers that do not yet meet this notability criterion, as they will be deleted; instead help us work on another current article and remember to add the game/developer if they meet the criteria in the future. Once an article is created, please remove the request. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for creation for more information on what articles are acceptable. Thank you.

If you placed a request here that was since removed, it likely did not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline, and is not a fit topic for an article at this time.

This could probably be merged elsewhere, maybe? Samwalton9 (talk) 13:20, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: @Hahnchen: I won't remove it again but instead I'll explain why I've been removing this request. Using the "audioguide+louvre" google search, all I could find were these: [7](Primary reference) [8](Press release) [9](Valid) [10](Valid). After the 2nd page all I could find was screenshots and download links. With this information, you could probably incorporate this into the Louvre article with no issues but creating its own, fully fledged article will be difficult with the current resources available. --Anarchyte 08:55, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Debatable. Their kickstarter was cancelled and it seems like the only reliable sources might be about the cancellation. Samwalton9 (talk) 13:08, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Failed Kickstarter isn't notable enough for its own article, but the company is. Probably best to have all their products on the company article. - hahnchen 12:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: @Hahnchen: I'm pretty sure you're talking about this company for "Loot Drop". Here are the references I could find using a quick google search: [35](about the failed kickstarter) [36](Kickstarter) [37](Kickstarter) [38](Kickstarter) [39](Kickstarter) [40](Kickstarter) [41](Tag). This is why I removed this request twice, I will not remove it again but instead let you decide if you want to leave this up given that I've researched the top, in full detail, now. --Anarchyte 09:02, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a japanese article and it seems like there could be japanese sources, so I don't see any rush to remove this. Sam Walton (talk) 10:22, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • UMG Gaming - New gaming league partnering with MLG and strongly supported by the community, may be hard to find information, but there are articles out there. They played part of an interesting issue with MLG shutting down their live broadcast of Call of Duty during a live event, then later partnering with MLG. Article could be tied to MLG, Bill S.978, and twitch.tv VG247 [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59]
I don't know about this one, hard to find good references. All I could find is an IGN review. Probably not notable. --Anarchyte 10:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He also created Ir/rational Redux,[14][15] and worked on Binary Domain,[16] Driver: San Francisco and Lost Horizon. Here's a ref for the nomination.[17] Develop mentions him here and here. Apparently, Rock, Paper, Shotgun also talked with him in 2008.[18] But, yeah, most of this is about his games and not about him. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 13:55, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwertyxp2000: You seem to have a draft being worked on (here). --☣Anarchyte☣ 09:56, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I kind of like stopped working on it, for now. I hope someone could just improve. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 10:34, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Currently a redirect. --Anarchyte 09:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I propose we remove all recent entries by Coin945 that only have Metacritic links. This is not an overview of games listed at Metacritic that do not have Wikipedia pages. 'It has a page at Metacritic and not at Wikipedia' is not enough to justify spamming this page with entries. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 13:11, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If a game has a Metacritic page, it means it has been reviewed by at least 4 notable critics, thereby justifying its notability. I have already received permission to add the games here. I am using this page for its intended purpose. If you want the page to be nice and short again, then I guess you'll have to start creating some of these articles... :D--Coin945 (talk) 02:28, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's more likely I'll write a script that will find every single game with four or more reviews on Metacritic that does not yet have a Wikipedia article, and then paste all those (tens of?) thousands of games here. That would be way more effective to prove my point. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 07:02, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Could you legit actually do that? It would create a huuuge list, but it is a valuable list nonetheless. It would near guarantee the creation of articles on all notable video games within the last x years without any being left out. It could be a subpage from here.--Coin945 (talk) 14:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

VG247 Review PCGamer Review Kotaku Review RockPaperShotgun Review Creator Website
A remake of DayZ built in the Doom engine. Reviewed by a number of gaming sites which should prove it's credibility. I'm involved with the project so cannot write the article myself. Thanks in advance for contributing.

I'll have to look closer into it later, but looks like there's enough for at least a stub. Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 06:30, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A game made by level 5 and is on a lot of consoles and deserves a page.

Possible, but news kinda died out outside Japan after launch. Updated to Wonder Flick R (ワンダーフリックR) in August 2014 (not separate articles please). [214][215][216] Peculiarly no JAWP article. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 15:33, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WINTREK was written in 1989 when Windows 3.1 was first released. It was probably the first shareware game to take advantage of the new MMSYSTEM DLLs, which provided audio and video hooks into Windows. Before this, Windows did not support any audio or color graphics display. At the time, the Windows API was poorly documented by Microsoft, which made writing this game a challenge. By today's standards, WINTREK is primitive in terms of graphics and special effects, but it is still a fun game to play. Source taken from the actual Wintrek creators page. It is a cult classic. [217]

Card RPG by COLOPL where player answers trivia questions to attack. Started in Japan as "クイズRPG 魔法使いと黒猫のウィズ" (lit.

[218][219] One of the top downloaded and grossing mobile games. [220]

  • STASIS (Isometric, horror adventure game by the Brotherhood) - Kickstarted in 2013, release date set for August 31. info here: www.stasisgame.com
  • Cars:Fast as Lightning This Windows Store and mobile app replaced the World Of Cars Online. It allows gamers to create their own version of Radiator Springs, unlock characters, and race others from all around the world online.
  • Jurassic Park (Sega CD video game) - The Sega CD version of Jurassic Park has its own section at the list of Jurassic Park games. This section has grown considerably as of recently. There is development info, critical reception, gameplay info, etc. Seems like enough information for an article. This makes sense (at least to me) since this game has more references than the NES and Genesis versions of the game, which have their own articles. Info for CD version simply needs to be merged to the new article. Anyone agree? 2602:306:80E5:6970:89D7:3681:D14D:9923 (talk) 16:16, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Toshihiko Nakagō - one of the top creatives at Nintendo according to GamesTM 2015-165, page 44 in a portrait on Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka: In this interview Miyamoto says "There’s another key person, a third person called Toshihiko Nakago who is a programmer and I think when you look at the three of us we’ve probably eaten half of our meals together in our lifetimes. That’s the kind of relationship we have. When the three of us come together and talk it seems like we have completely different perspectives, but ultimately we have the same perspective on what is the issue right now and what is the challenge right now. I think having the three us has been really integral and we’ve really worked well together throughout the series. 30 years!" Bonomont (talk) 08:57, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed name, noting that that is a long -o sound in Nakago. JAWP: ja:中郷俊彦 with three Iwata Asks linked inside. But with only Iwata Asks as sources it's not too strong-looking. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 10:49, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
