This article lacks good sources. The sources in the article are a link to the game's Steam page, several Newgrounds posts, a link to PU's website, and YouTube videos. The only reliable source in this article is a Metacritic link, and I couldn't find any articles about the game from actual news sources other than an article from Screen Rant. This game is not notable enough to have its own WP article. Billy Beagle tried to submit a page of the same name as a draft, but it was denied 3 times because the game isn't notable.

Delete Not notable, as I originally denied the draft for being. Fails WP:GNG with no press coverage._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:39, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a non-notable video game failing WP:GNG with no reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. Declined and rejected at Draft:The Henry Stickmin Collection and my argument there still stands. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:54, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - After scrolling through every result, the only third party coverage I can find is this. One article from a reliable third party source is not extensive coverage. Dark knight 2149 03:52, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think it's a shame this will get deleted. This was one of the more popular releases of 2020, with many popular Twitch and YouTube personalities playing it, but popularity doesn't mean notable. Why don't news companies cover this game? Captain Galaxy 20:04, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I suggest we find sources for the article. In the meantime the article should be reworded to reference the series as a whole rather than just the remaster. If the game is notable, it's been notable for much longer than just its 2020 explosion on Twitch and Youtube. It's been popular numerous times especially during the release of Fleeing the Complex. Development section for example should dig into its newgrounds history rather than just the day Puffballs decided to remake it. 2604:2000:1107:8A76:C018:1DDA:3566:8363 (talk) 03:26, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- We've looked for sources and found none. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 10:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Same, I tried to make this article last make month, but couldn't because there were zero reliable sources available, not even on Metacritic. CaptainGalaxy 10:27, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - We can probably just write a draft using Newgrounds/Twitter posts from the InnerSloth team. PuffballsUnited, ForteBass, Aemuu, etc. and then wait until we can find a reliable source to verify enough of it. I do feel like this is notable enough to warrant a page, and if we want to make a page about the InnerSloth dev team we should also have a page about Henry Stickmin. 2604:2000:1107:8A76:C018:1DDA:3566:8363 (talk) 15:14, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - It's been over a month since release. If sources haven't covered it by now, there's little chance they will later. This isn't some hidden gem or cult game, it's just another indie game (series) that did alright. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:19, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Same could be said about among us, but it has a page. We could say it's just a fad that'll die off soon. There are plenty of games that youtubers and streamers play en masse then they forget about it in a couple of months. Happy Wars is virtually dead and still has a page. 2604:2000:1107:8A76:6C1C:71EA:2DE6:80FD (talk) 17:01, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Well, whether or not a game was popular and then dies off, it still WAS popular and trending, making it history. It's kinda like deleting an article about Grover Cleveland because nobody cares anymore. Le Panini (talk) 13:39, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm going to try to find sources to this before it gets deleted. Arsonxists (talk) 15:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        We should focus on some Henry-Stickmin related subjects, like Innersloth, which may just be a good candidate for an article. Arsonxists (talk) 00:26, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        There is a Henry Stickmin wiki. Might be a good source. Billy_Beagle
        The wiki is not a good source. News articles are good sources. Chrisnait (talk | contribs) 16:10, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sources found. I'm going to try to create a page about Innersloth tonight, because maybe that will be notable enough to warrant a page on Wikipedia. Draft:Innersloth Arsonxists (talk) 00:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think the article is notable,but it needs sources.--YerelDahi (talk) 19:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Draft namespace. Presently, sources do not indicate it qualifies for an encyclopedic article and likely fails WP:NVG. It could be improved by providing secondary sources which make it notable for its own encyclopedia article. Eye snore 16:04, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
