News sources
You are asking me, “Why did I cite a video game as a reference?” I did so when talking about the national anthem of Martinique. OMGShay 92 (talk) 16:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Metamor Jupiter
You canceled my hard work on [[Metamor Jupiter]] because you want "more sources," even though I provided references from 3 magazines from two different countries, a review with screenshots of all the levels in the game, and an entry from a specialized website.
Please tell me exactly what else do you expect from a stub and I'll give you "more sources." -- Beqwk (talk) 13:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Beqwk. Your work has not been canceled or erased; it is currently in draft space at Draft:Metamor Jupiter. In terms of sources, in my opinion, the sources that you cited did not meet the general notability guideline because I only counted one reliable source containing significant coverage of the game:
- PC Engine and Chris Covell are self-published sources, which are generally not reliable.
- PC Engine Fan appears to contain significant coverage, so that would count towards notability, but I can't read Japanese, so I will assume good faith.
- Hobby Consolas and Deus Ex Machina contain only trivial mentions of the game, not significant coverage.
- I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to ask me other questions. Happy editing, voorts (talk/contributions) 15:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
