- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus. The reasons given by the editors favouring deleting were plausible and not contested by the editors favouring retention and vice versa. As such, I find no consensus in this discussion. Skomorokh 07:24, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable indie role-playing game Airplaneman talk 21:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Non-notable as far as context goes, no references. IShadowed ✰ 21:31, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't. It isn't a role-playing game, more of a "Shooter", and it has won a "best game" award at China's first indie game festival. Several references have been added, more soon. Thank you for considering keeping it. Tell me if you have any other concerns. -Hurtz
- weak keep won a new, but real award from a 3rd party. Only worth $2,500, but still. A news report of some sort about the award or a review of the game in a reliable source (in Chinese is fine) would help here. Hobit (talk) 03:50, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. This better? Best I could get... Editinghurts (talk) 21:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. While we don't have a policy specifically for computer games we do have WP:WEB point 3 (for websites), WP:BK point 2 (for books) and WP:NOTFILM point 3 (for films), all establishing that wining a major award is grounds for notability in those fields. I would contend that this shows a consensus that a major award is grounds for establishing notability in any similar field, which would include Computer Games. The IGF China 2009 Best Game Award qualifys as a major award in my opinion. --Elfwood (talk) 16:28, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. Thank you, Elfwood. Waiting for your approval, Airplaneman... Editinghurts (talk) 21:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment sorry, I'm not an administrator, so I can't delete it or anything, just nominate. And Hurtz, I only called it an indie RPG because that is what the article said. I'm sticking to my nom as of now, though. Regards, Airplaneman talk 23:43, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This game is quite notable in the indie community, and one of the most ground-breaking games to come along in a while. I quite willingly paid money for it. Tidegear (talk) 07:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Although the game is not particularly well known outside the independent games community, it won the highest award at IGF China and it is likely that it will only become more notable as future titles in the series are released.WikiSolved (talk) 21:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok. Mods, we would like to hear your opinion so we can get this tag removed and start expanding a bit more on the article! Thanks! Editinghurts (talk) 00:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete no outside indications of notability. Shadowjams (talk) 14:18, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Elfwood. Vulture19 (talk) 03:26, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
