Cyclemania[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Almost no information on page, one reference. Although a Google search will give multiple hits, most of the pages are blank or say that there is no information on the game. Delete per WP:GNG. Jucchan (talk) 23:25, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Computer Gaming World published an extensive review (two and a half pages long) of the game in its January 1995 issue (see pages 161-164). Mobygames lists seven other magazines which published reviews of this game. Admittedly copies of the listed issues may be a bit difficult to track down, but it does appear that sufficient WP:RS exist to satisfy WP:GNG. --Mike Agricola (talk) 02:16, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Video game popularity in the pre-Internet era is difficult to track, but this game was distributed internationally, and got certain impact (and relevance)--El Pantera (talk) 11:30, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: OK, could someone add to the article so it has some information on it? Also, the link to the Accolade article goes to the article about knighthood. Jucchan (talk) 21:36, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The traditional meaning of accolade refers to a ceremony conferring knighthood, so that's where the Wikilink directs because that's presumed to be the most common use. However, there's also a Accolade_(disambiguation) page which includes a link to Accolade (company). --Mike Agricola (talk) 23:47, 27 December 2012 (UTC) EDIT: I found the time to rewrite the article using Computer Gaming World as a reference so that it's now a "proper" Stub. The Accolade link now directs to the game company, not the knighthood ritual. It still needs more references, so I added the "single-source" tag. Hopefully someone can access some of the other magazine reviews listed in Mobygames. --Mike Agricola (talk) 16:23, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
