Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WK Studios

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 delete. Given that EmblemSaga has a very limited editing history, and their first edit in nine months was to this AfD, I'm wondering if there's a WP:COI issue there. But, regardless of that, there's strong consensus here this is WP:TOOSOON. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:15, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article is entirely premature. None of the company's games are published and the WP:VG/S RS search finds nothing on the studio. Izno (talk) 15:37, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy/Delete - There seems to be no reason to keep this at the moment, there are zero games out for the company, and can't be considered notible. It's also a stretch to have an article based on the idea that 4 games may be released at some time in the future. The fact there is one of the games on Wikipedia should be enough to talk about upcoming games. Lee Vilenski(talk) 08:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, WP:CRYSTALBALL is relevant. --Izno (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Redirect - We can change the article from the game studio to their first game. It will make then more sense. Rrp13121989 (talk) 10:45, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The game also does not display notability. --Izno (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The studio and their first game is referenced on GiantBomb, Kickstarter and RPGFan, and of course on their own homepage. Further we can wait until January 2018 before deleting this article, because as mentioned on their homepage they will present their project on Kickstarter in January 2018. Then we have definitely enough references to keep this article on Wikipedia.EmblemSaga (talk) 11:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In any case, this shouldn't be regarding the company; but the game itself, if it meets WP:GNG. The studio itself is not notable. Lee Vilenski(talk) 11:42, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- None of those sources are reliable, and two are clearly not independent. --Izno (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I probably should have referenced WP:CORPDEPTH, which this article lacks. --Izno (talk) 13:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no reliable third-party independent sources to establish notability. TheDeviantPro (talk) 23:02, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete by an appropriate variant of WP:TOOSOON. No evidence of notability for the company or the game. Zero independent sources. —Kusma (t·c) 10:59, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete -- WP:TOOSOON per review of available sources; does not meet WP:NCORP and entirely promotional. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:41, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:TOOSOON, WP:NEXTBIGTHING, WP:RUMOUR This article seems to meet all of them. Just too soon. The "company" could very well implode and the games never make it to the market. There's too many assumptions. And that's not even addressing the lack of sources. Operator873^CONNECT 05:59, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
