Redirect
edit@Sergecross73, I think the AfD established that the game is notable on its own, but the individual sources repeat themselves. There is next to no reception or development for this game and it'll likely never have the breadth to be more than a stub. I rewrote the parts I thought mattered in the List. It can always spin back into its own article if more sourcing appears. I'm curious what more discussion you think this needs. – czar 18:45, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- Well, there was an unanimous 8 participant "Keep" consensus when it was at AFD, where merging wasn't mentioned once. (Not even by yourself - you even !voted to keep.) I'm all for being bold, but I would think that a new discussion should at least take place if that was the outcome of the last time it was discussed. Sergecross73 msg me 18:49, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think it should be redirected, because "
the game has dedicated coverage from multiple reliable and respected sources: [1][2][3]. (For VG source reliability, see WP:VG/RS.) Hey, do I care about it? No. But others did enough to write about it, and that's what matters here.

- Yes, yes, I looked up the AfD when Serge first mentioned it and lo! there I was. I don't think a Keep !vote at the time precludes later action, though. So where do you think this article is going? I don't see what opportunities it has for expansion. I don't think its "controls" part matters and I don't see any reception unless we're going down the "X from Y thought the game was 'interesting'" route—not a fan. I thought my rewrite extracted anything there was to know about this. – czar 19:10, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't necessarily preclude later action, it just usually signals that it wouldn't be so clean cut as to doing it without any discussion. As for the article itself, the sources make it meet the GNG, so its really just a question of if there's enough content to warrant an article - something that's more of a subjective judgement call. I personally don't have any problems with stubs that have 4-5 sources dedicated to the subject, but I can look around and see if there's any more content that could be squeezed into the article. (As you said a year back, this also "isn't really my kind of thing" either, so I don't really know all that much about it beyond the AFD and the article itself.)
