Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Video games

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Video games. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Video games|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Video games. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Delete: No hits on this person's name, only variations of the first or last name. I don't see any confirmation of his career. Oaktree b (talk) 15:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails notability IgelRM (talk) 09:31, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and Video games. IgelRM (talk) 09:31, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:PROMO - Five of the six sources are his own website, or otherwise interviews with him. A web search brings up Beatle George Harrison, but not this guy. The 2014 AFD on this (two keeps and one comment) failed for lack of response: . — Maile (talk) 14:45, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Harry M. Rubin

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

Upon review of article and its sources, the person in question does not meet the notability guidelines in question: the person is not (1) cited by 3rd party sources other than websites that repeat his bio as an official founder of Samuel Adams beer (2) known for originating a new concept [see point #1] (3) become a significant monument, etc. (4) He is not cited as by peers and 3rd party sources for the work that is well-known or significant. The article was written by a blocked user and could primarily serve the purpose of self promotion as defined in WP:NOTADVERT. P3D7AQ09M6 (talk)

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Food and drink, Video games, Entertainment, Games, California, Massachusetts, and New York. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is just a CV. No notability. ApLundell (talk) 05:01, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If deleted Harry Rubin (virologist) should be moved to the base name since Harry Rubin redirects here.--67.70.101.117 (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Folks, My apologies, I actually meant to nominate Harry Rubin (virologist) Late night editing got the best of me. Upon a 2nd look at this article in particular, I found new reputable secondary sources to that show indeed this Harry Rubin was indeed a Samuel Adams co-founder. I'm closing going to close this deletion nomination in favor of doing some work to improve the article itself. P3D7AQ09M6 (talk) 04:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe delete both of them.

Being a minor, behind-the-scenes partner of a business does not make someone notable.

Atelier Double

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

Defunct game studio originally created as a sub-stub, was unable to find any sources in an online and VG magazine search. Fails WP:NCORP. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Companies. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 10:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A list of games, virtually no encyclopedic value as is. IgelRM (talk) 09:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IGN Convention

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

Fails WP:NEVENTS, only lists 10 sources, half of them are YouTube. The notability tag was put in 10 years ago, no fix till now. MK at your service. 11:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games, Comics and animation, Events, and Middle East. MK at your service. 11:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to IGN#IGN Con - plausible search term, and has the sourcing for a mention, but there's no need for a split with such a short (and sloppy) article. Sergecross73 msg me 15:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Per Sergecross. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Sergecross. There are some sources here but it's short enough that it would be better as part of the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:21, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vector Unit

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

Fails company notability, all primary sourced or an interview. IgelRM (talk) 19:14, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games, Companies, and California. IgelRM (talk) 19:14, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Their name doesn't make it easy to look for sources, but I can't find significant coverage of note. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Look, I loved Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and I'm surprised how there's little-to-no coverage on its developer. All I found were primary sources, and I searched archive.org too, couldn't find anything. MK at your service. 15:52, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Based on the current article and WP:BEFORE searches, I don't see how this can pass WP:N. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Darkworks

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

Not finding evidence the company passes WP:NCORP; the only sources around, even in gaming magazines, are trivial mentions, corporate announcements and interviews. Almost everything about them is in the context of the Alone in the Dark reboot and I Am Alive. Was created by a WP:SPA and of unclear notability since then, suggesting some level of WP:SPAM. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Companies. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of France-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears relevant for Video games in France: Gamekult" "De "Alone in the Dark" à "I am Alive" : la malheureuse histoire de DarkWorks", "Cinq studios français allient leur force", "Antoine Villette", thegameeffect: "Behind the Scenes: I Am Alive's Development Disaster", Libération. IgelRM (talk) 14:36, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare - none of the sourcing meets GNG/WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why redirect to Alone in the Dark specifically, e.g. Cold Fear also got an article. Maybe to a section about the I Am Alive development troubles on Video games in France? IgelRM (talk) 09:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Herald (Benison) (talk) 09:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (or redirect), as although there are plenty of mentions, especially in french, none of these are both reliable and significant coverage. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 17:49, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What references are you referring to specifically, Gamekult is reliable and thegameeffect is in English? IgelRM (talk) 08:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esta compañía, Darckworks, ha sido parte fundamental en la creación, desarrollo y marketing de muchos juegos que formaron parte de la infancia de personas en varios países. Darckworks no puede quedar en el olvido. La información disponible sobre ellos es verídica, ya que gran parte de su trabajo se encuentra en los créditos de todos sus juegos. Aunque sus empleados o gerentes no se pronuncien, no podemos negarles la visibilidad de su trabajo y esfuerzo.

A pesar de su anonimato, merecen el reconocimiento por el excelente trabajo que realizaron y por cómo contribuyeron a la industria de los videojuegos con su creatividad e innovación. Por ejemplo, en el juego "Cold Fear", un survival horror, introdujeron una perspectiva de cámara al hombro con la posibilidad de moverse mientras apuntas y disparas, así como secuencias de acción nunca antes vistas.

Darckworks merece ser recordada. Aunque ya no exista y sus juegos no sean relevantes hoy en día, fueron parte de la historia de los videojuegos y de la infancia de muchos. Kevinchy (talk) 11:10, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CONSERVAR No es necesario eliminar la poca información sobre Darkworks. En lugar de hacerlo, podemos contribuir a expandirla. Aunque la información disponible sea limitada y solo podamos guiarnos por el trabajo en sus pocos juegos, podemos darles el mérito que merecen. Es posible obtener y ampliar información a partir de los créditos de sus juegos, como "Cold Fear" y "Alone in the Dark".

No podemos simplemente eliminar y hacer desaparecer de la historia su trabajo y aporte al mundo de los videojuegos. Ellos estuvieron y participaron; fueron parte de la evolución de todo este mundillo. Kevinchy (talk) 11:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:ENGLISHPLEASE. However, based on my knowledge of Spanish, you are simply saying it's an important part of gaming history. If this is true, significant coverage will exist. Simply saying WP:ITSIMPORTANT without proof in the form of sources isn't a viable argument. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
