All Stars (video game)

Fails to meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline. No reliable third-party sources to assert notability within the article, or were found via web search or news archive. References in the current article are currently self-published and/or unreliable, and thus cannot be used to assert notability. Randomran (talk) 17:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not really notable. It could probably be merged somehow into the Modding of Command & Conquer article itself if real sources can be found. Addionne (talk) 22:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It does have reliable third-party sources attesting to its notability: see the Publicity section.--ragesoss (talk) 13:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But none of the references are reliable. The interview doesn't mention any real people (i.e. just usernames are mentioned). The next three sources are from fansites, all of which are not reliable sources. The last one is simply a forum poll, which is a textbook failure of verifiability. Please reread WP:V as well as WP:VG/S on what sources are acceptable for inclusion in a Wikipedia video game article. MuZemike (talk) 19:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What makes an acceptable source depends on context (as both the policy and the guideline note). I think in this context, fansites for the main game can be reliable sources for a specific mod. The fact that the interview only has usernames is not particularly relevant, since going by usernames rather than real names is common practice in game mod communities.--ragesoss (talk) 15:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Fails WP:V for the reasons I have stated above. MuZemike (talk) 19:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
