Fish Fillets NG

Apparently non-notable software. A Google search doesn't turn up any independent third-party sources on the game; only Wikipedia mirrors and download sites. Psychonaut (talk) 22:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems well enough discussed/reviewed: [1]; [2]; [3]; [4]; [5]; etc. LotLE×talk 07:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Blogs and discussion forums aren't considered sources establishing notability. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sorry but WP mirrors and blogs are insufficient. JBsupreme (talk) 20:43, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I wouldn't have created it if I didn't believe it was notable. Admittedly, at the time, that was based largely on seeing other articles on games that I considered less note-worthy and thinking "why isn't fish fillets here?" I'm looking over WP:NOTE carefully now and will search for some independent sources. I'd like a little time to look. (Help would be good too!) ... I feel like it is notable because of its longevity, its uniqueness, its sequel, its international following, and its multi-platform presence. That is, I believe "it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found" (WP:NOTE). ... And, again, RESEARCH HELP NEEDED: I think there are good sources are out there.

A source. This is tricky, but here's an interview about the game: [Fish Fillets - rozhovor]. It's in Czech, though. I think it demonstrates some notability because it's on [what looks like] a serious, long-lived gaming site and it appears 5 years after the game was published (1997; interview in 2002). Point: the game is no flash in the pan. ... So, who knows Czech? Kace7 (talk) 18:45, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The publisher is Tisacali Media; judging by the logo, it would appear to be the Tiscali? They're not exactly known for their video game reviews, but we could go with it. I'm trying to figure out if the author, "Felie" is a staff writer or a user. Marasmusine (talk) 20:04, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per that find (cs:Tiscali.cz is a professional IT portal, top 100 in its country [6]), and another article in [7], the site of Czech Linux magazine, which doesn't seem that popular [8], but I think passes WP:RS as well. I see the game was developed in that country by small company, and not published through some big international publisher, which probably explains the mostly-regional press coverage. It was covered in a print issue of Linux Format [9] (guessing 3 paragraphs to half a page, which is about standard for that column); the original, non-NG version was similarly covered in an older issue [10]. Only a passing mention in Linux.com though. Pcap ping 18:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
