Contested prod. No reason was given by the contesting editor, so I'll just copy and paste the rationale used in the prod: Fails to meet WP:Notability (games). Article subject was never released in English-speaking countries. Article has no references. Martin IIIa (talk) 17:40, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just to get it out of the way, not being related in English language regions is not a deletion rationale. There may be an Animerica import review of this, I'll need to check.SephyTheThird (talk) 10:04, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although being an arcade game it isn't going to be in there. However to me this makes it even more of a reason why the lack of English release should be discounted, being a anime licensed game from the early 90s it's unfair to judge it on this. Ultimately being an arcade game is going to limit the availability of sources, but it's important to be basing a deletion on the reasons that matter (i.e. the sourcing and notability).

Redirect to List of Gundam video games. Very little content present in article. Quite frankly, a simple sentence after its entry there covering its name/year/companies related would cover about 90% of the article's content, so little would be lost.

Redirect to List of Gundam video games as a valid search term, as long as the game exists. (Try to redirect before coming to AfD.) No reviews listed at MobyGames → very unlikely that print sourcing/reviews exist, especially in English. czar 19:23, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect As an early 90s licensed anime arcade game we will struggle for notability, at least without access to Japanese game mags of the time.SephyTheThird (talk) 22:30, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the above. If enough sources can eventually be found, it can be recreated using the previous information as a base. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:46, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
