Possibly too soon for an article. No indication of notability. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:33, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As the author of pretty much all the article's (small) content, I'm going to TRY not to be biased and use logic, rather than emotion, to defend it. Please bear with me.

This is the first article I have created, so I read through various policies, and concluded that Sol 0 just barely met the criteria for inclusion. In my opinion, "just barely enough" is enough, and as time goes on it will increase in notability (or at the very least, its notability will not decrease).

I hadn't seen the TOOSOON criteria before, but I read through the film section (it's the nearest to a video game in there). I'm not sure if most films on Wikipedia would actually meet any of the "Attributes to consider"!

Sol 0 has been released and sold around 15,000 copies as of 14 February 2016, so it's not too soon in that respect, but I accept that there has been little media coverage of the game as yet. I have found a couple of pre-release reviews, and have added them to the article.

I would prefer to let the article stand for a while. Having been properly released only a few weeks ago, I expect reviews to turn up shortly. Awards or nominations will, obviously, take a bit longer, but I believe Sol 0 will eventually become at least 20%^[1] as notable as Braid. Cosmogoblin (talk) 09:36, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment There seems to be much less buzz about it now than there was a year ago when it wasn't being sold. I could find preview articles from then, but from this year I can't find any articles nor even reviews. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 10:05, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as WP:TOOSOON for a non-notable video game failing WP:GNG with no reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. We create article after they become notable, not before, regardless of release dates, sales numbers or popularity. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:52, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, fails WP:GNG, might be WP:TOOSOON. 16,000 copies sold is not an indicator of notability. Being "at least 20% as notable as Braid" is WP:OTHERSTUFF and WP:CRYSTAL. --Soetermans. T / C 14:13, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
