The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn, notability has been pretty clearly demonstrated by the sourcing found. (non-admin closure) Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:30, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This video game has received no coverage in secondary sources, there are no reviews listed on Metacritic and a search brought up nothing that would contribute to notability. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SailingInABathTub:, The PC Gamer article is good, but Softpedia is not good for notability according to WP:VG/RS, since it publishes articles by request, while The Sixth Axis is explicitly listed as unreliable, and the others are too obscure to even be listed there, meaning they are likely not reliable. Fair play on finding the sources, but they still do not look like enough to prove notability. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:30, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Devonian Wombat:, actually per WP:RSPSOURCES, "Softpedia is considered reliable for its software and product reviews", and the others have not been discussed, so there is no consensus either way. SailingInABathTub (talk) 00:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article is in an awful state, but it's nothing that can be fixed. Metacritic won't have reviews, as the game is yet to release. I managed to find non-trivial coverage of the prologue demo in Adventure Gamers [1] and IGN Italy [2], which make it a pass of WP:GNG, and it's bound to receive more when it actually releases. There is an additional one in Games.cz at [3], but it'd need to be checked for reliability. I also wouldn't oppose draftfying if needed. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 07:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
