Speedy deletion nomination of Quarriors!


A tag has been placed on Quarriors!, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:17, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have nominated this article for deletion for the following reasons: The article seems to be written primarily for promotional purposes. There are only two references, one to a primary source, WizKid, which appears to be the company that produced the game. The second source is "boardgamegeek.com", which charges users a 3% commission for games sold through its marketplace. (See this page and this list of Quarriors games for sale.) I don't think these sources count as "independent reliable sources" as explained here, and thus the notability of the subject cannot be established by them. But my primary objection is that it appears to be a straight-up ad. If you disagree, you might want to consider finding "significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject" and re-submitting the article through the Articles for Creation process, which will give you more time to get the article up to speed before it is published.
