Then why did you create that draft article? Daniel Case (talk) 06:21, 31 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Daniel, I'm not intending to use Wikipedia for self-promotion. The intended purpose is to inform. Other games by Playsport Games (as well as many other mobile games) also have Wikipedia pages which explain the origin of the game, release date and production. However, Wikipedia is not used to promote the game in any way. I also do not work for the game so gain nothing from creating a page on it, although I am a fan.
 * In my opinion, the topic is notable: Playsport Games is a prominent UK based games company and this is the first game outside their Motorsport Series.
 * The game has also been out for some weeks now so I wouldn't say that it constitutes breaking news. It's a finished article in that sense.
 * The copy is not promotional and solely intended to be fact driven and informative. However, happy to edit anything out that might be perceived in this way. FootieFan2022 (talk) 09:42, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Text doesn't have to have promotional language to be promotional. One of the purposes of promotion, after all, is to inform.
 * There weren't any sources in the draft article establishing that the game is notable. We have a whole page of guidelines on whether a video game is notable or not. That article would need to have information establishing that notability from reliable, third-party independent sources. When you write it without any sources it looks like it was intended promotionally.
 * I haven't seen other games by Playport beyond Motorsport Manager having articles, but I'm not much of a gamer and don't know the field too well. You could look at those articles as models.
 * And do you have any connection to Playsport? Daniel Case (talk) 06:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello Daniel, is it ok to make a page for this? FootieFan2022 (talk) 14:29, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
