Geist Force
Hello. I saw that you'd come to #wikipedia-en-help just now, about Geist Force. Although the game is not encyclopedically notable (major sales performance, critical acclaim, being a huge social phenomenon, etc), it is footnotable! In IRC, you said that it has been discussed in reliable sources, which included now-vintage print magazines. If you can find those exact citations (page, issue, article name, of a certain magazine), you could include a statement in the Sega Dreamcast article about it. You couldn't include most of what you wrote so far, because there can't be any reliable sources for most of that, but you could make a sentence or two. Weblogs and fan sites do not count unless they're a minor mention out of the whole article, so the citation you gave might work in the scope of the whole Sega Dreamcast article. And you could toss in a mention of Woody Woodpecker Racing, while you're at it. The Woody Woodpecker Racing article definitely should never have been created, and should now be deleted, and then possibly its subject matter should be rolled into the respective consoles' articles. Anyway, almost nobody would ever even find articles like that, as it stands!

I moved your draft back into your sandbox area.

So in summary, the absolutely minimally critical criteria for any statement whatsoever in wikipedia is that it can be authoritatively cited according to the criteria for reliable sources. Read full criteria here: Your_first_article

Anyway I worked hard on reading and understanding your case, and writing this response, so please do it! ^_^ Let me know if you need any help because I'm way into retro gaming. Smuckola (talk) 02:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
