8XR (game engine)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPRODUCT. Created by a sockmaster (prior to block, not G5 eligible). I found that nearly every source used made no mention of 8XR at all. The two remaining sources are interviews/promo/non-independent. WP:VG/S's reliable source search has zero results. General efforts to search up any other coverage, reliable or not, for an "8XR engine" found essentially nothing. -- ferret (talk) 15:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment: I can't access one of the sources (it's a dead link), but the one I can access, while it is a suspiciously promotive interview, does have a significant amount of non-interview content. It's like the first half of the article. You can maybe argue it's not reliable (it does seem suspicious), but it can't be immidiately dismissed as just an interview. Also googled and could not find sources, so I'll vote Delete if no one can find any more sources than this. (given we have 1 dubious source and an unarchived dead link) Mrfoogles (talk) 17:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, the top half isn't really an interview (though highly promotional). But there's no way I'd view that blockchain site as a reliable source. They are a paid group blog without apparent oversight. -- ferret (talk) 17:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * del no independent evidence of notability. - Altenmann >talk 16:55, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete unless any reliable sources can be found, given that the sources available are (1) unreliable (see https://blockster.com/membership) or (2) inaccessible and unarchived, and also odd given the earliest available blog post on that website is from 2023 Mrfoogles (talk) 18:17, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete, only sources given to indicate notability are deadlinks/primary. — Alien333 (what I did &amp; why I did it wrong) 19:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete - per the nomination. I can't find any evidence of it meeting the WP:GNG. Sergecross73   msg me  00:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
