Apocalypse 2500

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is about a non-notable RPG. It actually self-asserts non-notability by stating: "is a fairly new game and may be unknown to most people". Unless reliable sources and significant media coverage can be found, the article should be deleted. Victor Lopes (talk) 21:51, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, can't get much more non-notable than that. JuJube (talk) 23:31, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Even though it's not policy quite yet, the outline of Notability (toys and games) which has some indications of notability show that this game does not fall into the notable area.--Pmedema (talk) 00:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Article clearly asserts notability Testmasterflex (talk) 03:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Clearly"? I don't see any clear assertion of notability.  But in any case, there needs to be more than just an assertion of notability. -- Whpq (talk) 12:38, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment What more do you want to see in the article??--Whatiswhatwik (talk) 19:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Falls well short of notability requirements. Nuttah (talk) 09:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - All that I can turn up are blog posts, myspace/angelfire/geocities pages. No reliable sources covering the game system. -- Whpq (talk) 12:38, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find a reliable source on this game. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 18:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment type Apocalypse 2500 into google and you will find tones of sources on the game.--Whatiswhatwik (talk) 19:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply - Reliable sources are needed. The google search results provide forum posts, blogs, and press releases; none of which are considered to be reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 19:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Whatiswhatwik, no source covering the game has been discovered that was written by a reliable writer. In MySpace, and blogs, for example, anyone can write whatever they want.  One blog post could say that Apocalypse 2500 is the worst game in the world, and I hope you understand that we would not use that opinion on a Wikipedia article because the writer of that post cannot be considered reliable.  I hope, by extension, that you understand why this article needs reliable sources supporting it.  The Wikipedia community means nothing personal against the game, and if it gains reliable sources in the future to support it, then an article about the game will then be welcomed.
