Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apprentice (video game) (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. WP:NPASR, as it were. Didn't go for a softdelete here as the two sources provided by Izno may indicate notability, but there is not enough discussion for a keep close, especially given the caveats accompanying the sources.

Apprentice (video game)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a non-notable freeware game. Coverage of this game is almost non existent and the only references to it are download links. There is no reliable source which ever did a review or even looked at this game. It has been created with an open source game-maker software. The "price" it won was a non notable award by the organisation which created the game-maker software. The "company" (not an actual company it seems) of the game has been defunct since about 10 years after it created 4 similar freeware games (and their WP-page has been deleted by an AFD too). The article fails WP:GNG therefore. The game also fails WP:NVIDEOGAMES too, as no significant (the 2 'reviews' of the game in the article are on blog-like non RS sources) coverage of this game exists. The only thing which comes close to that is an extremely short 4-sentence blurp on the borderline-RS Adventure Gamers website. There was a previous AFD 10 years ago, but they never established actual notability by our guidelines, and it seemingly went to 'keep' because editors apparently expected this game and its sequel to become much larger.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The only reliable sources from WP:VG/S for the game are this review of the sequel and this news bit of the re-release. No comment on notability. --Izno (talk) 03:04, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
