Backyard Wrestling 2K8

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

There is nothing on the games company which is producing this PC Game, there is no official company website (that I can find), so it looks like either this game is fake or never going to happen, see no reason to keep this article around as there is nothing official on this.

 * Delete 2K is a copyright of 2K Games, who wouldn't license their trademark to some guy with a vague game they would never touch who needs until the end of 2009 to release a game meant for 2008. I'd think the creators of the game of the same title would also be interested to know this guy is using their title.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 07:49, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I believe the 2K8 is meant to signify the year 2008, not related to the 2K Games trademark. As such, your argument appears to be based on false premises. MLauba (talk) 13:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Buyers would automatically assume 2K=this game was created by 2K Games, which it wasn't. 2K would definitely seek to have this title changed if it existed. I also argue for deletion because the IGN release date of December 31, 2009 suggests "I pulled this date out of thin air."  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment IGN portal appears to suggest this is not a hoax. There are other, better reasons to delete. MLauba (talk) 13:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Too early, no significant third-party coverage to warrant inclusion. MLauba (talk) 13:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I initially thought this was a hoax until I saw the IGN link. IGN and Gamespy are usually fairly reputable sources for video gaming news, although neither of the listings qualify as non-trivial, also violates WP:CRYSTAL. -Senseless!... says you, says me 14:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails inclusion criteria as per WP:NOTE. No reliable sources.--Sloane (talk) 04:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
