Battle City (online game)

Article differs from previously deleted version because of the addition of the Digital Man Competition nomination - therefore Speedy G4 declined. I have two issues with this citation. Firstly, a nomination is not notability (Battle City did not go on to be a finalist). Secondly, the competition itself seems unnotable (Anyone can start up a wordpress blog and host their own award ceremony), with only other blogs and forums referring to it.

 * Delete - no significant coverage in reliable, published sources. --Teancum (talk) 11:50, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - nomination for an award doesn't mean it won, and not even making the finals is a not enough for notability. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:03, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable enough. --Bettenchi (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Conserve Please, take into account that I was playing this game about 10 years ago. I understand your view point when you see the retro looking graphix of it and the fact that it is not so much publicised, but I see it as a remake of an older game. If there is no legal issues to take this old game back again online, I see that mere fact as a great reconnaissance of the gameplay of it and the interest people have in it. Has I understand criteria for notability, an article for the game as a whole should be conserved. Even tought a google test point on the other "battle city" by NES, I'm pretty confident we'll find good enought source for that old 1994 game. A game surviving 16 years is not so common.
