Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BitcoinBandit


 * 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 delete. I'm going to edge towards closing this as delete for now -- three French sources of good quality (traditional press) is significant but on the whole the two arguments that it is WP:TOOSOON (the latter after examining the sources) weigh heavier in the balance that the SPA "keep" !vote and NA1000's opinion which he himself flagged as "weak keep".

Czar's suggestion to first build a frwiki article (fr:BitcoinBandit) is a very good one, and at a later point when more sources exist a new enwiki (maybe partly translated from the frwiki one) could very well meet our criteria for inclusion. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  19:25, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

BitcoinBandit

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * Game released very recently, unlikely to be notable, as confirmed by a search on Google.
 * WP:NGAME requires significant coverage by multiple published sources, which I can't find.
 * The game is also a ripoff of JetPack joyride btw, or at least the text is- JetPack Joyride's description reads "The game uses a simple, one-touch system to control the jetpack; when the player presses anywhere on the touchscreen, the jetpack fires and Barry rises. When the player lets go, the jetpack turns off, and Barry falls. Because he is continually in motion, the player does not control his speed, simply his movement along the vertical axis" whilst the description of this game in the article reads "The game uses a simple, one-touch system to control the jetpack; when the player presses anywhere on the touchscreen, the character's jetpack rises. When the player lets go, the jetpack turns off, and Bandit falls. Because he is continually in motion, the player does not control his speed, simply his movement along the vertical axis." Note how merely the character's name has been changed.

 * Delete - Subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources and is possibly WP:TOOSOON. Meatsgains (talk) 15:00, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep There are two Swiss major newspapers that cover its release. Le Temps https://www.letemps.ch/economie/2016/08/30/un-jeu-video-genevois-va-remunerer-utilisateurs-bitcoins (40'000 readers) and Le Matin (Switzerland) https://www.pressreader.com/switzerland/le-matin/20160825/281784218513288 (400'000 readers) — 178.197.225.233 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * JetPack joyride is clearly not the first jetpack game. There are dozens of them and the description fits perfectly the gameplay of any of them. The addition of a "Jetpack (games)" article which describe their common characteristics would be wiser. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.197.225.233 (talk) 20:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * There is a major French newspaper that covered its release La Dépêche du Midi (755'000 readers) http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2016/08/25/2406297-faire-gagner-tous-les-joueurs-guillaume-ose-le-pari.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.197.225.233 (talk) 14:47, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Too soon. It's on track but the three articles do not go into enough depth as reviews to give us enough information to write a full treatment of the subject. If one of the editors pushing this is involved with the project, first please do read our Conflict of interest guidelines and second, I highly suggest building a good French article for someone to translate (since all of the sources are in French). It'll make it easier to bring the article to English if/when more sources appear. czar  05:35, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
