Block N Load (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not released yet - doesn't meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG, WP:TOOSOON at best. I prodded with those reasons, removed by with the reason: 'The game exists and is available to pre-order on Steam (which ends on 12th Feb 2015 - this may be the release date but I have nothing to confirm that). The game is also in Open Beta where anyone can signup to play it.' Boleyn (talk) 21:37, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:ORG is totally irrelevant, we're talking about a game here. The game is clearly passing GNG, look at, etc. Being a first foray for Jagex, whom are extremely notable thanks to RuneScape, into a new genre for them is also pretty noteworthy, and is alluded to in some of those sources. These days, there are so many games coming out on Steam that this level of coverage is certainly not routine, and many of these are quite in-depth pieces. The article is terrible, but that's the only issue here bar a failure of WP:BEFORE. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 23:07, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Products come under WP:ORG. Boleyn (talk) 08:31, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * My apologies Boleyn, you are correct and I've stricken that part of my comment. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 10:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - A lot of the content in the article was copied from various sources. I have removed any instances of copyvios I could track down. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 23:35, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Article needs expansion (especially after clearing copyvios), but there is enough coverage to warrant an article and meet notability (covergae including Kotaku, PCWorld, GameSpot, and a variety of smaller gaming sites). ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 23:50, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
