BulletML

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG, I see it has been recently redirected, but has since been reverted. Not independently notable, suggest a delete and redirect to avoid the article being restored. Incredibly unlikely to ever become notable. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:03, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Restore redirect Or delete/redirect per nom. Lee must have missed that the redirect has been in place for a decade. :) I see no meaningful indepth reliable source coverage of BulletML, with almost no mentions in WP:VG/RS's custom search at all. Most hits are for comments/forum sections. A few passing mentions, such as in relation to Enter the Gungeon. The IP responsible for restoring seems to be telling people they are going to merge it anyways. The article does not need restored from redirect for past content to be merged. -- ferret (talk) 21:51, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak restore redirect it's not easy, but I was able to find some coverage. (e.g. 1 2) enough where I think there's a real possibility that sufficient sources can be found. And if someone wanted to make a properly attributed copy to sandbox and histmerge back later once the sourcing is satisfactory I think that would be fine. There's also WP:NOPAGE to consider so content may be best expanded as part of an existing article.I don't see any reason to hide the existing history, in fact I oppose doing so for the reasons given. It won't prevent bad restorations, and the appropriate way to stop those is by partially-blocking users who insist on making them after being warned not to, or if need be, by protecting the page, though with one recreation over an entire decade+ that seems unlikely to be necessary. What it will prevent is people using the history to merge the information elsewhere or potentially build an article off of, so all-in-all hiding the history is a net negative.Presumably 86.155.25.31 will be done with their merger after a week. If not, leave a friendly note explaining how to use page histories. 31.41.45.190 (talk) 17:25, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect. Lacks significant coverage from standard/specialized searches and redirects are cheap. (not watching, please )  czar  18:48, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
