Cobalt (video game)

Non-notable upcoming video game. Mythpage88 (talk) 07:23, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm sure this game is notable, it's also the second result in Google for "Cobalt". l'll find some sources for it, and it's not exactly "upcoming" if it's in playable alpha. Wagner u t c  07:46, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep This game actually gained a LOT of interest from articles posted by Mojang (The guys who made Minecraft), and by many Youtubers and Bloggers. Just search "Cobalt" on Youtube. * Alan.comek - [ Talk • Contribs ] 15:47, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Those aren't reliable sources in the slightest. Mythpage88 (talk) 17:04, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * What do you mean not reliable? Thousands of people read and watch that stuff every day. Yes, there are more reliable sources out there, but who says that this isn't? * Alan.comek - [ Talk • Contribs ] 04:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, there are several "Keep" !votes here that are for the wrong reasons, like that one, or the one about Google hits, but ultimately what matters here is that it is getting plenty of coverage in third party sources, as I listed above, and should be kept for that reason.

 * Keep It gets coverage. Remember to use the custom Google search for video games sources.   Makes it easy to find things.   D r e a m Focus  12:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
