Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Only two refs for this article which has been around for years. One is own web-site and the other is Hardcore Gaming 101 which is about as niche a publication as is possible to get. No claims to any special notability. No notability established. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 12:49, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Redirect I researched the matter and my path lead to the Japanese Wiki. There I discovered that they have a single article for the entire series, only it's done in a slightly peculiar manner with the article being for this game and then mentioning the other games in a section. Our article for Cotton (series) is fairly comprehensive. I don't think the detail there of our game is missing much if anything. We could add a short paragraph from our Release section to the List detail of this particular game there, along with the TurboGrafx-CD image someone has uploaded. I also noticed the article for Panorama Cotton is fairly similar. It has even less information. I'd suggest deleting redirecting it as well and just using the image in the series article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 00:32, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I think the end result looks pretty neat: Cotton (series). I found just one sentence necessary to add in addition to the images. I also found some Japanese coverage I might add to the series article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 00:53, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep After some amount of reviews and coverage were dug up, I think at this point the first title has earned its own article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:32, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - "Hardcore Gaming 101" is considered a usable source per consensus at WP:VG/S - Writer Kurt Kalata is a journalist with a lot of experience in the field. That source should not be discounted, especially considering it covers the subject in significant detail. Sergecross73   msg me  15:52, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * There's a retrospective from US Gamer that focuses mostly on the title. US Gamer is an RS per WP:VG/S.
 * There's a review for the game from Honest Gamers too. The Video Games WikiProject was undecided if Honest Gamers was a reliable source or not, so take that however you want... Sergecross73   msg me  15:57, 1 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Stay if by "notabilty"" the nominator meant "reviews", then there are several just on what he called "own web-site" (and really is MobyGames entry): http://www.mobygames.com/game/fantastic-night-dreams-cotton/mobyrank These are largely German ones like the linked scan of Mega Fun http://www.kultboy.com/index.php?site=t&id=4741 And then there are various others still, like the 3-page review in Consoles + or about the portable version in Retro Gamer even online: http://www.retrogamer.net/retro_games00/cotton/ Or maybe I just don't know what "special notability" means. --PiXXeL777 (talk) 11:36, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough sources have been added to establish notability. --Cerebellum (talk) 14:44, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
