Daikaijuu Monogatari II

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested WP: PROD. No reason was provided by the contesting editor, so I'll just copy-and-paste my rationale from the prod: Fails to meet WP: NGAMES. No claim of importance, and no cited sources. Martin IIIa (talk) 11:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Game appears to exist but nothing in reliable sources. It seems reasonable to redirect this to its predecessor at Daikaijuu Monogatari (though I'm not entirely sure that one meets N either--probably will only find offline sources for either). --Izno (talk) 18:48, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * DM1 has been reviewed by at least Famitsu and Family Computer Magazine, according to the jawp article, so it might be possible that one is notable. Gonna see if I can find any Japanese RSs discussing DM2.--IDVtalk 11:46, 28 May 2017 (UTC) UPDATE: Yeah, I can't find anything for DM2 in Japanese either. I support merging DM2 into DM1.--IDVtalk 11:49, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge the only coverage appears to be WP:MILL coverage of all console releases. Daikaijū Monogatari is a suitable merge/redirect target. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:59, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The questionable notability of Daikaijuu Monogatari is precisely the reason why I brought this to AfD instead of boldly redirecting it; I don't think it's good policy to redirect to an article which is likely to be deleted in the future. If and when the target article is then deleted, the redirect article will be speedy deleted under WP: G8, making it a sort of backdoor deletion. And honestly, I'm a bit puzzled as to why I didn't PROD Daikaijuu Monogatari at the same time as I did this article, since at present its sourcing certainly doesn't meet notability standards.--Martin IIIa (talk) 12:51, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
