Darkness Within: The Dark Lineage

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. Article cannot show any verifiable, third-party sources (Gametrailers does not count.) establishing any notability about this future game. Hence, this fails WP:CBALL. MuZemike (talk) 17:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep though I was going to agree that there's really nothing to base an article on at this point, it's just a trailer with one reaction to it in the external links and another here, I just can't see the point in knocking it down when it's going to spring up again the moment the next source appears. The only difference between this and any other future game stub is that it's a trailer rather than a fluff-piece 'interview', there's still reaction to it from reliable sources which indicates more will be covering it.

 * Wait and See (weak keep), maybe redirect, but hiding the history is unnecessary and probably counterproductive. I don't think WP:CBALL applies to a game with a released teaser that says it'll be out in less than a year. The previous game did make it onto mainstream media's radar, so this isn't a case of "Unknown indie game syndrome". Nifboy (talk) 21:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: Not a hoax, looks to be a legitimate sequel from a notable publisher and notable game studio. A trailer exists. This is less WP:CBALL and more documenting a current event: the development of an upcoming video game. Give it time. Randomran (talk) 20:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
