 * Can you elaborate a bit? Even without source hunting, there’s 7 sources in the article and at least 6 of them are considered reliable per WP:VG/S. Being cancelled isn’t in itself a reason to delete if the sourcing exists, it’s only an argument for saying that it unlikely that more sourcing is coming, which isnt necessary here.

 * Comment The only source I am satisfied with it passing WP:SIGCOV is . The rest is all not in-depth coverage of WP:ROUTINE news: announcements or cancellation notice. However, Bossa Studios article exists. So at worst, we should merge this there in Bossa Studios. Some parts of the history could also be added to Bossa Studios.

 * Keep per the dedicated sourcing below, reliable per consensus at WP:VG/S, is enough to meet the WP:GNG.

 * Additionally, while I’m unfamiliar with the website, I also noticed that The Christian Post covered it as well, so it received coverage outside of game and technology websites as well. Sergecross73   msg me  18:52, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Not disagreeing that the coverage is there, but is there enough for a standalone or perhaps this should be merged to Bossa's page? --M asem (t) 20:26, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think so. I’d be all for a merge if it was just of those two sentence one source articles that does nothing but define the subject, but there’s a few paragraphs of content present already, and there’s still more that could be pulled from the sources above as well.

 * Keep Sources were super easy to find. Click Google news search at the top and some good ones appear right away.  Sergecross73 already mentioned some so no need for me to.   D r e a m Focus  02:30, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep A minor topic for sure, but sourcing is sufficient to merit an article. Alexbrn (talk) 04:55, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Not that satisfied with the coverage, since lots of these are based on the announcements by the dev studio (100k people requirement, release) or WP:ROUTINE. However, WP:ATD that I mentioned above was not considered by the nominator, so a deletion is not the answer here. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:25, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Sourcing looks fine. Bluedude588 (talk) 06:50, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
