Drake and Josh (videogame)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Twice PRODded article. The first PROD gave no reason so I removed it as invalid. The second PROD gave the reason that the article was non-notable. This was contested by another editor on the basis that this was also not a valid PROD. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I'm not sure I agree the game is non-notable either - Google seems to suggest it has had a lot of coverage. I don't personally like the article - it is not especially well written but WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a reason to delete. The article is, however, unreferenced and contains some opinion - it certainly needs improvement IMO, but I am neutral on deletion. As there are certainly at least two editors who think it should be deleted I am bringing it here to establish concensus. Ros0709 (talk) 22:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 22:29, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - It has long been established that most games that sees a retail release on a major console will meet our notability guidelines, because virtually all of them see reviews in established print sources related to that console. I don't happen to have a stack of Nintendo Power in my attic, but I see no reason to believe this game will be an exception. WP:VG/M will be able to help.

 * Keep — First, keep in mind that just saying that an article is unreferenced and has original research are not a valid deletion arguments, but rather reasons for cleanup. Second, there exists an IGN review of the game here. MuZemike (talk) 03:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, that's a review of Drake & Josh: Talent Showdown, different game. Someoneanother 12:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's confusing. Article should also be renamed to avoid ambiguities. In any case, I still say that we keep as this a major retail release. MuZemike (talk) 14:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - We keep articles based on potential. THQ released it for a major console so it meets notability.S. Luke 11:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by S Luke (talk • contribs)
 * Not necessarily; you need to verify that with reliable sources, which have been already given. MuZemike (talk) 16:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep there are two reviews on metacritic: GameZone and Nintendo World Report, so notability is technically covered. Games aimed at kids are not guaranteed magazine reviews, even if they are out there it's not like every magazine covering the format will have bothered. Couple that with the fact that the two sources are not exhaustive, it's not going to be a big or well cited article, but it's over the hurdle I guess. Someoneanother 12:48, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This is a retail release for a major console. SashaNein (talk) 13:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - The current article has references, and passes the appropriate criteria. Leonard(Bloom) 17:56, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
