The result was   delete. I'm sorry Christopher but the information we need for the article needs to be in independent reliable sources. We can't just take your word on it. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Dueling Network

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Only sources are forums and primary. Though about A7 (and I guess it could qualify) but decided to bring it here instead. Non notable site.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  16:54, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete A7 can't apply because this is software, but supplied sourcing is all unreliable (in this case, all either primary or unverifiable). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  16:57, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: the only reference that conforms to WP:IRS I found is Game Informer's staff blog. Given some blog coverage, quite a lot of forum threads, and non-English native language of the game this may indicate that the topic is indeed notable and more reliable sources could be found. Still the articles relies on primary sources and forum threads, which is very bad practice and feels promotional, so the current version of the article does not have a snowball's chance in hell and can be deleted right away (without waiting for 7 days of AfD) IMHO. — Dmitrij D.

 * Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 20:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am Christopher Salvarani (Black Luster Soldier), creator and owner of the Dueling Network. Some of the information in this article is inaccurate (for example, Ray Dumont just runs the social networking side but is not the creator). I can provide you with any information you need for this article. My e-mail is listed on the front page of the website, feel free to contact me. --DNBls (talk) 03:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
