Edelweiss (visual novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No sources cited since 2011, and Google brings up nothing usable. Even the Japanese Wikipedia entry for this game lacks reliable, third-party coverage. Appears to fail Northern Escapee (talk) 18:11, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment "Appears to fail" ... what? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it's safe to assume Northern Escapee meant to say that it fails WP:NBOOK. --Paul Carpenter (talk) 14:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or convert into an article on the developer and rename it. The Japanese Wikipedia on the game doesn't seem to have any sources. The developer article seems to have some, but not sure if they're relevant to our WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 20:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Also looks like redirecting to English publisher MangaGamer might be a good place. TTN (talk) 14:46, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: Appears to fail WP:V and WP:GNG, I guess. Japanese Wikipedia article is not much better. I see some blog reviews but also a few less bloggish, so it seems sources do exist. One : . Another: . One more: . Not sure if they are all reliable, but this may squeak by. (Also, some additional reviews seem to be from 18+ sites and may contain 18+ content, this one for exammple is blocked at my workplace: ). I am open to the discussion on whether those are reliable, but hmmm, I think there is enough out there to make it pass notability requirements. But best to review those sources outside one's workplace, lol. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:14, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * RPG Valiant's about+staff pages admit that it's an enthusiast site by fans. Anime UK is a situational per-writer type of source according to WP:A&M/RS and usable in this case. Gaming Target is considered unreliable according to WP:VG/RS. Fapservice is just someone's blog about anime-adjacent pornography and doesn't even have an about/staff page... I'm not necessarily saying "delete" - I haven't done a search myself - but solely based on the example sources you listed, there's just one RS, meaning this would not pass GNG.--AlexandraIDV 09:01, 25 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect to MangaGamer per TTN. No evidence of notability—per Alexandra, the sources just aren't there. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 00:53, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
