Entropy (1994 board game)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline nor the more detailed Notability (companies)'s section for products requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. ". PROD was declined without any substantial comment, the article was not improved, so here we go. PS. The only reference for this is a single webpage and the game is so niche it doesn't even have its own BGG entry  and most likely was never even commercially published...

 * Note: dont confuse with Entropy (1977 board game) which is not related to the above nom.  // Timothy :: talk  09:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - There are currently no valid sources being used in this article, and searching for anything turns up pretty much nothing. As stated by the nom, it does not appear like this game was ever actually commercially published, and was instead something that someone created and released online.  It does not seem to have garnered any kind of coverage in reliable sources whatsoever, and thus looks to be a pretty uncontroversial deletion.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:06, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: It looks like a fun game, but I cannot find SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Like the nom I can't find evidence that this was commercially produced. Article is unsourced so there is nothing in the article to support notability. If anyone finds SIGCOV, ping me and I will happily switch to keep.  // Timothy :: talk  09:40, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Board games are usually not notable, except for legendary ones, and this one falls into what most board games fall into - not notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. SunDawn (talk) 16:14, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , Just a nitpick, but many non-legendary boardgames meet GNG, particularly in the Internet era (there are many outlets that review them, just like with computer games). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:49, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I can't tell if any of these are reliable, but has a number of links to reviews.  That's actually quite a few reviews for a game from the 90s. Note that this game and Hyle are basically the same game (one on a 5x5 grid and one on a 7x7 grid). Hobit (talk) 22:09, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you may be confusing the 1977 game of the same name (Entropy (1977 board game)) with the one that is described in this article, as that is the one that is also known as "Hyle". The game that is described in this article does not follow the same rules or gameplay as either the 1977 "Entropy" nor Hyle, and appears to have nothing to do with them.

 * Obviously you are correct. Hobit (talk) 11:49, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
