Article gives no indication of notability with multiple independent reliable sources.  Whispe ring  11:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral. A search brought up some coverage in Computer Gaming World, a real actual print magazine.  That alone probably isn't enough to keep by itself, but I'd consider voting to keep if another source can be found. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The game was covered in a review by 1UP.com. Combined with coverage by Computer Gaming World, I think that passes for notability. -- Hinotori(talk) 15:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Can we get a scan or a link to the CGW article?  Whispe ring  17:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available online without paying $7.99, but it's the March '06 issue. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, found it. Here.  Looks to be a fairly trivial mention though, in an article with other free games. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * (outdent) Comment That is rather trivial, one good source so far. Got another?  Whispe ring  18:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 17:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. Seems just about notable enough to me - but needs these independent sources added in the article itself. Terraxos 01:20, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. It's close, but seems notable enough. It also has an entry in HOTU, which is just on the edge of "reliable", here. More importantly, despite its lack of critical citation the game's had impact. It's the foundation for the notoriety of Derek Yu, founder of The Independent Gaming Source and now a review editor at GameTunnel, and for the anticipation around his upcoming game Aquaria. It also has significant grassroots popularity which is inherently difficult to cite; I'd put it as the second-best known independent exploratory platformer, after Cave Story. If anyone ever makes a Derek Yu page, an Eternal Daughter page will instantly become obligatory; without one, I think it still warrants existence. HypoCee 18:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
