Eternity (game)

 * — (View AfD)

A free game thats currently in development, it doesn't get less notable really. Zero assertions of notability, no reliable third-party sources, no media coverage, fails WP:NOT a crystalball, WP:SOFTWARE, WP:V, WP:N, and the first section reads like an advertisement (WP:NOT again). The introduction even says they don't know what the game is going to be notable for yet! (They say 'probably it's license') The Kinslayer 14:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

 * delete as in-development hobby project. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 14:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. ← A NAS  Talk? 16:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs clean up, not deletion. WP:NOTCVG is still just a proposal, not policy, notability is difficult for FOSS game projects. In regards to reading like an ad, there are a lot of game articles that read like an ad, Freelancer is a prime example. --MegaBurn 20:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have no idea where you keep getting WP:NOTCVG from. No one else is referencing it. We're more concerned about the ACTUAL policies this article doesn't meet, as stated in the nomination. The Kinslayer 20:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, Its the proposed notability policy for games, until its finalized notability should be left out of game related AFD debates. WP:SOFTWARE is also just a proposal, not policy, and should not be used for a AFD grounds either. Beyond that, this is a game under development, weak notability should be expected. --MegaBurn 02:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I know it's a proposed policy, so does everyone else. That's why absolutely no-one else has made any reference to it and is instead sticking to the actual Wiki policies this article fails. I ask you again: Where are you getting WP:NOTCVG from when absolutely no-one is using it as a reason for deletion? The Kinslayer 09:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Megaburn, you are ignoring the parts about WP:V and WP:RS. No media coverage, no third-party sources, only the site itself listed as a source.  This does not meet any standard of notability.  WP is not for crystal ballery. Hbdragon88 05:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Yeah, sorry, it was a weak attempt to save the article. Its Openlancer's sister project so I felt obligated to say something to defend it. Odd though, out of about 200 community members no one else replied to this or the Openlancer AFD debates. I can say both articles will return in a few months, after these projects release demos and get some news coverage. --MegaBurn 06:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per original nom which covers it very nicely. Nashville Monkey 09:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep In order to comply with the above mentioned wikipedia policies, I the admin/webmaster/designer of the project and original author have adjusted the wording away from speculation to current goals. Advertisement is irrelevant, there are no argumentative devices, only facts. --Casswp06 15:46, 9 December 2006 (GMT)
 * Delete I author have decided there is no real point to keeping this entry, it isn't important and has no bearing on how the project will do. I hereby request it's deleted now as to not waste any more of anyone's time. --Casswp06 22:48, 11 December 2006 (AEST)
