FIFA 80s

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable game that has yet to be released; fails WP:CRYSTAL. A Google News Archive search returns no results, while a Google search returns a scant 52 results, none of which are reliable sources. One the talk page of the article, the creator,, contested the proposed deletion, saying The game is real, but has only been released to shareholders who own a lot of shares. The game won't be released to the public until late November and will be releaesed some time next year, so as not to compete with FIFA 10.

I can't post any proof of the game right now though. Emmet1994 (talk) 17:12, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no prejudice to recreation when/if the videogame is ever released, but at this moment, the lack of verifiability means that the article should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 17:57, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unverifiable, no reliable sources. It may be a hoax. --Carioca (talk) 21:42, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete – I smell hoax bigtime. See File:FIFA 80s game box art small.jpg and File:FIFA 80s game box art BRAZIL SMALL.jpg (which are also tagged for deletion, so hurry!) and read the source sections under the fair-use rationale: I created this work entirely by myself. I have a strong feeling this has been photoshopped. MuZemike 03:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
