Family Stadium 2003

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This video game does not meet WP:GNG for the lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Nothing to be found in my searches except for the IGN paragraph on, nothing on Moby, Metacritic or archives. Was deprodded with a WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES rationale.

 * Comment Looks like a Japan-only release to me. May have better luck finding sources under the name Famista 2003 and the Japanese title for the series which seems to be ファミスタシリーズ - X201 (talk) 09:38, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Noted. Sadly, even the Japanese Wikipedia article for Family Stadium (Famista) 2003 (the one you linked is about the series as whole, not this title) is unsourced as well. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 12:55, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Jovan, could you also tag the Japan related AfD list, as what is needed here is someone who can look for Japanese sources? matt91486 (talk) 09:51, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep -- I cannot speak Japanese, but as far as I can tell, the Famitsu page for the game is . This also seems to be relevant directly . There are lots of links from sites like this  or  or  that I lack the background to speak for their ability to count as reliable sources, but clearly are about the topic. Language expertise is needed.  But at first glance with as best as I can do language wise, there seem to be sufficient cites available, as expected, even if they will require someone who can properly speak Japanese to say for sure and/or incorporate them. matt91486 (talk) 10:01, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, Famitsu is just a listing, which could verify the release date, but does not contribute towards WP:GNG. and  seem unreliable sadly, cannot find any staff writing those and both feel blog-like. However,  is reliable per WikiProject Video games/Sources and  could potentially be good (I think this would need WP:VG involvement for the reliability). Considering the reliability of the 3rd source is still in question, I am in the phase merge the information to Family Stadium per the policy WP:PRESERVE as I don't think it has independent notability at worst. What do you think about the merging? Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:46, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * - I'm personally still inclined toward keep; however, I do think a merger and redirect would be a preferable resolution to an outright delete. I am still hopeful that if we get it on the list of Japanese-related deletions, we might be able to get someone who can far more effectively search than I was able to, to see what sources are out there. matt91486 (talk) 05:46, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Family Stadium as there's really no content to merge. Redirect is a favorable alternative to deletion and I can see some plausibility as a search term.   Red Phoenix  talk  12:18, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
