Glacier (game engine)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable video game, currently relying on a single reliable source. While somewhat in-depth, the MCV article reads like a press release / interview, and is bylined to simply "Staff" rather than an author. Searching for other sources mostly just finds name drops of the sort as "IO's new game uses it's Glacier engine", with no significant in-depth coverage of the engine on it's own. Even these passing mentions have less than two pages of results with WP:VG/S's custom reliable source search. The article has been repeatedly created and redirected, including at Glacier Engine. -- ferret (talk) 01:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: perhaps this could be merged to IO Interactive? The article has only one source that might reach SIGCOV standard, the MCV story that documents that the engine has been licensed. This isn't enough for a standalone article, but with a little pruning the content is relevant to the IOI article and if the licensing is successful, the case for an independent article might grow. &mdash; Charles Stewart (talk) 09:12, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to fail WP:GNG, although I have no qualm about Glacier Engine being redirected to IO Interactive since it was used for numerous games of theirs. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:17, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge with IO Interactive, enough information can be written about this engine to warrant its own subsection named "Technology". Merko (talk) 12:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
