Guitar Praise

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

Prod declined. Non-notable upcoming video game, little information exists, and no independent sources provided that verify the game's notability. Two of the sources are actually for Rock Band, not Guitar Praise. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 17:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC) *Neutral I do not endorse the product or the company that makes it. In fact, I am not satisfied with its Dance Praise line of products. But since those dance games have been successful (to a certain extent), I believe that this guitar game will be successful as well. This is because some parents/pastors/teachers are overconcerned about the media that children/tweens/teens are exposed to. Also, there are Satanic songs in Guitar Hero; yet another reason to expect this game to be successful. I don't mind the article being teared down for now. No screenshots have even been released yet. But, in a matter of time, there will be more outside sources and more notability. LetsGo67 (talk) 00:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * delete. little notability. Dzied Bulbash (talk) 19:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - No outside sources means its fairly unremarkable. -Inzweep (talk) 21:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game related deletions. MuZemike (talk) 20:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Simply "believing" that a game will be successful is not reason to keep an article, and goes completely against WP:CRYSTAL. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 02:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

* It's very hard to write about an unreleased game with no screenshots released, no beta testing outside of California, and no official website (it redirects to digitalpraise.com). I did not include any opinion in this; in fact, the only good current source is the Digital Praise press release, and maybe Digg, and some news press. But the news press pretty much re-word the press release. LetsGo67 (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * This game release is notable. While I contacted Tom Bean, he informed me that there are 100 000 customers.  This means that Digital Praise is a multi-million dollar company.  A product from such a company, where virtually all 100 000 customers show interest, is notable.  The event is almost certain to take place, as the domain name has been purchased and the press release has been released.  LetsGo67 (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * There are facts as to why this game may be successful. Concerned adults, interested customers...  I'm still completely neutral.  I'm just saying that if the article is removed now, it will be re-hosted in a matter of time.  LetsGo67 (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The Rock Band sources are there because Digital Praise claims that lyrics on screen are an "unique feature". If Rock Band has that feature, then it is not unique to Guitar Praise.  LetsGo67 (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

(Sorry, my comments take up a lot of place, but bear with me)


 * Delete This may indeed find itself to be notable someday - and in that case, the article can be re-created.  But right now, with no reliable info, it's not quite there yet.  Addionne (talk) 17:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — If there exist no verifiable, third-party sources establishing any sort of notability, then I do not see how this is nothing but crystalballing. MuZemike (talk) 18:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — Just go ahead and delete it. I'll rebuild it if/when I find more information.  LetsGo67 (talk) 01:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Clear Delete - sources do not indicate that the game has attained "significant coverage" from sources reliable or otherwise - trivial mention in sales listing on one site and a press release - clearly fails WP:N. -  Toon  05  20:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
