Homescapes

I see a single review at Gamezebo, meaning this video game does not display the characteristics expected of notability. Izno (talk) 14:58, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Also there is one more PocketGamer news piece. And the game is quite popular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivan titov (talk • contribs) 17:20, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep There's a number of sources in google news that presently aren't listed at WP:VG/S (but that haven't been evaluated) that cover the game in more depth, including a dev interview and a a review of how it monetizes. There's also this Venture Beat article. At minimum, there is a valid merge-and-redirect to Playrix (the developer/publisher). --M ASEM  (t) 15:12, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also note that Gardenscapes (the preceeding title to this) should probably be considered at the same time. --M ASEM (t) 06:19, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * You might note I prodded the other. --Izno (talk) 14:44, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Compiling the reliable sources mentioned so far, it looks like there's enough to pass the bare minimum of the WP:GNG.

 * All sources have a consensus for being reliable per WP:VG/S and are completely dedicated to the subject, and only one is a routine "the product is announced" type source. Additionally, while there's no means of proving notability through popularity, the fact that apparently has 28 million downloads could be considered an indicator that the game's well known enough that other sourcing exists as well.
