Hot Rod: American Street Drag

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced advertisement and game guide. Searches found nothing other than abandonware site downloads and cheat code lists. Reads like the back of a game box, which is probably where the big promotional paragraph actually comes from; I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

Article details a Windows 95 game where you take a classic car and ruin it so it goes fast. That's it. The game itself is basically an advertisement for Hot Rod magazine, but that's beside the point. AdoTang (talk) 18:07, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Hot Rod (magazine) - I'm not finding any real coverage of the game, outside of some guides and sale pages. The "IGN Review" linked to in the article is not, in fact, an actual review from the IGN staff, but a "reader review", and thus not an actual reliable source.  I could not find any actual legit reviews from reliable sources anywhere, and Metacritic also lists zero review that I could follow up on.  It does not appear that this game passes the WP:GNG, and as there is no sourced content in this article, there is nothing to preserve or merge.  But, as it is already mentioned in the appropriate section for the magazine that the game was made for, redirecting there seems like a reasonable decision.

 * Redirect to Hot Rod (magazine). MobyGames can confirm it exists, but it doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:31, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
