Not enough reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. I can't find enough sources, too. --   Luke      (Talk)   03:02, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete As the PRODer, I was actually in the process of nominating this for deletion myself, but was beat to it, so I'll just summarize what I had typed out here. The game is a non-notable video game produced in the RPG Maker program.  There is no indication of any sort of notability for this game, however, as there are no reliable sources that talk about it.  The sources present in the article already are not reliable third party sources, and I am unable to find any others.  The only claim to importance the article makes is that the game is in the "Top 50 Downloaded Games" list on a specific website, and that really doesn't cut it.  The PROD was removed with the argument that the page creator "has seen this game popular in many japanese sites", and that one of the various "-chan" imageboards has some images of it, but without reliable sources, the game just does not pass the GNG.

 * Delete Rorshacma has pretty much stated all the reasons why this article should be deleted, so I'll just add my vote. There are thousands (could be millions) of games like this, and if there are any sources that state this is actually different and more popular than a tiny game anyone could code with RPG Maker, I don't see it.

 * Don't Delete I would argue that the game is popular enough to merit an article. Searching Ib on Deviantart yields almost ninteen thousand results, and searching Ib the game on youtube yields eleven thousand results. I agree that being on the top 50 downloads of a Japanese website alone does not merit an article, but it adds to the proof that the game is popular. Rakoa (talk) 16:35, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Popularity is not what determines whether or not articles are deleted. What does, is notability, which is established by coverage in reliable, third party sources. Fan created art type stuff from Deviant Art or Youtube do not count as reliable sources. Sergecross73   msg me   18:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom, Rorshacma, and my own commentary above. No sources that help it meet the WP:GNG. Sergecross73   msg me   18:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability per Wikipedia guidelines. Rlendog (talk) 15:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - some admin should close this per WP:SNOW. Not enough notability.  Cyan Gardevoir  (used EDIT!) 23:41, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't delete - come on, I think the game deserves to be on Wikipedia. at least it is a popular page User: Alex Nguyen
