Not independently notable. Merko (talk) 10:13, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Technology. Merko (talk) 10:13, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems like an ok WP:SPLIT, and also probably meets GNG/NSOFT on its own., and note that there is a lot of secondary coverage of an interview that a developer gave (i.e. not the interview itself, but secondary coverage thereof), eg . &mdash;siro&chi;o 10:42, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Eurogamer article isn't inherently about id Tech 7. GND-Tech is a listicle which has passing mentions of id Tech, let alone id Tech 7. TechRadar and Vice articles are blogspam. Merko (talk) 13:21, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable (proprietary) software product used in a notable game (Doom Eternal). The engine has a sufficient amount of reporting on its own, but also there is a lot of reporting about the way it was used in the game. Anton.bersh (talk) 11:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Okoslavia (talk) 12:37, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you give some examples? Merko (talk) 13:19, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Disclaimer: I never actually played the any games created with Id Tech 7, so can't judge how accurate the reporting is, however I believe the following sources should be usable:
 * - Doom Eternal ushers in idTech 7, bloody new powers (Ars Technica - a tech news and editorial reviews site, generally considered reliable in technology matters, so probably is OK in gaming too)
 * - Doom Eternal analysis: how id Tech 7 pushes current-gen consoles to the limit (Eurogamer - gaming news site)
 * - Doom Eternal on Stadia looks great - but the lag is just too high (Eurogamer - same gaming news site) Anton.bersh (talk) 11:37, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - in relation to other articles on Wikipedia, this is relatively notable. It's well referenced. I can't see a reason to delete this article. (Although the article itself could be improved). - Master Of Ninja (talk) 17:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, the article could be improved. Unfortunately, low quality is typical for most consumer software/technology product articles on Wikipedia, so it is sufficiently decent in its category. Anton.bersh (talk) 11:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
