Inverse Ninjas VS. The Public Domain

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unfortunately non-notable. The article has secondary sources cited, each of them citing the game as an example of a trend of creative properties emerging after the expiry of Steamboat Willie in the public domain. In terms of the details about the game, the sources at best just repeat what the game page has to say. The sources lack reception and reviews about the game in a manner necessary to indicate that this game has notability beyond the novelty of its exploitation of the recent Steamboat Willie public domain. Given the specific context of the coverage, I would be comfortable to also consider merging this to Works based on a copyright-free Mickey Mouse although I can't comment on the strength of that article. Welcome any views or additional sources. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Totally fails WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not for advertising. I personally think Works based on a copyright-free Mickey Mouse fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE so I will not suggest a merge. The Steamboat Willie Mickey is just a curiosity meaning nothing, when we can make a full "Non-Disney works based on Mickey Mouse" and he is fully in the public domain, it may become more relevant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:51, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
