 * Delete minor hits on gnews et all but nothing that establishes lasting notability. OSbornarfcontribs. 17:45, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. I see a few passing mentions, mostly related to indie gaming and game jams and such. But nothing of extensive coverage from reliable, secondary sources to satisfy WP:GNG that I can find. —  HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 12:42, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Though it's a new game engine intended for indie and small hobby projects, which makes it difficult for it to reach out to the mainstream media, it's being widely referenced over independent gamedev forums and blogs all around. I've personally added a few extra independent-sourced reference links to the article, and I believe it now complies with the GNG. Vmenezio (talk) 08:34, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Neither blogs nor forums are reliable sources, which GNG requires. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:21, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Some bigger gaming news site covered a Mari0, a game made with the engine. Kotaku for example did: http://kotaku.com/5835600/mari0-puts-a-portal-gun-in-super-mario-bros However it doesn't directly reference LÖVE. The official game website, on the other hand, does reference LÖVE (http://stabyourself.net/mari0/information/), and so do this interview (in portuguese) with the game creators: http://www.ubuntubrsc.com/stabyourself-entrevista-com-os-criadores-do-game-mari0.html Does any of that counts as reliable sources?

 * Kotaku is, but WP:NOTINHERITED. Official site and interview are primary sources. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:37, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
