March of Empires

Not sure this iOS mobile game readhes WP:GNG. It's also written like a fanbook.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:37, 8 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment I don't know whether WP:NGAME would help here as might WP:IMPROVEIT though I don't know whether it actually meets WP:GNG which is still the main source of deletion reasons for videogames as WP:NGAME is just an essay. &#91;Username Needed&#93; 13:40, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Inclined to Delete. A Gamezebo review and a Slide to Play review does not notability make. --Izno (talk) 14:51, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly meets WP:GNG: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. I'm guessing most of these are reliable. Adam9007 (talk) 01:23, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please don't ref-bomb. Figure out which are actually reliable and which are not, and which cover the topic in depth to boot. --Izno (talk) 02:31, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * They all cover the subject in detail, and none are obviously unreliable. Adam9007 (talk) 02:38, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between something being a secondary, reliable, independent source, and something not being "obviously unreliable". Very few of those are listed as video game reliable sources.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * There's also a difference between "not listed at WP:VGRS" and "source is not reliable". WP:VGRS is not intended to be exhaustive, and sometimes common sense should be used. Plenty of video game articles (including GAs) use sources not listed there. I'm not familiar with some of these sources and cannot read the languages. Can someone provide proof of unreliability?

 * Comment - Is there a really popular mobile phone game with a similar title or something? I feel like this is one of those really popular games that gets TV spots, but with the sourcing bordering between "not-notable" and "niche/barely notable", I wondered if maybe I'm thinking of a different game?

 * Clash of Clans, Game of War, March of Empires, Action of Things? :p Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  14:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * - Finally figured it out. Forge of Empires is the one I always see those stupid commercials for. That's what it was, not this game. So it looks like I'm unfamiliar with this game then. Sergecross73   msg me  03:13, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per Izno and a few of Adam9007's links (148apps, PocketGamer, Adweek, multiple 4gamer articles), SIGCOV in reliable sources exists. Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  14:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
