The result was   delete. Both of the arguments for keep fail WP:AADD; the former fails to address the issues of notability and the latter is simply a vote. The deletes give sufficient rationale to have a consensus among them to delete this article. NW ( Talk ) 20:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I suspect it will be notable once released.  might count as independent and is likely reliable.  Searching around I found a number of similar sources... Hobit (talk) 23:15, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * "Posted by BlackJacketStudios" - so no, not independent. Marasmusine (talk) 11:23, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, but rewrite This is a note-worthy game, even if it's a little obscure. It's getting a release on Steam, and it has the some mention-worthy talent behind it (the team who did Tribes). There's no reason to delete it, especially considering it'll finally get an active community next week once it's released. 147.9.230.78 (talk) 02:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. There are some press releases doing the rounds, and some commentry on those press releases . Start again if magazines can be bothered to review it after release. Marasmusine (talk) 11:21, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I think the arguments to keep are stronger than delete -Drdisque (talk) 04:07, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I'm still unable to find much information and it's not even an updated title on main gaming news websites. I agree that it might well become notable because its on Steam, but until there are outside sources past press releases and at very least third-party game reviews, it should go. Being a Steam project doesn't give automatic notability by legacy. ...Last, I know it's not actual grounds to delete, but I'm still always suspicious toward single-purpose accounts that have no other contributions even though they've had ample time to improve the page or work elsewhere. A PROD tag was deleted without reason originally and the author hasn't done any real work sense the AfD tag more than a week ago. Opportunity has certainly been given to improve but hasn't happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Datheisen (talk • contribs) 13:17, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
