MonoGame has been published in books, featured in game development magazines, and been a subject of popular podcasts. It is used in critically acclaimed games like Bastion and Fez. I see plenty of significance and disagree with the deletion. Tspilman (talk) 04:07, 26 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep : has acquired enough references since nomination to establish notability. Dcxf (talk) 08:57, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Just by being the successor to Microsoft XNA, MonoGame has earned it's place in the history books as a show of defiance by the community to not let such a fantastic platform die and even expand on the original idea that was XNA SimonDarksideJ (talk) 11:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
