 * Deletion For My Friend Scooby Doo!
 * I highly disagree with the deletion of the article, because it tells true and uproot facts about the specific topic. Thanks Deftomo2 (talk) 02:05, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Deftomo2
 * "But it's true!" is not a valid reason for keeping an article. Gparyani (talk) 02:51, 26 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. No proof whatsoever that this is notable by our standards. Deftomo2, please see WP:NOTABILITY for the relevant guidelines and policies. Drmies (talk) 02:29, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Disagreed. "No proof". Really. Why don't you just download it for yourself and you will find out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deftomo2 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 26 July 2015‎ (UTC)
 * Sure, it does tell us how notable it can be later on, but we assess our notability based on the present, not the future. Gparyani (talk) 02:51, 26 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable in the present. Maybe in the future, but certainly not right at this moment. Gparyani (talk) 02:51, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect to Scooby-Doo. Scooby Doo is notable as a character and a show, but the game does not automatically inherit this notability because it exists. (WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:ITEXISTS) I cannot find where this game has actually received coverage in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS, as the only non-WP:PRIMARY sources are ones in various download and forum type sites. The game is new, but the problem with app games (even ones that are officially licensed) is that there are a lot of mobile app games. It's actually fairly rare that they ever gain the coverage necessary to warrant an article and the more time that passes, the less likely it will be that the app will ever gain this coverage. At the same time though, this game is officially licensed and as such, could be listed at Scooby-Doo. However I need to stress that this is the only place it should be listed at this point in time.

 * Weak Keep Regret to tell Deftomo2 that what you said was not how you argue to keep an article. There are potential sources here and there though, to do it justice: Android Community (reliable?) USA Today (is 1/3 of a list about kids mobile games).  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 15:56, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as insufficiently notable. I don't think Hisashiyarouin's references quite rise to the level of WP:GNG PianoDan (talk) 14:39, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to Tokyogirl's location. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. Please ping me you find more (non-English and offline) sources. – czar   08:24, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
