My Little Pony: Fighting Is Magic

As much as I wanted to be neutral in this, I am struggling to see how this article could be notable despite sources from Gameland (Russian), The Escapist, and GamePro.  Rainbow  Dash  !xmcuvg2MH 13:55, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * As an alternative because of the sourcing, I don't mind any request for userfication if made.  Rainbow  Dash  !xmcuvg2MH 13:57, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep (as article creator and sole contributor) The game is notable as a professional quality, fan man game. You have the sources there that have picked up on that and have covered it. Brightgalrs ( /braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/ )[1]  14:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep I see multiple reliable sources with non-trivial mentions. Basic WP:GNG satisfied, ergo notable. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 15:23, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I was tempted to nominate this myself as it is a fan project without any set release date, but the fact that there are presently 3 reliable sources that discuss the work do make it notable, albeit weakly. It is possible that this could be redirected to the main MLP:FIM article since, within context of the fandom of the show, this could be called out, should this discussion trend towards deletion. --M ASEM  (t) 15:37, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. A few sources reporting on this as a novelty doesn't make it a notable project; this is a good time to apply WP:NOTNEWS. Theoldsparkle (talk) 19:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree... Merge. This seems to often be the approach for video games and other adaptations of larger works that aren't notable enough to warrant their own article. I'll leave a comment on the show's article's talk page notifying them of this discussion. Bobnorwal (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep This article should definitely not be merged. It's a fan game, and I feel like giving it mention on the page of an extremely popular TV show could make some people very upset.  At the moment, though the article is very short, it already has a lot of citation and sources related to it.  I vote to keep it, mostly for the fact that after the game is actually released, I imagine there will be a lot more information and traffic to the page.
