Novus (role-playing game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is on a game whose only source is an entry at Goodreads, a non-RS user-generated review site.

A WP:BEFORE in the following fails to find any references: newspapers.com, Google Books, Google News, JSTOR.

A general Google search turns-up a handful of additional sources all of which are non-RS and, even if they weren't, merely prove the game exists versus it being notable: rpg.net (citizen journalism site), drivethrurpg.com (retail ecommerce site), plus several blogs, web forums, and the usual.

 * Delete Chetsford has pretty much said everything I want to. As well as being unsourced, and no obvious sources turning up, the article looks completely unsuitable for an encyclopedia topic. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:02, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete, article seems to be blatant advertisement. CabbagePower (talk) 16:51, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The author is probably notable (HARP author I believe), but all I can find is this, which isn't much. I'd suggest a redirect, but I'm not sure where to redirect to.  Is there a good list article somewhere?   Hobit (talk) 03:53, 28 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Same as above reasons: no sources (a Goodreads entry is similar a Facebook entry) and I cannot find any reliable sources (if anyone can find one, please let us know). William2001(talk) 00:37, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
