No reliable sources establishing notability, delete as per WP:WEB and WP:CORP. Tagged with reliable sources tag since July 2008. Peephole (talk) 21:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC) Weak keep: sufficient sources, but needs expansion of notability criteria. Jofakēt (talk) 22:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I agree it needs additional external support in the article, but it seems to have a loyal fanbase (websites claims 35,000 users). Also, it's been featured in PC Gamer (picture from nukezone website, so it's not open and shut). A lot of the sources are probably in Swedish, so someone who can read Swedish would be helpful to this discussion. I could be swayed strongly either way by objective, third party information. If that doesn't show up though, I'd lean towards keeping it. Shadowjams (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The amount of users is no argument for inclusion in Wikipedia. Reliable coverage is what we're looking for. The PC Gamer article is trivial. --Peephole (talk) 21:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment There never was an argument made that the number of users warrants inclusion. However I do argue that the number of users is an important piece to understand the context of the subject's notability. Consciously blinding the discussion from the number of users would be a strangely dogmatic approach. There is absolutely nothing in the notability criteria that indicates that popularity is an irrelevant factor. It indicates that popularity is not itself a notability criteria. I understand the allusion to WP:BIG but that is not the argument here. Shadowjams (talk) 02:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment You claim there are other reliable sources out there, I googled a little and I found nothing. Please, if you think this article should stay, find some yourself and post them. But the way it is now, without reliable sources, it should go. --Peephole (talk) 03:17, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Only sources are links to the game's website, a link directory and a trivial mention in PC Gamer. --Peephole (talk) 22:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
