Oh Shit!

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Noon-notable game. The references are (1) a  download  site that tells us nothing about the game,  just lets us download it,  and (2) a single review on a game site. Not enough there to suggest notability by Wikipedia standards. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:53, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Nominator, are you saying GameSpot is a download site?  Salvidrim!   19:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I looked at the page, saw no content about the game apart from its title, but saw something saying "Download pc game", so I thought it was a page to download the game. Prompted by your question, I have looked back at the page, and I see that "Download pc game" is a promotional link to a website selling other games. However, my main point about that "reference" is if anything even more valid: the "reference" tells us nothing at all about the game, except that it exists. It doesn't even tell us that it can be downloaded, as I originally thought. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:41, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete - HardcoreGaming101 is a very slim source (situational at WP:VG/S but not for this author); GameSpot does nothing for notability. I contested the PROD and worked on it a bit hoping to find sources (certainly a 1985 game featuring digitized voices spouting profanity when you die must have gotten some coverage?), but it seems online sources don't support the notability. Perhaps if we had access to contemporary sources it might yield better results.  Salvidrim!   19:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Is there any evidence that the developer is notable, or that the game had a proper release? In the 1980s lots of people sold games through small ads and mail order, just as today they sell downloads.  I'd love this article to be a keep, but I'm not finding anything at the moment (though i definitely recommend searching purely for the wide range of unrelated results), and I'm not sure if it would even have got significant coverage at the time. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
