PAKO (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:GNG. The poor quality references don't establish significant coverage, nor do they confirm much of the text which reads like a self-written game review, so I suspect WP:OR. Derek Andrews (talk) 14:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: Plenty of reviews on Pako 2 given a flick through the news section in a BEFORE google search, as well as the critic links in metacritic (one needs a google translate). Certainly enough to satisfy WP:GNG, as well as WP:NVG for those that like it.


 * These refs are all for Pako 2, and I'd suggest a name-change, post a keep !vote in AfD. Regarding the WP:OR claim - I think that might be hard to demonstrate sufficiently. There are WP:PROMO aspects, and it clearly isn't smoothly written, but neither of those is grounds for deletion. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:55, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Passes WP:NVG. I didn't see any promotional aspect to the writing, but the grammar was poor and I've since revised it. By the way, I moved the page from it's original title to PAKO 2 (video game). Nanophosis (talk) 00:29, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep https://toucharcade.com/2014/08/22/pako-car-chase-simulator-review/ is a review for the first game written in 2014, but the title is now changed to talk about the second game that came out in 2017. The metacritic entry http://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/pako-2 is for the second game.  Do the four review sites it mentions there count as reliable sources?  The article at the time it was nominated for deletion was about both games.  I think the name should be changed back, and just have both games there since you have references for both of them, and they are similar.   D r e a m Focus  19:30, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The sources look mainy like user generated content to me. --Derek Andrews (talk) 20:04, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: agreeing with Nanophosis, article seems to pass WP:NVG. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 03:05, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep it has reliable source. Mayamaya7  Poke!  08:03, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability not established, since coverage is routine (ie having a game review does not make it notable). Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 03:11, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
