Paladins (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Three sources, two of which are taken form press releases and the third is a fan wiki. No evidence of significance. Guy (Help!) 00:09, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. I was able to find a number of articles about the game in RSes (including Forbes, IGN, Gamespot and PC Gamer) without much effort at all: . Joe Roe (talk) 03:25, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - With all due respect JzG, this AfD nom falls way short of WP:BEFORE. A simple Google search returns dozens of examples of sigcov in RSes (some of which have been provided by Joe Roe above). Millions of players, active eSport, direct competition to one of 2016's biggest games, all the coverage you could ever want is there online, the article just needs someone to work on it and add these sources. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  14:56, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep While the current state of the article could definitely use work, there are plenty of reliable sources that discuss the game, as shown above. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:23, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - per list of sources above - IGN, Eurogamer, GameSpot, and PCGamer are all very mainstream third party reliable sources. I too feel this was a failure of WP:BEFORE. Sergecross73   msg me  13:54, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Eh, I don't fault the lack of search, but at the very least this is a game by a developer with its own article, so it should have been redirected there before being brought to AfD. This said, reliable sourcing clearly exists for this topic even though it wasn't in the article. The move would have been to merge it to its parent and then to split it summary style when warranted, but doesn't look like that happened. Recommend withdrawing the nom. czar  06:55, 23 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Through a simple google search I found tons of articles on this game. It also seems to be made by a notable developer. Weegeerunner chat it up 23:42, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
