Pepsiman (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NN video game. It hasn't garnered the significant coverage in reliable secondary sources to meet WP:GNG - it seems also to have no realworld significance outside of the advertising campaign it was associated with well covered at Pepsiman. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:55, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - The sources in the article alone are probably enough for a weak keep, but I remember reading about this game in print magazines on the 1990s too. I'll do some digging, but I'm fairly certain this one has the necessary coverage. (Ironically, there's another reliable source - IGN - at the main PM article mentioned in the nomination - http://m.ign.com/articles/1999/03/10/pepsiman-playstations-strangest-moment)   Sergecross73   msg me  02:41, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: This GamesRadar article and this GameSpot one might help to establish its notability. Tezero (talk) 03:48, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - appears to have enough independent sources. VMS Mosaic (talk) 07:15, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep: I reviewed this AfD filed by the nom, and found a blizzard of high quality, substantive sources (including the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, Rolling Stone magazine, the Associated Press and Newsweek, demonstrating that the nom didn't make the slightest effort to source the article, as WP:BEFORE requires he do before filing an AfD. I checked his contribution history, and found to my shock that in the course of over five hundred edits he made over the last two days, he filed the astonishing number of 51 AfDs, some of them as little as three minutes apart.  This is absurd, and worth taking to AN/I, but in the meantime all of these AfDs ought to be pulled as obvious failures of WP:BEFORE.   Ravenswing   09:00, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per everyone & sources above. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  10:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
