Rain (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Upcoming video games are not usually notable, unless they generate enough buzz before their release. This doesn't appear to be the case - few minor mentions on a websites that list most upcoming games is not enough. Suggest userfying (this may become notable after the release, after all).

Comment - It's worth noting it was mentioned and had a trailer reveal during Sony's E3 keynote this year, would that establish nobility? Skullbird11 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Directly, no, but probably indirectly. While their presentation itself wouldn't help go towards meeting the WP:GNG, the fact that it was featured at such a large scale presentation goes to show that the third party coverage needed to meet the GNG is very likely to exist. The odds of a large corporation doing a huge presentation on it, and no third parties reporting on it, is probably going to be rather slim. Sergecross73   msg me   12:58, 25 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - I can do more source hunting if need be, but if the number of articles IGN alone has on the game is any indicator, there is plenty of coverage out there to meet the WP:GNG... Sergecross73   msg me   01:07, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - plenty of reliable sources exist for this game, including webpages with Rain as its main subject, instead of "minor mentions".  ~ satellizer ~ ~ talk ~   05:40, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficient coverage already, but confirmed that there's more than just beyond IGN that have talked about this game. Yes, normally, a game with a little bit of prerelease coverage should probably be covered in other facets, but as a new IP, it's hard to do that, so a separate article is reasonable at this time. --M ASEM  (t) 14:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
