This is a borderline case, but I think it falls to the delete side. The article itself is just about content-free. The one included source is a very trivial mention that essentially says the game is canceled and nothing else. I looked around for some other sources, and the only real details I've found is that the game was to be an episodic comedic game about working in an office. There's nothing else out there as far as I can tell, and that's just not enough to pass WP:GNG. —Torchiest talkedits 00:11, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment: asked for my thoughts on this article, so I thought I'd share them here. I'm seeing a few sources that could be added to the article and that would satisfy the requirements of the GNG: Wired, MTV, 1UP.com. IGN has a page on it, albeit one without a byline. At worst, I'd say merge it, but I don't see a really good merge target: Category:Cancelled PlayStation 3 games exists, but there's no corresponding list article. 28bytes (talk) 04:02, 25 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: Cancelled video games are against higher standards than most games. Look at StarCraft: Ghost, Star Wars 1313 or Armada of the Damned for an example of which type of coverage a cancelled game should receive to be considered notable enough to have an article. However, I will do a thorough research to see what I can find before weighing on whether to delete this or not. — ΛΧΣ  21  Call me Hahc21 07:08, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I got this: IGN, IGN (thanks ). The MTV article is amazing, since it covers a lot of info useful for the article. I also found these: Ripten, Animation Rowld Network, The Escapist and Eurogamer. So, this is a Keep. — ΛΧΣ  21  Call me Hahc21 07:15, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Per 28bytes and ΛΧΣ. Enough reliable sources have been found to establish this topic's notability.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 22:40, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
