Richman 4

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this as a speedy with the assertion "content is wrong and imnecessary". The game does technically exist (although the year appeared to be wrong, which I've removed) and since it doesn't technically fall under any real speedy criteria I'm listing it for AfD. It exists, but does not appear to be notable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Richman 4, also named as "da fu weng 4" , is a famous and classic windows game in great China area. The game is only published by Chinese language, so it is not well known by non-Chinese people. Please reference this link. [] I think the article name can be changed to da fu weng 4 if it is approved by most people. Thanks. Daiquping (talk) 12:33, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Oh god the nostalgia, I used to play the sh*t out of 5 and 6. However in the AfD department it would be hard to save this pretty old (1998) game, which would need to dig up older printed Chinese (mostly from Taiwan) materials. Via Google Books I can find noting "Richman 4 was a glorious apex and a turning point for the series" and  having a Richman article (although looks to be more focused on the whole series). The online sources I can think of reaches to at most like 5, and the really solid ones don't start until 7 . Peculiarly though, note that this is the only article on anything Richman in enwp, nothing on the whole series or any of the other seven games until 8 (and online and mobile ports). It might be also possible to save this in the form of a merged Richman (series), with the news that a Richman 9 might be coming out .  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 12:51, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * PS No point referencing zh:大富翁4 because that was WP:NOTGUIDE like crazy (in fact also 3 through 8). But I did find a source via their Richman article, that has content for until 6 and lists two awards for 4 specifically.  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 13:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment - Perhaps you'd be best to make a series wide article and merge it in, if it is on the edge between definitely notable and maybe not?  JT dale Talk ~ 01:57, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I have started a prototype of sorts at Richman (series), partially referencing zh:大富翁系列.  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 06:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - No notable issue. Keep as a stub. Daiquping (talk) 12:22, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge the Richman (series) article that yarouin just made makes this article unnecessary. If the series article grows enough to make length a concern, then maybe we should consider a split, but until then, I see no reason to insist that a one two sentence article get its own separate page.
