Rocket Arena (mod)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article appears to fail WP:GNG with only a couple reviews from a single publication, not even of the same version of the mod. Apparently the previous deletion discussion resulted in a keep from some "random mentions" - standards were definitely lower in 2006. While I did a magazine search, and there are mentions of the mod in many gaming magazines, they all appear to be from one to a few sentences long, trivial and without much analysis. This lack of WP:SIGCOV is not fitting for a standalone article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:08, 26 March 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  11:39, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Deathmatch. Even as a game mode in Doom 2016 or Quake Live, I failed to find significant coverage. --Mika1h (talk) 11:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect to Quake (series). This is a mod for a single series of video games, and one magazine's coverage of it does not represent sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. I'd argue that in an ideal world, there would be a "Mods" section added to the Quake series article that could go into more in-depth coverage here, and I'd say that this could maybe have a sentence at most. Definitely does not feel like a full merge is appropriate. Nomader  ( talk ) 18:19, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean "a full merge" but I guess redirect is fine. Deathmatch would be more appropriate target since it's also a mod for Unreal Tournament and a game mode in Doom 2016. --Mika1h (talk) 08:46, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah I didn't catch that in my readthrough, thanks for the clarification. I'd be fine with that as the redirect target. Nomader  ( talk ) 13:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge. I wasn't able to find any good sources. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 02:53, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect due to insufficient coverage. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:56, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
