Rodeo Judge (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG. First reference is a sound clip of a promotional local radio interview with the creator, second ref is, by admission, a press release. (talk) 23:40, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

I am not sure I understand the reasons for this deletion discussion. Wikipedia has specific formats for citations of press releases, yet you are saying press releases are not valid for citations. That is a contradiction. The radio interview was with Scott Mendes, the inventor of the game. It was not a paid for promotion. The radio station contacted him to learn more about the game. He was their guest speaker on a daily radio show. That is an independent source that interviewed Scott and talked about his new game. I have added a few more references, two of which are Wikipedia articles confirming that Rodeo Judge is legit. Regardless if these documents stand up to Wikipedia standard of public opinion or not, this game is out there and in the real world history books. Removing it from Wikipedia does not erase that fact. cyberstarboy

 * Press releases are valid citations but not enough for an article to pass WP:N which calls for non trivial coverage from multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. For obvious reason press releases are not independent. I also don't see how the interview can be said to be independent since it was directly tied to the creator. What you need are things like reviews, critical analysis, etc.--65.94.252.40 (talk) 05:27, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Topic lacks significant coverage from reliable secondary sources. --The1337gamer (talk) 16:18, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) The sources in the article are either unreliable or are not secondary/independent sources. The topic had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. There are no worthwhile redirect targets. Please ping me you find more (non-English and offline) sources. – czar   17:16, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
