Roller Coaster (video game)

does not assert notability. Article provides no third party sources asserting notability βcommand 01:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is an old game, so expectedly, it is not easy to find information asserting notability. This combined with less interest makes it hard to say that it can't be asserted as notable. On top of that, it creates precedence to delete many other games. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It has some coverage as a game by third party sources and real-world relevance, even if the article does need to be cleaned up some.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 04:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game related deletions. SashaNein (talk) 04:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Reviewed by CRASH magazine, a notable ZX Spectrum magazine. I also don't want 95% of Atari 2600 articles, and 90% of all classic video game articles deleted based off the potential horrible precedent set by this nom that may have came about on bad terms from Deletion Review just because two Fair Use images formerly in this article tagged by BetaCommandBot failed to have a rationale.

 * Keep – Definitely encyclopedic in nature. MuZemike (talk) 05:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment – If anything, it needs cleanup. I've read said article above, and deleting all images, as infringing copyright-wise it may seem, is still no grounds for recommending an entire article for AfD, unless the article itself jeopardizes a copyright claim, in which this is not the case.

 * 2nd Comment AfD nomination is also incomplete. MuZemike (talk) 05:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - published work. Betacommand may wish to have a read of Notability (toys_and_games). --Oscarthecat (talk) 06:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup - numerous third party references to this game do exist, particularly via magazines. It shouldn't be too difficult to add in-line citations to these magazines into the article. What has been affecting other video game articles (ie. Sonic) isn't the case here. --tgheretford (talk) 07:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep game was awarded a Crash Smash and was the first game to feature amusement park rides. I will work on the article to try to clean it up. --  JediLofty UserTalk 08:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article asserts plenty of notability, and certainly meets the video game notability criteria. It just isn't all referenced.  This can be addressed, and is certainly not a reason for deletion. Neıl  龱  09:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Use this site and search for 'Roller Coaster' and you'll get no less than four magazine reviews uploaded and ready to be cited, thanks to Miremare for bringing the site up :) Someoneanother 09:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
