Silkroad Online

Tagged db-spam and I agree that the article is laudatory and entirely lacking in balance, but it's the work of multiple editors so is more likely a fan POV issue than outright spam. That said, the article is almost entirely self-sourced and contains no evidence of notability established from independent reliable sources. I believe it needs a Heyman standard rewrite, in its present form it fails WP:NPOV, WP:RS and probably WP:N. Guy (Help!) 21:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete—A lack of third-party coverage of this game leads me to conclude it is not notable. Livitup (talk) 16:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep 1) The NPOV dispute dated March 2008 is a concern that the article is too critical of the game. 2) It's true that English language sources are lacking, but this is a Korean video game, and a Korean language Google search turned up plenty of independent sources, such as Gamespot Korea's coverage of the game.  3) I agree the how-to-play stuff is taking up way too much space; I added a Copy to gaming wiki template as a heads up.

 * Delete -- I have little to comment on as I think others hit on it very well with the NPOV/RS issues which are flagrant throughout the entire article. Copperwire (talk) 15:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
