I'm not entirely sure this passes WP:N, even though it's well-written! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry 03:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wait, somebody thought a strategy guide for a video game needs an article? It could possible be speedy deleted for A7 (no assertion of notability) or possibly G11 (blatant advertising). The section on the authors also is not neutral and sounds like it might be from the strategy guide itself. TJ Spyke 05:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Notability is very relative. In the Street Fighter community this guide is well known and highly praised. Before this guide came out, no serious tournament player would even look at a guide, especially one from BradyGames. They were written by writers who not only had no real tournament experience, no actual experience with the game. If anything, tournament players would purchase the Japanese guides even though they could not read the strategy information, solely because of the technical frame data. The Anniversary guide set a new standard for what an American strategy guide could be. It was the first to include frame data, proven tournament strategy, and was written by actual tournament players. The profile of the players is part of what gives this guide its legitimacy as an accurate source of information. It was well received and highly praised amount Street Fighter players. The book itself is an encyclopedia of tournament knowledge.  How is notability defined in Wikipedia? There are entries for obscure and rare video games for instance. Many of those are not notable other than that they were published at one point. However, they still contain knowledge and are probably of interest to some people. This guide is notable in the Street Fighter community. Mopreme 13:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with some reluctance. The relevant notability guideline would appear to be for books, and it does not appear that it meets any of the criteria for per se inclusion.  The claim that this guide was much better received than other BradyGames guides would appear to need sourcing from reliable sources, although IMO gaming websites might be reliable on these matters.  Without that, it's just an article about a game guide.  If kept, it should move to a properly spelled title. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Move to new title to correct spelling error. Mopreme 20:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
