Threshold (video game)
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

This topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources such that we could write a dedicated encyclopedia article on the topic without resorting to original research. Remove the interviews and primary/affiliated sources from the current article and all that's left are passing invocations—no extended analysis with which we can write about the game itself.

For additional, uncited coverage: The topic had no substantive analytical coverage either from the decade since our last discussion or those preceding in Google Books, Google Scholar, or a custom Google search of video game sources. The sourcing questions of 2009 are long resolved now: As a rule, we don't cite WordPress blogs. We don't use expert blogs as indication of wider notability. We use sources that show editorial distance and pedigree. This article is a case study of how an article languishes when we can cite no such source about the actual gameplay, development, reception, or legacy of a topic: Reliable, secondary sources haven't provided enough content with which our encyclopedia can do the topic justice.

For alternatives to deletion: There are no worthwhile redirect targets, as our List of MUDs only lists games with their own articles. czar 06:49, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. One reliable source is not sufficient coverage. The various blogs and self-published articles currently used in the article are not reliable, for that matter. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 00:42, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
