United Command International

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The company is a maker of games for the iOS platform, but has no significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. Whpq (talk) 11:01, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Keep This company was featured in UK press and iPhone magazine (around April 2011) This company is a member of TIGA a trade body for the UK games industry. http://www.tiga.org/ I can quite easily find 3rd party references online via a google search, such as the "indie games database" http://www.indiedb.com/company/united-command-international ??? Maybe not as widely recognised in Canada as in the UK ?? notability. PeanutPower (talk) 11:01, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Keep Hi, iPhone / wiki user from Ireland here. I search new games quite alot. I've seen this company prominently featured in the charts several times. Not sure how to "cite" this though. Hope that helps Cheers, Kyle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 54.247.180.45 (talk) 12:35, 16 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - What is needed is specific citations to coverage and not just assertions that the company has coverage. Can you tell us what magazine, issue, page number etc? -- Whpq (talk) 13:18, 16 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Page 47 "iPhone BiWeekly Magazine", it's a full page article on "Cupcake Swap" by United Command. I dunno how I could cite that app store, that's where the company's predominantly featured here — Preceding unsigned comment added by 54.247.180.45 (talk) 15:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Tap! Magazine and iPhone Life no idea about the issue numbers though so I haven't cited. PeanutPower (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:30, 16 April 2012 (UTC).


 * Comment There is an article on the company's website that say's iPhone BiWeekly Magazine March Edition but that's a Hong Kong magazine, was that the same one you saw? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeanutPower (talk • contribs) 15:39, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Comment - WP:NOTTEMPORARY According to the data I found on the independant and reliable source AppAnnie AppAnnie - the apparent defacto choice for app performance analytics the company has had several #1 chart position titles. I would propose that this made the company noteable at that time since there are more than 300 million iOS users, to put that in context I believe Wikipedia has 17m registered users so if something was on the front page of wikipedia (like the SOPA campaign) for several weeks would that not be notable--PeanutPower (talk) 10:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This company has been around on the app store for ages. They are famous for making mediocre games... read the reviews if you don't believe me! I quote: "The graphics are atrocious, with the thrust hidden by the player's finger and some of the weakest explosions I've ever seen. The soundtrack is stolen straight from "Air Attack." You can only level your single weapon twice. There are four enemy ships that all do the same thing; fly and shoot vertically. YOU CAN CRASH INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. A huge ad covers the top of the screen.—I could go on, but I think I've been generous by even writing this review." --LordOfKobol (talk) 16:32, 16 April 2012 (UTC) — LordOfKobol (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Reply - Their fame "for making mediocre games" still needs to be backed up by reliable sources, and not just a bunch of user reivews on iTunes. -- Whpq (talk) 16:38, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - User reviews from iTunes don't help establish notability.
 * Delete - No coverage in reliable, third party sources. So far, none of the "Keep" !votes have been able to provide any proof otherwise, nor have I been able to find anything myself. Websites like Gamespot or Gamezebo only have virtually empty database entries on the company. Fails the WP:GNG. Sergecross73   msg me   23:21, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Reply - The sales charts by themselves simply are facts. They may hint at notability but they don't demonstrate notability.   Fundamentally, what is needed is significant coverage in independent reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 13:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Seconded. Futhermore, the size of the iPhone's userbase is irrelevent, and WP:NOTTEMPORARY is irrelevent because no one is claiming they were once notable, but no longer are. What you would need is websites like IGN, Eurogamer, etc writing articles about them. Sergecross73   msg me   15:31, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The company does not meet WP:CORP; I was unable to find any coverage in WP:RS. Peanut Power, if this company is developing and selling as many apps as some of these sales chart suggest, I imagine it may someday receive the requisite independent and reliable coverage necessary for inclusion. However, I do not feel that this company's notability has been established at this point. None but shining hours (talk) 18:15, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
