Wargame: European Escalation

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball no proof of notability shown. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:30, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Though the game doesn't seem to be released yet, there are already plenty of previews available that give significant coverage. http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/wargameeuropeanescalation/previews.html http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/10/25/ruse-developer-eugen-explains-upcoming-wargame-european-escalation/ http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/05/13/wargame-european-escalation-announced/ are the first promising results. I haven't looked further yet, but there is plenty around to make a largish stub or a small full article. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep – Looks like the sources are substantive enough to establish notability. --MuZemike 00:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep- Coverage in reliable, third party sources.
 * IGN
 * GameSpy
 * Destructoid
 * GameSpot
 * Notability established. Sergecross73   msg me   03:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - While it doesn't look like the deletion is going to happen at this point, I feel I should say that as the person who made the article there was a reference substantiating notability right from the start, even assuming Google does not work for Darkness Shines. I am not sure what his motivation is here but it is difficult to interpret his actions as being in good faith. Praetonia (talk) 14:53, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's in fact partially my fault. When I rejected speedy deletion on the article, I suggested that AfD per WP:Crystal might be in order. I didn't look further (yet) to see if it would hold up to an AfD, so I can understand his reasoning. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:37, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * True, but it's still questionable that he was vouching for Speedy Deletion, prior to that, completely of his own will and influence. (Which is even more of a stretch.) Sergecross73   msg me   21:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per sources above. SL93 (talk) 00:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is a game I've been waiting for and I know that this game is gonna become huge! Source from IGN.com is good enough from above Jwjkim (talk) 05:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Best possible reason to trust the validity of the game, it is currently being offered on the Steam store with a release data of Fed 23, 2012 SilentVendetta (talk) 08:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The coverage makes it easily pass WP:GNG. I added a bit of additional referenced material to the article.   D r e a m Focus  12:42, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
