Wirehead (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This game doesn't seem to be notable. The article currently cites only two sources, one of them being MobyGames, which, according to WP:VG/RS, is unreliable. I wasn't able to find any reliable sources discussing the game with a web search. However, because of the game's age, sources discussing it might be mostly printed and not available online.

 * Keep. A cursory glance shows me multiple RSes, including All Games, GamePro, Hardcore Gaming 101, Sega Visions, 1UP.com, and Polygon, that covered this game. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 09:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep It passes WP:GNG with multiple significant coverage in reliable sources, such as GamePro, AllGame , The Charlotte Observer , Polygon (website) , and Sega Visions . It had a preview in Mean Machines , and it seems it also got a review in Sega Power Issue 75, but I was not able to find it anywhere archived sadly. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:42, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Per sources above. You’ve got to search for sources different when it’s 90s games or older. Sources are locked away in hard copy magazines, not always in Google searches. Sergecross73   msg me  14:04, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources above. — Toughpigs (talk) 14:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, seems like there are enough sources to help boost the article. Govvy (talk) 16:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
