Non-Notable website. Fails WP:WEB, as far as I can tell. Also, references are the domain's whois data (That's a new one....), and, a forum thread. SQL(Query Me!) 20:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete when an article has to rely on a thread from its own forums for sourcing, that's a baaad sign. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:47, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like an ad to me. -- Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  14:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep for now — Part of the problem is it is something a "cult" website. Most of the editors (including me) are/are probably XGen regulars. However, what else is there to cite other than the forums? It's evidence that the game exists. I've removed some of the unverified stuff. I say we delete Stick Arena: Go Ballistick!. What isn't advertising there is specualation. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Anotherpongo 18:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't speak for most editors, but yes, I am an XGen regular. Due to this, and as I think that the site is notable, but only because I know lots of people who use it and not because reliable third-parties have talked about it, I'm abstaining from the discussion. But while keeping the main article is questionable, I don't think any individual game (with the possible-but-unlikely-exception of Defend Your Castle) has sufficient notability. -- Mike (Kicking222) 19:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete what part of WP:CORP or WP:WEB is this supposed to meet? It has the same amount of 3rd party coverage as my local Chinese restaurant whose menu is on the web but doesn't have a WP article - and doesn't merit one despite the fact that lots of people rave about their General Cho's chicken. Yes, just a cadre of insiders like it but hasn't been covered significantly by reliable 3rd party's - just like my restaurant. Carlossuarez46 23:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
