Non-notable video game with bad sourcing. I tried to find some sources (in both English and Russian) and came across this and this, but I'm not sure of their reliability (and it wouldn't be enough to indicate notability anyway). Anarchyte ( work | talk) 10:41, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

- Comment I also found these two sources. I would say that does get close towards notoriety. I do have another worry, and that's
WP:COI, due to the creator only having one edit.

WP:VG/RS and the MMOS.com source is unreliable, so that takes one out of the picture.

Anarchyte:, so most likely COI? Could just be a big fan, but irregardless. the MMOs.com article does indeed look promotional, what about the MMOCulture.com? That looks like a decent reference to me.

- I wouldn't bet on it, to be honest. It looks very WP:SPS-y. I've only seen one author ("cinderboy"/Robert Chen) and I can't see any "about us" pages or any background information on the site, besides that it's been up since 2009 (© 2009 - 2017 MMO Culture).

- Delete - can't find any significant coverage in independent sources to support an article (though I can't read Russian, so I may have missed something). Ajpolino ( talk) 23:14, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. I note that the Russian Wikipedia has a substantial article with more references. Do they have a similar notability guideline as here? Ifnord ( talk) 01:46, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- @ Ifnord: The article on that Wikipedia is also up for deletion. Perhaps it's because of a language barrier, but none of the sources are mentioned on WP:VG/RS, so I wouldn't bet on them being reliable. Anarchyte ( work | talk) 02:07, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, especially given the Russian AfD as noted above. Ifnord ( talk) 16:50, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
