This was a PROD, contested by an IP without any explanation, so unfortunately we need to have an AfD over a pointless two sentence article which I do not see as being a worthwhile stub for a valid encyclopaedic subject. The original rationale was "Non-notable neologism. If worthy of mention at all it should be in an existing article (very briefly!) and not in an article of its own." and I stand by that. It is more or less orphaned. There is nothing but a link on this disambiguation page: IFrame. This suggests that nobody has a use/need for it. DanielRigal ( talk) 11:36, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

- Title should have been "Invincibility frame (video game)". Anyway I don't really recall/find any name actually widely recognized by RS for that "flashy instance just after respawn", and this name is only very sparingly used in some reliable publications but none more than passing mentions. Delete and oppose to listing in

- If by some chance this is kept it should be Invincibility Frame since there is no other article with that tilte making (video game) unnecessary.-- 174.91.187.135 ( talk) 05:30, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Google results appear to be mostly user-generated content, such as TV Tropes and other open wikis. While it does get scattered trivial mentions in reliable sources, nobody makes the effort to discuss or define it. Part of the problem is that there's really nothing to say. It's a self-explanatory term that describes a very minor aspect of gameplay – and, as a term, is not even all that common. It's already mentioned in the glossary, so there's no need to merge.

- Delete. Not enough coverage to warrant an article. May be worth a mention at the video game term glossary if a reliable source has covered it appropriately. – czar 06:24, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: Surprisingly, there wasn't anything reliable about invincibility frames that I could find. I agree with Hisashiyarouin about the move, should it survive. Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 01:50, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
