Article topic lacks
significant coverage from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) We tried merging it to a list of visual novel engines, but there weren't enough sources on the engines as a concept. Perhaps the
visual novel article could house a redirect. czar 05:38, 23 March 2016 (UTC)reply
Comment I added a
Visual_novel#Engines section to the visual novel article and made a subsection about KiriKiri there. --

Keep I added more content and several more references (including at least three significant ones, although one is a Bachelor's thesis in Finnish).

The sources added are either passing mentions, unreliable sources, or primary sources. We need secondary sources that discuss the topic in detail—otherwise we're best off redirecting to the section where Mr. Magoo has already mentioned the engine. czar 03:00, 2 April 2016 (UTC)reply
I am curious how you rate the "History and Comparative Study of Modern Game Engines" in International Journal of Advanced Computer and Mathematical Sciences (true it mentions all visual novel engines in passing but takes the space to call out the name of a few including Kirikiri) and Janne Romppanen's Bachelor's thesis paper as unreliable and or primary. The thesis has an entire section dedicated to Kirikiri; the only downside is that is it written in Finnish of course. Since Kirikiri Japanese software is a subject covered mostly in Japanese I recommend you work on getting consensus to have the Japanese Wikipedia article removed before getting the English article removed as the English article is bound to lag behind the Japanese content (you will likely get a better response there too).

This is the English Wikipedia, we're independent from the Japanese one.

Delete or redirect – The standard for notability on Wikipedia is significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. There isn't enough such coverage available for a standalone article at this time.
Visual novel#Engines is a potential redirect target (and thanks to Mr. Magoo for expanding that subsection), but a Google search appears to indicate that
Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison in Nigeria might be the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here.

Maybe for
Kirikiri but
KiriKiri (with CamelCase) clearly denotes the engine, no? czar 11:02, 6 April 2016 (UTC)reply
Simply because I perceived there to be more sources about the prison than other topics in my searches, especially on Google News. Admittedly, I did not even realize that those other topics existed, so now that you bring them up, I can see the need for a disambiguation page too.

Delete. Does not meet
WP:GNG. Not enough reliable sources, and one bachelor's thesis is not enough to pass
WP:GNG.

Redirect to
Visual novel#Engines - Having played a few (mostly doujin) games made with the engine, it's kind of weird for me to !vote against keeping the article. However, while there are some sources in English, these aren't enough to establish notability, while Japanese coverage is even more lacking. However, the engine appears to be relatively well-known among VN developers and fans, and thus appear to be a plausible search term, so a redirect wouldn't hurt. As there appears to be several things called "Kirikiri",
Kirikiri could be converted into a disambugation page.
