Notability concerns

Well written as the article may be, I have concerns regarding the subject's notability. The only coverage offered is from a handful of blog posts. Being an entrant into an indie gaming competition does not infer the same kind of notability as being commercially published. I have seen mods deleted with stronger claims of notability than this games. - hahnch e n 15:09, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A blog post by the senior editor of Kotaku concerned the game, which counts as a reliable/notable source in the video game sources list. Your argument that other things were deleted can go both ways: there are many less notable game articles than this one that could be deleted.--_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing the delete notice. The article is perfetly well written. I don't see why it should be deleted, It's short and informative. There's not much to say besides what is there.

You can't remove deletion notices, however, if you oppose the article's deletion, mention your arguments and vote "keep" on its deletion page. Also, if you could specifically say where it was mentioned in PC Gamer, it would remove the notability concerns. As it is, I still think it's sufficiently notable for a game this small.--_{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
