Contested deletion

It's a stub about a current game that has been covered in the gaming press. I don't see what is unencyclopedic about this. I have no connection to Eugen Systems or the publisher (I don't actually even know who is publishing it, but I dont have connections with any publishers). Perhaps instead of spending 23 hours a day sifting through the recent changes looking for articles to delete you could try to improve them instead? --Praetonia (talk) 20:04, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response to edit comment: there is already a reference that demonstrates notability. Praetonia (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One reference does not prove notability, read WP:GNG Darkness Shines (talk) 20:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article makes no mention of a minimum number of sources. If I have missed this please quote the passage and I will try to find more references until this minimum is met. Praetonia (talk) 20:41, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material Do you see the "S" at the end of the word "sources"? That would mean more than one or two. You need "Significant coverage" not just a mention. Reviews on gameplay, content, graphics, the lot. You moaned above that I had tagged this for deletion, I am giving you the chance to prove me wrong. You want this article, I am not bothered if it goes, your choice.

The use of the plural form would require at most two sources, not "more than... two". My interpretation was not so strictly literal, but rather than argue further I will simply add a second source.

The other criteria are all met already: the article was extensive and exclusively concerned the topic of the article, in a major publication of those relevant to the subject. It was not "just a mention".

Finally I think your attitude is very poor. There is no need to be rude and aggressive, and you are in no position to "give me chances" when you are just a regular user like me. Your approval or not of my actions - provided they are in keeping with WP policy, which I believe they are - is completely irrelevant. Praetonia (talk) 14:43, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I invite Darkness Shines to cease trolling this page. Your edits are not in good faith. 174.0.53.34 (talk) 23:50, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
