Draft:Gunner, Heat, PC!

  • Comment: Hey - I can explain in a little more detail why I think this still falls short of the standard, but don't want to overwhelm with random links to WP:VG/S, WP:RS and WP:N. The rub of it is that if we were to pick the three best sources the article is still not solid in terms of the yardsticks we use for notability:
    * PC Gamer is a reliable source per WP:VG/S but provides no independently held views about the game. It's an update that seems to be relaying information from the development team.
    * PC Invasion does provide significant coverage and review comments about the game but nobody has quite agreed on its notability, with an [earlier view that it is not a reliable source].
    * Stopgame is a review but it's pretty obvious it's a user-generated source and not reliable. It's someone random writing on a review blogging platform.
    This just seems to be something that reliable outlets haven't really reviewed yet. Games with significant coverage without reviews - such as early access games - could be notable but there would need to be significant coverage from reliable secondary sources about it, which there doesn't seem to be from the article.

  • Comment: Not seeing the article pass GNG. Furthermore please read WP:USERG and remove any sources which may violate this. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 14:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Unfortunately lacks notability under WP:GNG due to having no review sources and little significant coverage from reliable sources. The PC Gamer article seems to be the only independently reliable recognised source under WP:VG/S. I'd recommend seeing if there's any reviews of this game and creating a review section as per WP:VG/MOS and go from there. Happy to chat if you need any help or questions.
