Notability

Hi, user:Spinningspark, do you think this is notable or can you suggest an ATD? Thanks for your help, Boleyn (talk) 07:33, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think this is unlikely ever to work as a standalone page, but the claim it is the video game with the longest minimum completion time is an interesting factoid worth preserving. I would favour merge and redirect so the title remains on Wikipedia. The obvious target is Interactive fiction but it may be WP:UNDUE there. An alternative is Only You Can Save Mankind where it is already mentioned.
By the way, that claim needs to be treated with caution, it is unsourced and games exist, such as Elite, which have no completion time at all. It would be better to just say it has a 3000 year completion and leave it at that. SpinningSpark 10:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
It would indeed be an interesting factoid worth preserving ... were it true. Being unsourced, there's nothing TO preserve. We are enjoined, on Wikipedia, not to blithely presume. Ravenswing 08:28, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
