Fails WP:GNG. VirtualR.net is a Wordpress blog. DSOGaming is an unreliable source per WP:VG/S. FormulaPassion.it and Road & Track refs are both fairly insubstantial news stories. Redirect to Kunos Simulazioni? Mika1h (talk) 15:08, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator - Found reviews by Level (magazine): [1], The Games Machine (Italy): [2], Giochi per il mio computer: [3]. I added them to the article. --Mika1h (talk) 10:30, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Italy. Mika1h (talk) 15:08, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. BuffaloTaro (talk) 00:48, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – It doesn't seem to have ever been the subject of much coverage or interest. There is little discussion of the game on the developer's article but at least it would serve to confirm the basic details (i.e. release year, platform, developer). 5225_C (talk • contributions) 02:27, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Why still vote redirect? I found 3 reviews, all are significant coverage. --Mika1h (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  That by itself doesn’t mean this warrants a dedicated article. Tvx1 20:13, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  I already expanded the article with additional sourcing, I don't think it warrants a merge now, let alone just a redirect. --Mika1h (talk) 20:28, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  You can't withdraw a nomination that other people have started !voting on unless all the !votes were for keep. That's not the case here, where everyone except you (oddly enough) supports deletion or redirection. My !vote is unchanged. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 06:56, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  
  Can you explain why 3 sizable print reviews are not enough for notability? --Mika1h (talk) 08:10, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  I don't place much weight on reviews of any media when considering notability because they are typically WP:ROUTINE in nature. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 11:43, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  That reasoning runs afoul of WP:NGAME: "A video game is appropriate for an article if it has been the subject of significant commentary or analysis in published sources that are independent of the game developer." There exists non-significant reviews out there, though (capsule reviews), as well as unreliable ones (blogs). Geschichte (talk) 09:09, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  It would run afoul of NGAME if I was obliged to follow that particular essay's interpretation of notability guidelines. Which I am not. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 23:15, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The reception section can also be expanded from the available sources. Geschichte (talk) 08:02, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Keep or redirect? Nominator withdrew but other editors apparently disagree with their withdrawal.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:11, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the WP:GNG-qualifying coverage found by the nominator. No aspect of WP:ROUTINE applies to this coverage, which is manifestly in-depth and specific to the topic. Either way, WP:ROUTINE only applies to events, WP:NOTNEWS#2 discusses "routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities", but provides no basis on which to dismiss reviews consisting of detailed critical analysis, which are not "routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities".Katzrockso (talk) 01:23, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
