Petit Copter (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Unverifiable article per WP:V about a possible upcoming videogame. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Mh29255 (talk) 22:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. WP:V strikes me as questioning whether the two articles from the page are from a "reliable, published source" or not. 12k Google results suggest that the game is coming sometime, and the gameplay seems notable (revolutionary?) enough for an article. alex.muller (talk) 23:26, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unless someone can dig out some sources that I'm not seeing. The only coverage I can see is some screenshots and a few mentions in fan blogs. Bear in mind that this is either a re-release or new version of at least two games that have been released on PS2 and Xbox, hence why searching for Petit Copter floods results. Even if 'Wii' is used in the search, most game pages have links to the different consoles and thus will show up even if they don't mention the Wii version of the game. The only problem here is that the article's been created too soon, until there's actually something to report it's unnecessary. Someone another (talk) 03:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I think the sources that exist verify the current stub-state of the article, and the vast majority if not all Nintendo Wii games are notable. Having a stub in place will allow anons to contribute to the article. User:Krator (t c) 00:17, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - although it's true that most Wii games achieve notability, this is because there are a large number of independent channels that give non-trivial coverage to them. This doesn't seem to have happened yet, so this game fails WP:N and WP:CRYSTAL. It may very well make sense to recreate the article at some point after the game is released and receives the coverage, but I don't think it makes sense to leave the article here until then.

• Keep and expand. It looks like this game (or an earlier one in the series) has already been released for PS2, Xbox and PC. It seems like the game did not receive wide release in the US, but that doesn't put it outside our scope. The article ought to cover the already released game(s) in the series and mention the upcoming Wii release. — brighterorange (talk) 17:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - If a version of the game is already released, then crystal ball doesn't apply here. matt91486 (talk) 00:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as article fails WP:CRYSTAL and there are no reliable secondary sources to provide evidence that its development is notable. --Gavin Collins (talk) 08:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
