The article was recently delisted of its GA status but I have doubts about its notability. Nearly half of its sources are dialogue from the game, one is a press release, another is an abandonware website, two are interviews, and the Gameplanet link is dead. The lack of any real secondary sources for the article has me believing the article should be deleted. GamerPro64 19:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment : I really don't like the way the article implies that this was an official release in the Halflife franchise. (Even listing Valve as "Publisher" in the infobox instead of "distributor".). Sure, back then non-valve games didn't appear on Steam much, but it wasn't a "serious" release. They just thought it was funny. Unfortunately, that relationship with Valve seems to be the game's only notability.

- "seriousity" is not correlated with notability. Looking at
reliable sources search, I find quite some reception. Keep.

- For convince could you link to some of the sources that have covered this topic especially since the nonimator mentioned a lack of secondary sources.-- 64.229.167.158 ( talk) 22:54, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

- What about that search is supposed to inspire confidence in it meeting the GNG? The fact that it has zero professional professional (or user) reviews on Metacritic? Or the fact that major video game websites like IGN have zero articles on the subject, only a short database entry that isn't significant coverage. Sergecross73 msg me 00:30, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - per my above commentary. Zero sources from the most likely areas to find it. Just about everything in article is first party - citing the game, interviews, and press releases. Sergecross73 msg me 00:30, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - as with Sergecross73 - article makes no independently sourced claim to notability, lacking WP:RS. DrStrauss talk 11:42, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
