- Comment Erm, why don't you people go look up the game reviews and add them,
WP:GNG is established by game reviews instead of voting your ballshit delete without doing the research.

- Delete I did find indepth reviews on LiveMint [2] and Gamereactor [3], but I don't find it enough to make this game pass WP:GNG. Pinging CoolSkittle, John M Wolfson, Lee Vilenski and GiantSnowman for opinions. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 12:11, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- Game Reactor is listed as inconclusive at
WP:VG/RS, but I don't feel it's reliable. The complete lack of reviews at metacritic is quite damning. The VG custom search brings up some more
[4], but the only review I've found that isn't a forum post or blog was
[5]. And, to be fair, I'm not happy about pushing notability to an article of two paragraphs, where the name of the game and logo don't match. Best Wishes,

- Lee Vilenski I saw the TouchArcade one and I skipped on it, it says nothing indepth about the game and is not a source that should be included at all. Even if Gamereactor is included, it is still two reviews, and I feel like that is too WP:BARE. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 12:40, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment For a game I am hearing of for the first time, I find it shocking at how the game is popular on Wikipedia [6]. I don't see 1000+ daily views video game article that often. Of course views do not matter towards notability on Wikipedia, but found it interesting. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 12:40, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Game has nearly a 150k iOS
[7] User reviews, so I am sure there is more online if people look for it like these,
[8],
[9],
[10],
[11],
[12],
[13] and there is more around if you bother to look deep enough. Seriously, that took me five whole minutes and I am sure if people spent half an hour on the subject of this game, GNG would easily be considered.

- Wait, you're serious? CoolSkittle ( talk) 15:09, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- None of those are considered reliable sources except for Pocket Gamer, and that source is so short it’s not likely to be considered significant coverage. Sergecross73 msg me 23:12, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
