No significant coverage in reliable sources to show notability. Mainly gaming blogs. CNMall41 ( talk) 00:49, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The game is a significantly played game (over 225 million downloads), more than lots of other video game articles. Will be updating with more sources soon. CanO27sprite ( talk) 01:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply

• Speedy delete Already existed at Draft:Stumble Guys but was rejected twice and ignored, the creator clearly is WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not advertising. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 12:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete all hits are SEO type sites. This isn't for advertising your game. No media coverage. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:28, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete I was the creator of the draft, but it has no purpose now, since it has no significant media coverage. Sarrail ( talk) 16:02, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. 4meter4 ( talk) 20:33, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply

  I am not affiliated or associated with Stumble Guys or Kitka Games in any way. I simply want to publish an article in response to the surge in popularity of this game. This is not my game. CanO27sprite ( talk) 22:45, 7 October 2022 (UTC) reply

  Ignoring legitimate issues with your draft that were clearly stated does not help your case with regards to not looking like a spammer. It is the typical modus operandi of spammers to ignore procedure and push through a clearly non-notable article, as otherwise they would not be making money through Wikipedia's free publicity ( WP:SPAM). If you are here to build an encyclopedia, getting a single specific article rejected shouldn't phase you, as there are plenty of others in need of work or creation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 09:47, 11 October 2022 (UTC) reply

• Comment I found one WP:VGRS review:

• "Stumble Guys, la recensione del furbo clone di Fall Guys". Multiplayer.it (in Italian). Retrieved 2022-10-08.

I guess with that and the VGC/Dot Esports articles you could make a weak case, but its not enough to push me to vote keep. If there was one more review from a VGRS I'd think that would be enough to keep. Jumpytoo Talk 08:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC) reply

https://www.pocketgamer.biz/news/79575/scopely-acquires-stumble-guys-from-kitka-games/ Is also a WP:VGRS review CanO27sprite ( talk) 17:00, 11 October 2022 (UTC) reply

And so is https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-fall-guys-clone-called-stumble-guys-has-topped-the-iphone-game-charts/ CanO27sprite ( talk) 17:09, 11 October 2022 (UTC) reply

The PocketGamer source is NOT a review, it is almost entirely a press release. VGC is routine news (see WP:CORPDEPTH, which notes "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage" as examples of trivial coverage) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 20:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC) reply
