Draft: Minetest
Hi! I saw this draft while I was doing some review, but I couldn't make up my mind on it. I did see one decent source there , and I added another one (Linux Magazine and Linux Format). But I wasn't able to find more beyond that, although it is mentioned a lot in scholar works. However, it could technically squeak through WP:GNG, although I'd have it maybe merged with Minecraft article somehow, rather than a separate article. Saying nothing changed since 2012's AfD (and both sources are in 2017, 5 years later) is too much though. Regards, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:05, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Jovanmilic97: I more meant that nothing had changed with regards to the article itself. Which is why I did not outright reject it for non-notability, as it still had potential. I would be happy to approve it once the unreliable sources are removed and the reliable ones added.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:11, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, it seems like a marginal case. I'll do some Google Scholar check to see if any of the works there mention it in WP:SIGCOV. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 21:09, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Resubmition of Draft:Death and Taxes (video game)
Hello! Just sending you a quick message to let you know that I've overhauled the draft page for Death and Taxes. You declined it in its previous state 7 months ago. Although I'm not the original creator of the page, I figured I'd notify you since it's been so long. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon (talk) 00:26, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- @OmegaFallon: Hi. I still think the game would fail WP:GNG as it is currently. Not all sources are equal, and the article uses a number of unreliable sources that should be outright removed. See WP:VG/S. However, the Switch release might result in a crop of new reviews, so you should probably wait until after that.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Which sources, exactly? The ones I've chosen seem to mostly be from well-known publications. Are you referring to Big Boss Battle and Keen Gamer? On a second look I'd agree that maybe those aren't suitable, but the rest seem fine. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon (talk) 15:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- @OmegaFallon:Forbes source is written by a "contributor". Consensus is: "Articles written by Forbes contributors do not have the same editorial oversight and may not be reliable. Editors are encouraged to find alternatives to contributor pieces.". PC Gamer is reliable, but the source isn't a full review and is just a trivial mention. Indie Games Plus - another trivial mention. AltWire - an interview, therefore a WP:PRIMARY source that doesn't count towards notability. Explica - no proof that it is a reliable source. Pallas University is also a WP:PRIMARY source. Ultimately, the only truly significant and reliable reference is the Rock, Paper Shotgun one written by Alice Bell, but an article requires multiple instances of significant coverage to be notable.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- @OmegaFallon: It looks like the page got accepted by someone else anyway. But if the Switch version of the game does not result in better sources, I wouldn't be surprised if the page was AfD'd sometime down the line.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 07:41, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Video game franchises introduced in 2018
A tag has been placed on Category:Video game franchises introduced in 2018 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Liz 17:32, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/GPD Win Max
Hi @Zxcvbnm: I see you closed that Afd outside consensus and against policy. You perhaps don't know but if you vote in some discussion, you don't close it, ever. Any discussion, Afd, RFC. You let some other person do it, to ensure it is done fairly and there is no conflict of interest. Please, do not do it again. Also there wasn't a nomination to close per WP:AFD guidelines, there was a question. Unless there is a Nomination Withdrawn message, it is never closed unless done by administrator and there is agreement to close it. Please dont do it again. scope_creep 07:58, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- You have done 1500 Afd's and still not following policy. I'm surprised. Please be more careful next time. scope_creep 08:00, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
