Please do not add a “notability” template without discussion.
Since a notability template found itself on this article yet again, I need to point out that, at this point, C-evo passes the WP:THREE test for notability:
- Sánchez-Pelegrín, Rubén; Díaz-Agudo, Belén (2005), "An Intelligent Decision Module based on CBR for C-evo", Proceedings of the 2005 IJCAI Workshop on Reasoning, Representation, and Learning in Computer Games, Edinburgh, Scotland, pp. 90–94, retrieved 2021-05-10
- Sánchez-Pelegrín, Rubén; Gómez-Martín, Marco Antonio; Díaz-Agudo, Belén (2005), A CBR Module for a Strategy Videogame, pp. 217–226, retrieved 2021-05-10
- Oliver Clare (2007-01-29). "Priceless Victories". Eurogamer. Retrieved 2015-06-16. (There has been some discussion about how substantial this 189 word mention is. It’s not a full article, but it’s, for the purposes of establishing notability, significant coverage, enough for C-evo to cross the “three references” finish line).
A couple of other references to further cement notability:
- Marchelletta, Courtney. "Free Game: "C-evo" (PC)". about.com. Archived from the original on 2012-07-18. Retrieved 2015-06-16. (it’s an archived now-dead link, but WP:NTEMP applies here)
- Courtney Marchelletta. "Best Free Sim Games You Can Download". Archived from the original on 2021-05-10.
(Depending on how we count, this is either one or two references. Anyway, since three other references have been listed, whether this particular reference establishes notability is a moot point, since notability has already been established.)
One reference which used to be in the article:
- Civilizations: Webster’s Quotations, Facts and Phrases. ICON Group International, Inc. 2008. p. 256. ISBN 0546662633. (This book can not be viewed in Google Books, so I have no idea if this is a passing mention or a significant mention)
Some other stuff not in the article; these, again, further the notability already established in the three references above.

There’s also a two to three paragraph discussion of C-evo (and FreeCiv) in a masters level thesis where the thesis writer explained why they didn’t use C-evo for their thesis, despite the fact it has been used by other researchers. I’m not 100% sure a thesis can be used to establish notability, though.
That in mind, C-evo clearly passes Wiki’s notability requirements. Please do not add the “notability” template again without discussing it here first. Samboy (talk) 08:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
