Section 1 is directly copied from the game's website. A majority of the remainder of the article fails WP:Not#Info, as it is minutiae and descriptions of how to play the game. Also, it fails WP:WEB as it has no non-trivial sources. It is my opinion that this article is an non-expandable stub at best. Faladine 01:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep but clean up the article and remove the cruft. Notable video game websites such as Gamespot, Game Rankings, GameStats, IGN and RPG Fan have included the game in their databases [1] [2] [3][4][5]. WP:WEB does not apply, as this is a video game and not a "webcomic, podcast, blog, Internet forum, online magazine and other media, web portal or web host."--TBCΦtalk? 01:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as it seems somewhat notable. Game guide aspects need to be removed or moved off wikipedia, but that is not for AFD. Koweja 02:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep- relatively large article, no harm in keeping. Don't delete for the sake of finding something to delete. --Fred McGarry 02:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Koweja 02:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and due rewrite Clearly notable but no sources.--Sefringle 03:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per TBCΦtalk?. Mathmo ^Talk 03:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as it is a notable computer game. --Carioca 04:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but do a slash-and-kill editing technique to allow the article to grow naturally. Guroadrunner 10:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but chop almost everything after the first paragraph. Might want to tag that revision in the talk in case someone wants to copy it to a gaming wiki. — brighterorange (talk) 13:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I've done a copy-and-paste dump for the game to Encyclopedia Gamia here. Don't know if it helps, but it does preserve the information better. Guroadrunner 20:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and Rewrite - Add some sources and remove or improve sections copied directly from website..--Cometstyles 15:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and rewrite. Info can be added by player, not copied from website. Alex43223 ^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C} 20:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
