Greetings,

I have uploaded the next draft of the 177 article. I added information directly from the game's manual, as well as a few other Japanese sources as per your suggestion. Let me know if you think it is ready for publishing.

I have been trying to remember the name of this game for close to ten years but until today the Internet had failed me. Found it almost immediately with "90s australian cyberpunk PC game" thanks to you. Cheers!

You're welcome! But for a decent review in PC PowerPlay at the National Library, I never would have come across it either! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 22:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi!

You've left a comment on my draft of Buckshot Roulette stating that a 3rd secondary source with significant coverage is needed (alongside Polygon and Rock, Paper, Shotgun) for notability. I was wondering why the mxdwn Games (reference 1), BNN Breaking (ref 4), and GameTyrant (ref 5) don't qualify as such? I've also added two others (Windows Central and Playstation Universe), could you let me know if these are sufficient? Sorry for the hassle, this is my first article.

Thank you! Cloud 223 (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

No worries, I can explain. The threshold for making an article is determined by notability. Notability is defined by the general notability guidelines, which generally requires significant coverage from reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. There's no formal standard, but it's generally accepted that WP:THREE reliable sources of significant coverage establishes notability. For articles about video games, there are an accepted list of sources in WP:VG/S that can help define what is reliable. Things outside of this list are not necessarily reliable or unreliable but merit greater caution. It's common practice for pages on video games to demonstrate notability through reviews, as these sources will have independent views on the game and go beyond simply restating the information provided by the developer.

On notability at the current point, I think the Windows Central article provides additional assessment of the game that gets it across the line. If you were looking for where to take this article next, check out the WP:MOS and video games articles listed as good articles. The first thing that stands out is that the article lacks information about the content of reviews, so the 'reception' section isn't quite doing what it should be. The it's gritty and industrial visuals are in contrast with the latter's mythical tone is not quite WP:NPOV and I'd probably move that to what the source actually said about it. But otherwise great work so far.

If this is your first article, congrats! If it's resubmitted to AfC I'll pass it through now. If it's not I'll wait until you do it. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 00:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you!

I tried rephrasing the sentence about the visuals for a more neutral POV, and I included that multiple sources praised the item system in the game in the reception section, alongside the ratings and spread of the game. Should I resubmit now or does it need more work? Cloud 223 (talk) 01:02, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Yep - it's good for a resubmission! AfC isn't a vehicle for me to micromanage the article - so long as it demonstrates notability it's good. Thanks for making the edits. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 01:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Lovely, thanks again! Cloud 223 (talk) 01:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@Vrxces: Hey! I'm planning on making an article on all Lego Ninjago games, probably like one or two paragraph each game, ranging from 2011 to 2020. It will be excluding all web games, only mobile/pc/console games. Now, I need help to decide what the title of the article would be, and whether you think the idea is notable. If yes, could you give me a link to a similar article? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out! I think a Lego Ninjago (video game series) article would be the appropriate title. Given there's a Lego Ninjago article with a video game subsection already, the notability of the article really depends on two things: (1) whether there's significant coverage of the series as a whole (i.e. not just about the individual works); and (2) whether there's so many games or details about the series that covering it under the Lego Ninjago page would be inappropriate. It is a bit unusual because there's three levels of categorisation: it's a video game series based on a broader series of a product. I'm sure the individual games are notable though and you should definitely go ahead and make them! Let me know if you need help finding sources for the Ninjago games. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for responding! I have already started on the article, and I plan on finishing it in a few days. Also, I have noticed not many articles on Wikipedia are being reviewed lately. I published two articles probably less than two weeks ago. One is on a 3D digital replica of Singapore and the on a voice actress who voices a character in the Ninjago TV Series and neither of them have been reviewed along with more than a thousand articles. What are your thoughts on the situation and do you have an idea why this is happening? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 13:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

If you're submitting an article through AFC, someone has to review it and approve it. Unfortunately the Video Games WikiProject is probably one of the more active and vibrant ones out there. For instance, I browse AFC candidates that are just about video games. So I'd guess there just aren't that many people in that topic area, which seems to be the case for WikiProject Toys. For instance, a toy I wrote an article for, Cube World, still doesn't have an article class!

A workaround may be to just directly create the article. I'd caution this unless you're really confident about the notability of the articles you're writing, but it is one way of getting it out there and dealing with the admin later. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 20:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

I had heard about something like this, When I created the article Dollar Dash, on my talk page, the message also said that I could just create an article, and not have to submit it to AfC. Could you tell me how to do that? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 04:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Sure! Check out WP:HTCAP. Again, I'd only go straight to this if you're very confident of the subject matter's notability. I had a lot of retroactive deletions from pages I made all at once because I was pumping out obscure indie game articles a year or so ago and nobody noticed until much later. Probably explains why I'm a bit overly cautious! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for replying so fast, I tried it on the 3D digital replica of Singapore, and it seems to look pretty good on my side, its called Virtual Singapore. I'll try doing the other one later. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

The article Stef Pinto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Creator PROD on the basis of notability concerns; not inherited by the individual games. My attitudes to notability were probably a bit more relaxed a year ago.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hey again! I'm probably like 1/3 of the way done on the Lego Ninjago (video game series) article, but I had a question, what should other games which have Lego Ninjago in it come under? For example, Lego Dimensions has Lego Ninjago in it as one if its franchises. Same goes with Lego Brawls, Lego Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Lego Universe, and so many more. So what would they come under? Like what would be the appropriate heading to put them under? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 14:48, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

The difference with those is that they feature the appearance of Ninjago in Lego series games, whereas the focus of the article is on the specific Ninjago series. So it probably merits a sentence in the body of text, but the lead article will already cover the appearance of Ninjago in other media, if that makes sense.

	Hey @Vrxces! Thank you for working tirelessly on Wikipedia to benefit readers! Also for helping me with my articles. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 16:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Anytime! Always happy to answer questions on my talk page! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 23:21, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Some random IP submitted my article, just want to know if you can turn that submit box gray again. Toketaa^talk 13:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, it doesn't look submitted to me as I can't review it, even though I agree the IP looks like they submitted it in the log. If you are able to get the article to a standard of notability, you can click the 'resubmit' article on the template. Not to discourage you but please be aware the article had a deletion discussion previously, if a few decades ago. Anecdotally, there's also a deletion trend for individual Pokemon on the basis of notability, so it may be an uphill battle here. Happy to help. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey again! I wanted help with this article I improved recently. If you look at the article's talk page, it was rated stub-class and regarded as low importance on WikiProject Video games. Now since I improved it, is it possible for these titles to change? MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 18:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes! All you need to do is add the tag |reassess=y after the class in the template on the talk page. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 20:11, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I don't know where I would be on Wikipedia without your help so far! MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 04:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
