Keep - Enough coverage to establish notability. RPS review: [1], RPS article: [2], 148 Apps review: [3], Washington Post review: [4], Pocket Gamer review: [5], Pocket Gamer article: [6], Business Insider article: [7], brief but relevant mentions on Venture Beat [8], and Kotaku: [9]. --The1337gamer (talk) 09:30, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as notability isn't an issue here. A quick google search will find lots of resources. Ana r chyte 06:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The game is free; it's a basic program where you just go back every so often and expand your company. It may be simple, but there is nothing that would suggest the game is a fraud of some sort. Players start with lemonade stands and buy more, increasing their profits to buy another business.

As the game progresses, buying more franchises costs more money, managers are available for hire to automatically increase profits outside of gameplay, and "angel investors" are used as an incentive to restart the game, and they can increase profits of individual businesses (lemonade stands, donut shops, etc.) by percentages.

Comment - Very poor arguments here for keeping, almost WP:ILIKEIT. A lot of the sources are WP:ROUTINE and do not cover the game in depth. JMHamo (talk) 12:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I already listed enough sources to establish notability regardless of the other poor arguments. WP:ROUTINE doesn't even apply here, it's not an event. Four reviews from reliable sources is satisfactory coverage for video game article. --The1337gamer (talk) 12:20, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@JMHamo There's not much to cover in-depth. I suggest you play the game yoirself and see what I'm saying.
