Keep I've added several sources (there were none before). Notable as one of a handful of exclusives for the Neo Geo CD. TarkusAB^talk 07:45, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TheJoebro64, I've searched Google books and Google but couldn't find anything relevant --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 19:56, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tyw7: You should try Googling the Japanese title next time. You don't need to be able to read Japanese to see that there appear to be quite a few GBooks hits for the Japanese title.[1] GBooks doesn't tend to give previews of Japanese books like English ones (?), but it appears that Yu Suzuki gave it at least a mention in a book about game philosophy and aesthetics. Granted not having read the book myself this is not an argument to keep, but when you say you've searched GBooks you you appear to be indicating you didn't even try searching for the title in its native language.

Hijiri88, noted. Yeah, I searched for the English title and that brought up little results. It brought up more results for Ironclad ships than the game. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 08:20, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I plan to save various articles from being deleted here, including this one. I do know about more sources talking about Ironclad but they are very hard to come by. Once i'm done with Zero-5 (i haven't finished it due to a unfortunate event that left me without internet to make full-fledged edits on my PC), i'll come back to improve this article!

Keep This article has tonal problems but it seems to be "reliable" enough by English Wikipedia video game article standards, and is fairly in-depth. As an aside, Tyw7, you really have to be more careful: May not meet notability guidelines? You are just giving ammo to disruptive keepist editors with nominations like this one. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 08:04, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hijiri88, well to me it does not meet guidelines as I can't find any references on the web. But I'm not ruling out there might be offline third-party references that appear when the nomination is made --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 08:14, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
