It must be notable changes are not used. Since created of months will be Redirect to Rovio Entertainment pages without deletion anyways for the release date is too long.

  • Delete Eh? Whatever the nomination is trying to say, a Flappy Bird clone shouldn't be the main topic for a mainstream word like this without more sources and less crystal. Andrew (talk) 11:55, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Note, this nomination is from a non-native speaker. The article has notable sources, there are over 10 from reliable ones and the game is still in limited release.Frmorrison (talk) 12:18, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Selfie slam only had 2 reliable sources and each only had a sentence about the game. Retry has many more and go in depth about the game.Frmorrison (talk) 14:35, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Frmorrison, I only see 3 references - one to "Pocketgamer", one to "angybirdsnest.com", one to "o.canada.com", not 10, but you're correct that they do cover the game in some depth. As a general comment, the nominator has been blocked as a sock, and this was almost certainly a "pointy" nomination in response to the "Selfie Slam" article AFD - but maybe the sourcing could use a little improvement, nevertheless. "Gameplay" is an unreferenced section. I wouldn't vote to delete, though. Begoon talk 16:39, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Forbes Tech Softonic NL (I don't know this language but it mentions the game so please help check whether RS). More is easily expected to come when the global release (date) is confirmed, which warrants at least a no-prejudice-to-recreation then. 野狼院ひさし Hisashi Yarouin 14:56, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As for the Softonic link, I'm believe it's a "no", the reason being that Softonic is a download site, and they've included a download link to the game (hosted by them) at the end of their article. BTW, I haven't had the greatest of experiences with the site's downloads either, they sometimes contain adware/spyware and others have reported malware as well.

  • Keep, the game has gathered quite a fair amount of coverage, with sources such as Technology Tell, PC Mag, Gamezebo, BGR, Android Authority, Pocket Gamer and VG24/7. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 09:22, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
