A draft that was copy and pasted back into mainspace (so, it's been objected to). A PROD would also likely be objected to. A WP:BEFORE brings up another game. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 04:42, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I cannot find any reliable, published sources documenting the existence of this game. The best I can find is a random TV Tropes article (as you probably know, TV Tropes has far less strict policies on "notability" than Wikipedia).

Fails WP:V and WP:N. ApexParagon (talk) 04:48, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sources, no notability. Seems like it has a tiny insular group of fans, and has made no impact outside that group. ApLundell (talk) 05:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI There is an unrelated board game with the same name. ApLundell (talk) 05:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the article was published before too the same day but I moved it to a draft as it had no sources and to give the creator of the article time to establish if it has potential merit, however I haven't seen any other sources confirming its a game notable of having a page and as he re-published it I simply don't see any arguments for keeping this article.

Delete - no indication of meeting the GNG, seemingly created by a WP:SPA. Sergecross73 msg me 14:03, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No indication of meeting WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Save. There are certainly sources that prove existence of this game.

For example official page of the creator, Sushi Yuushi Toro: https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/6414 which is publishing games under the name "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe?" or "Iniminimanimo?" as the google translator suggests.

There are also multiply links to his games and social media.

Twitter: https://x.com/toro_yori_ebi

Pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/2938678

Fantia: https://fantia.jp/fanclubs/22621

And store where you can buy his games:

What else do we need? I'll find it. OMGMLGPROGAMER (talk) 09:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fix: Red Riding Woods instead of Riding Woods. This game may also be known under the name Red Hood's Woods. OMGMLGPROGAMER (talk) 09:49, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OMGMLGPROGAMER It's not so much the existence of the game that's being questioned but whether or not the game has been noted by reliable sourcing (for example, game reviews/articles, etc. that have gone through editorial oversight) I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 10:07, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please take a look at WP:GNG and submit the best THREE sources for us to consider. Some of the ones that you've presented above don't seem reliable, looking at just the domain names (e.g. "blog" in url). -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Very well, I believe these three are the most reliable.

1) Neutral review from StopGame: https://stopgame.ru/game/black_souls

2) Official page of the creator Sushi Yuushi Toro (Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe): https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/6414

3) Store page of the Black Souls: https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ203687.html
