Hello, Vrxces. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Super Mario Bros. Deluxe".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hello, thanks for your input. I've started by editing the Reception section by adding the Metacritic link and 2 more reviews. Also changed the sentence about Steam reviews.

I was wondering if the gameplay section should be less detailed and condensed down to about 3 sentences?

That table list certainly is quite long, but could be useful to some. There is a similar table on the Pinball FX3 page (Pinball FX 3). [as an aside, that page should be called Pinball FX3 rather than Pinball FX 3 - is that something you can tweak?] Should it be a collapsible table rather than one that shows by default?

This was triggered by someone on a discord asking why there wasn't a Pinball FX wikipedia page when all the other notable pinball games have one, and timing happened to be on a day I wasn't doing anything. I've had some assistance from 2 others who also play it. Wilbers (talk) 17:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No stress mate, I know the notability process is a bit inscrutable and can come off as cold to editors trying to help. I think the best thing that can demonstrate the game meets the WP:GNG is finding multiple review sources from those identified as reliable on WP:VG/S. Three of these tend to be a clear, irrefutable case for the game being notable. You may find evidence for these from sites like Metacritic, Mobygames, Google News or the Internet Archive. It's important to note that some reviews included are just blogs or unreliable websites that may not help a case for notability. Can chat about the other stuff too. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 22:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been through that list of reliable sources. Out of those there is a review on pushsquare, an article on gamespot, and a video interview on shacknews, https://www.shacknews.com/article/135662/zen-studios-pinball-fx-video-interview. I've added the first 2 to the draft, but not the interview yet.

There was also a Polygon article explaining what the ticket system was, so I've added a citation to that in a suitable place. Wilbers (talk) 00:31, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! Push Square is a good source. I've also found situational review sources in Softpedia [2] and Gaming Age [3] as well as an inconclusive one in PS Universe [4] so I think this will not be too controversially notable. The other issues with the article are not as major and wouldn't as seriously prevent a draft from getting across the line. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, I've added all of those to it. Is the reception section now acceptable? Wilbers (talk) 09:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article now has enough sourcing to suggest it's a notable game. There's still a lot of cleanup needed to conform the article with the manual of style for video games, particularly excessive detail and non-neutral prose and I'm happy to help edit and cut some things that would likely be removed pre-publication if that would help. Otherwise, can pass and others can fix it later as it's notable at this point. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 21:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great. There certainly is a lot in that manual of style, and I've only properly looked through the first third of it. The non-neutral aspect is one I'd struggle to fix myself, and some of the detail I'm not sure what to keep or not. The long table will need to remain (albeit moved within the article and/or made collapsible if that is how it would typically be presented) as its the only way to fit all those wikilinks in which will be helpful for the pinball WikiProject. Wilbers (talk) 23:52, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, at any rate, can give some pointers but happy to pass the draft. One minor note - as there's already a game called Pinball FX, might prompt a move to Pinball FX (2023 video game). On non-neutrality, can remove a few flagrant things like endorsements of third-party sources etc. Otherwise, feel free to resubmit! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 23:59, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, its had some more edits, with the gameplay section substantially reduced. I've just resubmitted it. Wilbers (talk) 10:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done - it's now Pinball FX (2023 video game). Congrats! I've added some tags to the article for other editors to cleanup, but these aren't issues that should affect the article's publication now that the review content is in there. Thanks for your patience on this one. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 21:08, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've significantly expanded the article at Draft:Go_Home_Annie with new souces and info. If it's ready it would be nice to review it now, as to avoid waiting time. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year. Kiksam (talk) 15:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You too mate. The standard for WP:GNG for games typically requires a few reliable reviews to demonstrate notability, from sources like those in WP:VG/S. Can you find other reliable sources out there? All I can find is SECTOR.sk [5] and Thumb Culture [6] which are both not assessed for reliability. Those probably are a bit borderline for me, but are probably enough to pass draft and not raise any issues. If you're able to find any other reliable WP:NONENG coverage that would be really good.

Hi Vrxces, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Fathoms Below (talk) 21:24, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 10 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Glucoboy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Glucoboy was advertised as the "first medical device to interface with a Nintendo Game Boy"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/GlucoBoy. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Glucoboy), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
