[edit] Sonic: The Fated Hour

No notability asserted after a week's worth of time. Fails compared to other Sonic fan games. "Fated Hour" only gets 77 Ghits [1] compared to "Time Attack" (629 hits) [2] and "Robot Blast 2" (38,000 hits) [3] Hbdragon88 20:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, come on! Not another moderator and this "assertions of notability" stuff! What does an "assertion of notability" mean, anyway?!? I gave you Ryan's e-mail address, what more do you want?!? *sigh* Alright, here's a link to the article's talk page, you can look at my arguments there. Namely, the following two paragraphs, taken directly from the talk page. --Luigifan 21:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

What?!? It's been proposed for deletion again!?!?!???!!?!!! AUGGHHH!!!! Alright, first, the reason that this page hasn't been hit much is because... it was only created about a week ago! Second, the game hasn't recieved many hits because it hasn't been completed yet. I only mentioned that about 5 or so times in the article and its talk page combined, along with the fact that it won't be complete for a very long time. Third, I already stated that I don't have very much information! Really, I can't provide anything else for now! As soon as Blaze's site updates, I should be able to provide more!

So, please, give me a break already! Do I really have to go here every day to protect this page from deletion?!? I can't handle this! Can't anybody give me a hand? I mean, if Blaze himself shows up, that's great, but otherwise I'm going to need all the help I can get! --Luigifan 21:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Definitely not notable (except for the fact that it was supposed to be released in 2000, and they're still working on it...) --Ogdred 21:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If you've got nothing for sources besides the creator's website, it just ain't notable. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete I am very disappointed that this wasn't deleted earlier. Fan-created games shouldn't be on Wikipedia. Danny Lilithborne 00:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• delete There's nothing wrong with articles about fan games that gain notoriety, but unreleased and incomplete fan games almost never deserve articles because it is nearly impossible for them to become notable before existing. This appears to be an example. — brighterorange (talk) 02:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - NN unfinished fan game. Wish you guys luck, but verifiability is not satisfied by your own predictions about how notable this game will be when it's finished. My Alt Account 03:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Userfy Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. Move to User:LuigiFan/Sonic: The Fated Hour to discourage article recreation in the article namespace until after release, and so that Luigifan can work on it in the mean time. I'd normally say delete outright, but the poor guy hasn't made many edits. --DavidHOzAu 10:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• You're so kind, David. Seconding the Userfy. --Rankler 15:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete / against userfyWikipedia is not a crystal ball, however, Wikipedia is generally not the place for dojin or vanity games. (Or vanity press books, etc...) Fan games, also known as doujin games, tend to violate the Wikipedia rules for verifiability as there are often no independent sources for information. --Kunzite 23:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete/Userfy - Wait until it gets notable. I'm actually not sure how notable MarioWeen is but whatever. I guess I'm trying not to bite. Axem Titanium 01:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. NN fan game, as I see it. +Fin- 16:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• keep/userfy. I think I heard about it somewhere,that makes it notable. +Hellionzod- 16:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • If it's not even released, it in no way is notable. Fan-made gamess have dubious notability in the first place, but if it's unreleased it has zero chance of surviving Wikipedia. Hbdragon88 20:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
