Non-notable Video game, written with a promotional tone. I would go for A7, but I am unsure whether it falls under this criteria --Mdann52talk to me! 11:05, 18 December 2013 (UTC):Also nominating the following articles, as the whole series of articles seems to lack sourcing:[reply]

Keep, don't see any reson to delete. Written okay. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 11:11, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I thought the nominator has clearly expressed N and even A7 as deletion reasons. How the pages are written should not be an issue unless we discuss merging/splitting/listifying/etc. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:39, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The pages actually need a lot of work, Nintendofan, but that's besides the point in this discussion. --Soetermans. T / C 11:41, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think this is so much promotional as written by a fan, and one who has very little command of English.TheLongTone (talk) 12:57, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And see the recently created F1 Super Lap, another in the series.TheLongTone (talk) 13:08, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all as not passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. I cannot any find that would satisfy GNG and none are included in articles (all are half-promotional videos) or presented for GNG purposes. Hits in reliable sources are just catalog entries with no commentary and others are mostly fan sites and forums. There are some passing mentions, such as being inspirational for other games, but nothing in-depth. I realize the games are quite old, so there might be defunct and print sources, but I'm not too sure there are. Article quality is irrelevant in determining topic's suitability for GNG. A notable topic can certainly be described from a fan's perspective and we should aim to correct that, but that's not a reason to delete -- failing N is. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 14:39, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Hellknowz. Googling didn't bring up any reliable source on this game. --Soetermans. T / C 11:41, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's something's good and reliable, but I'd never play this game. Although, some of those Wikipedia users that they don't know about this game, it was like having childhood years before and now, it's still investigating about those 3 arcade driving games similarly. But don't delete, as of the update and I'll gonna find pictures on the infobox to those 3 games there. So, I would wait or let them wait for the new announcement. Thank you! --The Game Expert (talk) 04:15, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nostalgia is not something we go by in inclusion criteria. If anything, "those" Wikipedia users have an unbiased view. I'm happy to change my argument to "keep" if you can find WP:GNG-suitable sources for this. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 10:20, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It didn't pass a search engine test or have meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources search. Maybe someone could find more by its Japanese name? There may be print sources since this was more of a 90s game, but I can't find them. (Please ping me if you do, though.) czar ♔ 15:16, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect all to List of Konami games with {{R to list entry}} because redirects are cheap and these are ostensibly search terms, even if the topic isn't notable enough for an entry. czar ♔ 15:27, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
