Only references are a couple of reviews from a single publication, one of which is very, very tiny. Archive.org search also comes up with nothing. If there are additional reviews please let us know and I will gladly withdraw the AfD, but as it is, this is a very clear fail of WP:GNG and such a prolific article creator should know better? ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:31, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per norm. --Vaco98 (talk) 12:07, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment found these two sources from the Human Media(the developer) website [1]], [2]. Timur9008 (talk) 15:19 ,26 June 2022 (UTC)

Sources from a developer don't count towards notability, as they are WP:PRIMARY. Not that those really have much beyond a description of what the game is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:14, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Macintosh games for now until more sources can be found. BOZ (talk) 12:35, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but you're the article creator. Why did you publish the article in the first place? Sergecross73 msg me 17:52, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That also assumes that lists should include non-notable games. I think that most people would agree that games appearing on any (non-developer-specific) list in Wikipedia should either be bluelinked or redlinked (having article potential)? Otherwise the criteria for inclusion would be tremendously broad. Redirecting a non-notable game to a list is literally useless for readers, they may as well head to Mobygames. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:11, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Additionally no hits in major databases: ProQuest, ebscoHOST, the Wikipedia Library federated search, or newspapers.com. List of Macintosh games is already lengthy enough that it doesn't need to list titles that are not yet independently notable. There are no other worthwhile redirect targets. czar 02:48, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. A couple of capsule reviews are the only independent refs, and it does not indicate GNG. VickKiang (talk) 07:57, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
