The article seems to lack significant coverage to be notable enough to have an article, as per WP:GNG and WP:PLOT. The creator of this article made the couple of sentences and moved on. Le Panini ^Talk 00:57, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This was trivially easy to find additional sources for - just look at the source provided in the article and find other reliable sources that also reviewed the game using the details it provides. Please do WP:BEFORE properly in future. Especially, nearly every game released before the shareware era began (i.e., early 1990's) was likely reviewed by multiple magazines so there are nearly always sources for them. EDIT: and once a bit of research had been done on this game it turned out to be pretty notable given the people involved in making it. FOARP (talk) 20:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As this appears that this article will remain can someone move Hoops (video game) to Hoops (1988 video game)?--65.92.160.124 (talk) 18:59, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Le Panini, sorry if I was a bit harsh above. I'll close this one as withdrawn if that's OK. FOARP (talk) 08:45, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
