The result was merge to Jukka Tapanimäki. I'm using a bit of discretion to close this old AfD; interpreting the keep vote as a potential for merge (since this is Jukka's most famous work). Deletion arguments also point out that coverage exists but seems insufficient for a full-fledged article. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:44, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find significant coverage of this game in reliable sources. The review I found in ACE magazine is one of the tiny budget box reviews which usually don't constitute significant coverage. Delete per WP:GNG. Odie5533 (talk) 23:28, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find anything in Google and unless somebody has print magazines from the relevant time then we're probably at a dead end.BennyHillbilly (talk) 09:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. One of Jukka Tapanimäki's most famous works (but not the very most famous), and one of the few Finnish Commodore 64 games to be commercially released and gain fame even outside Finland. With a little googling, I found a mention that it was favourably reviewed in Zzap!64 as well. Unfortunately, I don't have the actual magazine issue where it was reviewed.

Based on the ACE review, the Zzap might well be a mini-review that's just a small box of content. These don't usually count as significant coverage. I can't see keeping an article with only one trivial article and some unknown coverage in a magazine. --Odie5533 (talk) 22:56, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge - to software's author, Jukka Tapanimäki. Sourcing is limited but exists, so notability independent of the programmer is not established, but this would fit well as a subsection of that article.Dialectric (talk) 07:42, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge is possible but is Jukka Tapanimäki himself notable? Currently his article is only sourced to an essay he wrote himself. But I don't read Finnish. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
