Oppose - I felt like it was an
WP:UNDUE issue when I created it to put at PM, and felt a separate article was appropriate considering it's virtually entire dev info about Sister Sonic, and not redundant gameplay regurgitation like most similar splits of alternate versions of games articles.

I think the article can be worked into PM/Development. I don't think it is too undue considering it is the history behind Popful Mail's only English release. But you bring valid concerns. I am going to ping WP:VG for more opinions.

Weak support. I was actually pondering the possibilities of bringing this up to GA-status but I looked and the sourcing's limited. There's virtually no online sources I know of, and there are only a few print ones as well.

I suggest doing the content merge first (if the info should be in the article anyway) and then we can discuss whether to redirect (not
watching, please {{ping}}) czar23:50, 1 November 2017 (UTC)reply
@
Czar: OK I have performed the content merge. It's all in the first paragraph at
Popful_Mail#Localization. What does everyone think? I also have some development info for PM in a book I can add to make the development less lopsided if that's a concern. --

I don't think it's an improvement from the stand-alone article, but if there ends up being consensus for merging, at least this faithfully covers it. As Czar mentions below, perhaps if some old sources are dug up, or if a website does some sort of big blow-out, expose on it, it could be expanded and split back out in the future someday.

I agree that if we get a new trove of information one day, I'm all for re-instating the page. I'll leave the request open for a couple more days to give a chance for other folks to respond, then I'll redirect seeing as we have a 3-1 vote in favor of merging.

Support. If someone were to find enough sources to expand this into a full-blown article, there wouldn't be much of a contest, but in this case, all useful material pertaining to this canceled release has been faithfully covered in its parent article. czar20:09, 2 November 2017 (UTC)reply
