MergeComment - Deletion doesn't really make sense to me.
USGamer does a pretty detailed article on it, but most sources are on the briefer side, like
Game Informer and
IGN. I'm leaning towards redirecting for now, since the article has almost zero content, but spinning out to its own article as soon as an actual article is actually written. If its not notable yet, it certainly will be once the reviews start coming in.

Updated stance. Merge now, since there's very little content present, but feel free to break out again once there's more indepth previews like the USGamer one.

Weak keep. It's got a publisher and is a sequel to an existing release, which but the article is sub-stub quality. It might be premature, but I see no reason to delete it just to recreate the article when it releases.

At most this needs to be redirected to the sequel section of the article for the original game.--

See
Notability (video games) for my reasoning. If the original gets a full article, the sequel generally should too.

Misread that, I initially thought they were suggesting that the info from from this article should be put in the first game's article not that the existence of that article meant that this should have one automatically.--

Merge to
Azure_Striker_Gunvolt#Sequel. This is an open and shut case. If we don't have a preponderance of sources, and we have an obvious section to hold the content, it should incubate there. I haven't seen that vg "notability" essay in years—I wouldn't cite it for anything. Does this have
significant coverage in multiple
reliable,
independent sources (
?) —not significantly, so merge it. czar 05:04, 25 July 2016 (UTC)reply
I think its a little closer call than that. The USGamer source is pretty in-depth, and there's a number of sources out there that do dedicate an entire article to the subject, though they are rather short. Honestly, if someone hadn't done such a half-assed job writing this, I doubt we'd be here discussing at all - there's probably enough to write a decent start-class article, if someone actually tried. I agree with your "merge" as long as its in its shoddy state, but I'd also support splitting it back out pretty much as soon as someone actually writes an article about it...

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 05:47, 27 July 2016 (UTC)reply
Merge for now. There does not appear to be enough to justify a separate article at this point. This can be easily split back after its release when we have a developed critical reception section.--
