The result was delete. I won't comment on the intention behind Lucia's nom or ChrisGualteri's opposing view (they've been imposed an IBAN since the start of the AfD); I find Gm545's suggestion appropriate (I will userfy upon request) and have faith that if NARH couldn't find sources establishing independent notability, then this at best merits a mention in Phantasy Star's article; I find consensus to delete but I'll use my discretion to recreate and redirect as a valid search term. ☺ ·  Salvidrim! ·  ✉ 04:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC) reply

I've looked and there is simply not enough development or reception information to make this notable. All sources used here are based off in-game screenshots. Lucia Black ( talk) 08:09, 2 January 2014 (UTC) reply

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log ( step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 January 2. — cyberbot I ^Notify_Online 08:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC) reply
• Keep I've cited Famitsu, Gamez, Dengeki and the Japanese Pocketgamer site which hosts a basic guide. There is likely plenty of coverage in period magazines and additional info not yet found. Though I think the greatly improved coverage is a big step in the right direction. I am also working on this article, including prior to its nomination.

You've said things in the past regarding having such sources, and you've never provided when it came to prove what you've stated. Lucia Black ( talk) 08:40, 2 January 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete. The description in Phantasy Star is sufficient. Most of the references just mention it in passing. If you want to work on it, I'd suggest a move to userspace or WP:Incubate until it's ready for prime-time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gm545 ( talk • contribs) 11:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete. I personally sought sources for all three of these Phantasy Star articles and have found nothing to use. Not to brag, but I am fairly decent at sourcing rather obscure subjects. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 20:14, 2 January 2014 (UTC) reply
