The result was redirect to Konami#Video games. The "keep" opinions don't make policy-based arguments. Sandstein 10:44, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. No hits in MobyGames database either. A redirect to a Konami list as a search term would be fine. czar 02:11, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

This is a game from a significant company ( Konami) representing one of their earliest games distributed in the United States, so there is historical value. A redirect removes all of the information currently on the page except the name. Dgpop ( talk) 04:18, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome to expand the list at the redirect target to contain some basic information about the game (from reliable sources), but we don't have nearly enough information for a full article about this arcade game as it stands. czar 07:44, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I don't know if it's notable or not (had a bit of difficulty finding sources about it), but I noticed it's a copy of the Space Invaders type of a game. There were many mentions of copycats in the Space Invaders article. However, I looked into the sources of The End if the sources had mentions of the copycattism as well. As it happens, they do, but of Galaxian and Rip-Off (which copied Space Invaders but further refined the style). The former had a very large section for just its copycats: Galaxian#Games featuring elements of Galaxian. I think even a two-sentence paragraph could be added about The End there. -- Mr. Magoo ( talk) 14:13, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- I added a mention of The End there in any case. -- Mr. Magoo ( talk) 14:24, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete at best for now because none of this satisfies the applicable video games notability, nothing else convincing. SwisterTwister talk 07:05, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Keep Video game with historical value. Sander.v.Ginkel ( Talk) 17:17, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to Konami#Video games. Not enough coverage to warrant standalone article. Onel5969 TT me 13:28, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect per
Onel5969,
or maybe even week keep, based on the references in the article, which are marginal, but perhaps enough. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:02, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- On second thought, just go with the redirect. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:03, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
