The result was speedy keep. Per speedy keep rationale: "The nomination is so erroneous that it indicates the nominator has not even read the article in question." Article is already sufficiently sourced and was demonstrated to have even more sources. (non-admin closure) ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:02, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

unreleased software. CelenaSkaggs (talk) 21:25, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Draftify (or Userfy) until release and substantially reviewed enough to meet notability requirements. Softlavender (talk) 21:31, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Terrible failure of before. This game has received a ton of reliable source coverage, especially recently, since a widely publicized demo was released just yesterday. Sergecross73 msg me 21:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) Keep speedily (or at worst, restore redirect to List of Nintendo Switch games). It's worth attempting to engage the page history and/or talk page before coming to AfD. This topic is a useful search term. The sourcing in a video game reliable sources custom Google search is enough to support a small article. If the article's current referencing issues are insurmountable, restoration of the redirect would suffice, but I don't see how outright deletion would be warranted, nevertheless any policy-based deletion rationale from the nom.

- Speedy keep: Definitely meets the notability guideline. Nominator's rationale for deletion is bizarre. AdrianGamer (talk) 10:02, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Widespread coverage from reliable video game sources. Web source search returns over 300,000 results. With the demo releasing yesterday, we now have some in depth previews as well: [1]. There's enough coverage from sources to expand the gameplay and development sections into a satisfactory pre-release article. --The1337gamer (talk) 16:21, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
