- I have serious doubts about this feature's notability. Sure there are lots of hits online, but I cannot seem to find an independent, reliable source to establish its notability or demonstrate significant coverage.

It might also be worth noting that the article was previously tagged for speedy deletion due to a copyright violation. The user seems to have addressed this matter now, but almost none's left of the page after that, which puts to question if there's really anything encyclopedic to write about the matter. 舎利弗 (talk) 07:43, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- There is not much to write. If you compare the SRCDS article to the HLDS article, they both have little info. Thats why I even made it a stub. So people can find more info and contribute. Sarabveer (talk) 13:04 (1:04 PM), 24 May 2014 (UTC)

- If there is not much to write in the first place, please consider placing your contributions to a related article instead. The fact that there is not much to write is one of the very reasons why it can't have its own article. Regards, 舎利弗 (talk) 13:22, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- I have just edited the article with more info. See for yourself, Srcds. Sarabveer (talk) 13:34 (1:34 PM), 24 May 2014

- Have also stated the SOURCES! Sarabveer (talk) 13:39 (1:39 PM), 24 May 2014

Hi Sarabveer and welcome to Wikipedia. The article WP:42 should provide some background for why pages such as this are unlikely to stick around. Let me know if you have any questions. czar ♔ 18:45, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Source (game engine). Possible (cheap) search term and nothing worth merging right now, but it didn't pass a search engine test or have meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources search and, as such, doesn't have independent notability. Please ping me if more (non-English and offline) sources show in the future. czar ♔ 18:40, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Im going to combine SRCDS, with Source (Game Engine). Sarabveer (talk — Preceding undated comment added 19:36, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
