TTDPatch

Does not appear to pass our notability guidelines (WP:N); no independent, reliable references (WP:V). PROD with these concerns was removed in September by User:Maximr without comment and without addressing these issues. Marasmusine (talk) 13:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I actually restored it as a contested prod. See the deletion log, this is simply an alternate account. butterfly (talk) 18:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect. This is a mod of a the game Transport Tycoon. Mods generally have a hard time meeting WP:N, but the info is generally verifiable (I haven't checked this particular mod), so it's okay to mention it in a section for the original game. VG ☎ 14:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: previously PRODed, and then restored without addressing the issues. Complete lack of reliable third-party sources, thus failing our content guidelines and policies. Randomran (talk) 02:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Google hit count is >30,000 (the name as search term is rather distinctive here, see also WP:SET), and those hits also turn up some independent sources for improving the article (which is necessary), including sources. But merging this into the TT/TTD article is also an option. --Mopskatze (talk) 15:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The number of hits on Google does not solely indicate notability, but the presence of verifiable sources in said search do. (The same thing is also stated in WP:SET#Notability.) What came up as reliable sources? (I'm asking because when I did the Google search I drew a blank.) MuZemike (talk) 16:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Transport Tycoon without preference as to the history. A mod about which very little can be said that isn't derived from the mod itself. Nifboy (talk) 16:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Merge to Transport Tycoon per WP:NNC and VG's reasoning above. Jclemens (talk) 19:00, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
