Bloons Tower Defense (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request

Lithorien has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Non-notable tower defense game. It is one in a series of many games of that type. There is no claim for notability - it did not start the genre, make significant advances to the genre, or bring the genre to any sort of (inter-)national attention.

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

• Keep I think this article can easily be expanded, as there are many sources that can be used. The game has been a top seller covered on the CBC as recently as two weeks ago, as seen here. The game has been covered in the New Zealand press as a top seller, as seen here. The game also appears to have been repeatedly covered by IGN, and they nominated it as their "Free Game of the Day" as seen here. I think there is definitely enough coverage out there to establish notability and to help us properly cover this topic. I'll try to give it a shot when I've got some time. --Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 15:32, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• There are 40 citations in the English Wikipedia's version of the article. Many of them full-blown articles from reputable sources on video games. Osiris (talk) 16:27, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...I think this may have been an extremely premature RfD, and I didn't do my due diligence. I withdraw the nomination - sorry for wasting everyone's time. Lithorien (talk) 16:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
