Controversial little game about president-elect of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. The article was deleted in the portuguese Wikipedia due to lack of notability Holy Goo (talk) 15:18, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, actually it was merged into the article of the campaign, in the section "controversies". There is an english version of that article, Jair Bolsonaro presidential campaign, 2018. It could be merged there too but ir might qualify as undue weight. Holy Goo (talk) 15:24, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep First, notability guidelines differ on the various language wikipedias, so what one does doesn't affect another. I agree this article is short, and it will likely never reach the normal approach we use for video games, but there is still ongoing issues related to the current gov't investigation into this game. I'm not against merging it somewhere, it is a likely search term now, but I think we should judge if in a few months no other news about the investigation comes out. --Masem (t) 15:44, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. [Disclosure: I created the article.] Before creating the article, I asked about it at WikiProject Video games. Holy Goo does not assert any valid reason for deleting the article. The article already references two independent third-party reliable sources: Eurogamer and Gamasutra. A quick Google search easily demonstrates many more reliable sources.

- Just because there are sources, that doesn't mean it should be kept. How does that grant encyclopedic relevance? Holy Goo (talk) 12:41, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I shall spell it out. I am alluding to the notability guideline, which states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Axl ¤ [Talk] 17:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline also says "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article. I think this is a case where the WP:NOPAGE part of the guideline applies ("Sometimes, a notable topic can be covered better as part of a larger article, where there can be more complete context that would be lost on a separate page ").

Merge to Jair Bolsonaro presidential campaign, 2018. While the game is (borderline) notable, most sources mention the game in the context of the reactions it elicited, so it makes sense to cover it in the context of the campaign and not as a standalone article.

Merge to Jair Bolsonaro presidential campaign, 2018 per SoWhy's comment. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:38, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
