Request for deletion and notability

I would like to ask exactly what criteria for "notability" this page isn't meeting. This is one of the most monumental indie game projects ever undertaken: the creation of 50 fully fledged new indie games by some of the most reputed creators in the industry. The article itself has citations for every single claim through over a dozen secondary, independent sources. Weltall Zero (talk) 21:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding onto what Weltall Zero said, notability on Wikipedia, from my understanding, mainly comes from being covered by prominent secondary sources. UFO 50 has been mentioned by websites such as Eurogamer, GamesRadar, and RockPaperShotgun. If these sites are not reputable or notable enough, could you possibly direct me to websites that are? -E (talk) 21:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Weltall Zero and @Gisrhgver, you can object to this proposed deletion by simply removing the template. (But the proposer might then formally nominate it for deletion). Charcoal feather (talk) 18:31, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Link, IDK how to remove a redirect

Hey, I just noticed the link for "Eirik Suhrke" in the dev list redirects to Ridiculous Fishing (a game he worked on) rather than a page about the dude himself.

IDK how to fix it, but I figured I'd point it out for anyone who does.

Thanks for pointing that out, currently his name resirects to that article, but given he's worked on other projects it definitely shouldn't anymore. XeCyranium (talk) 04:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The game list

Currently the game list has a citation needed tag appended to it, though I believe there's nothing wrong with sourcing it to the game itself. This list made me wonder if the 51st game should be mentioned, or if a "secret" title is too trivial to be included in the article. Does anybody have a strong opinion either way on mentioning Miasma Tower separately? https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/unsurprisingly-ufo-50-seems-to-have-a-big-secret-meta-game-that-ive-only-just-scratched-the-surface-of/ This article focuses on the extra game, so if there aren't objections I'd use it as a ref for including mention.
