Your submission at Articles for creation: Villagers and Heroes (July 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tokyogirl79 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I've declined this because there's a lack of coverage to show how this game currently passes notability guidelines. You have two sources. One is Engadget, which is usable as a RS. I'm not entirely sure about Massive Overpowered. It looks like it should be usable, but I'd have to run it through WP:VG/RS first. They're fairly selective about sources. I'll open a thread about it.

Now even with these two sources, this still isn't enough to establish notability, especially as both are primarily based on the same press release and mostly just restate/reprint the PR. That doesn't really show a depth of coverage. It's usually pretty difficult to establish notability for games, especially prior to the official release date. Most games (unless they're media darlings) do not gain enough coverage to warrant an article prior to release or the official full release. For every Yandere Simulator there are hundreds that don't get any sort of notice for their beta releases. It's that difficult. Most games only gain notability after release, so odds are that this game probably won't pass notability guidelines until it releases in September.

On a side note, I also removed all but the one official website in the external links section. Typically there only needs to be one official link, as the official website should have links to all of this in their website. If they don't, then that's something that they need to add. I don't mean to sound harsh, it's just that the EL section isn't meant to be a repository for every link related to the game, official or otherwise. Also, don't link to the Steam listing. Steam sells games and linking to them could be seen as promotional, even though the game is free to play. (And like the other links, the official website should have a link to this - if they don't then that's something they really need to add!)
