AfDs for this article:
- GetAmped (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:N. All current sources are primary (official sites and a press release) or unreliable (MMO Huts). I looked for WP:VG/RS-approved reliable sources using the Reliable and Situational custom Google searches and found a handful of very trivial mentions and more press releases. This game does not appear to have received significant coverage in reliable sources. (Note:I will be nominating GetAmped2 for the same reason.) Woodroar (talk) 23:26, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

- This might be a problem of having web sources which are a) predominantly English and b) which have survived since original release of the game in the early 2000s, given that 4Gamer (and IGN) indicates that the game was popular in Korea in 2006 (in an article for another game, mind you, but it's being used as the "here's what this game needs to beat") with some 11M users. GamesIndustry indicates the game is named "SplashFighters" in English-speaking countries, and under that name I see not a lot either (press releases and announcements, nothing treating the work with significance). There's a page (looks like an advert) in GameAxis. Here's a mention of the Chinese publisher. I think there's something notable here, but none of the sources available indicate it. That said, the developer has a page here at CyberStep, so, redirect as a viable search term. --Izno (talk) 00:38, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Redirect to developer CyberStep. Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap and a preferable alternative to deletion. czar 02:17, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete was deleted previously and I see no arguments to reverse that decision.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:48, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
