Sanrio World Smash Ball!

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested WP: PROD. Fails to meet WP: NGAMES. No indication of importance, and both of the cited sources have only simple database information. The contesting editor stated "I would suggest a redirect", but doesn't suggest any target for the redirect, and neither the publisher nor developer of the game has an article.

Comment - It could be redirected to Sanrio or List of SNES games. Sergecross73 msg me 16:07, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think redirecting to Sanrio is appropriate, since that article doesn't cover this game at all, not even as part of a simple list. I can see the logic in redirecting to List of SNES games, but I was under the impression that we ordinarily don't redirect to "List of [platform] games" articles. I mean, every single game in existence has had a target platform, whether it was a released game, unreleased game, or even a proposed project which never entered development, yet we do sometimes delete articles on games at AfD rather than redirect them.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
