Spheres of Chaos[edit]

Article comes across as advertising and seems to be not noticable Kel-nage 14:54, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep I guess. Is shareware notable? Game is widely referenced with reviews and game cheats. That probably makes it at least slightly notable. It also runs on Windows; not just a Linux game. — RJH 15:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I'd take the case similar to books... published software (and games) are notable, self-published software is not - and that includes most shareware, it's far too easy to write it and stick it on the web somewhere and get a dozen users. Delete as such. Radiant_* 11:22, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm going to agree with Kel-nage on this. I think it's an advertisement. How notable is "130,000 pixels"? That's not even VGA quality. Most of what I saw on the Google hits were mirrors of a download network. --Xcali 16:32, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Advertisment for a non-notable game. --Carnildo 22:22, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstaining. Subject is notable enough for an entry, but this is a far cry from being up to Wikipedia's standards. Almafeta 06:11, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia isn't a games compendium, games guide or otherwise. Only influential or commercially successful games are worth detailing. Obviously shareware games are trickier to measure, but I don't believe that this one is bundled in any major Linux distributions. Average Earthman 09:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, very well known. Well, I thought that it was, when I was playing it quite often yonks ago, as were loads of others at school etc.. Maybe it was just me, but... James F. (talk)
  • Keep per assertions of notability from Almafeta and James F. Kappa 20:57, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
