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. R adiant _* 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)
