This game is notable how? It does not seem to pass WP:GNG in that it provides no assertion of the subject being notable in anyway nor do the sources in the article assert that this game is notable. Is Wikipedia an indiscriminate compilation of all games ever created? →ὦiki-Coffee(talk to me!) (contributions) 00:37, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

- WP:BEFORE is important. I've found a number of WP:VG/RS that I think might put it on top of notable: [https://www.engadget.com/2008/10/08/joystiq-interview-spooning-with-dark-room-sex-game/ Engadget/Joystiq interview], [https://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/joystiq-hands-on-indiecade-games-galore/ Joystiq/Engadget conference review], [https://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/porn-for-wii-dark-room-sex-game/ Engadget review], [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-21-copenhagen-game-collective-announces-dark-room-sex-game-hd Eurogamer sequel announcement], [http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/112790/Inside_the_IGF_Student_Competition_Dark_Room_Sex_Game.php Gamasutra interview], [https://www.destructoid.com/sex-game-utilizes-the-wii-remote-96324.phtml Destructoid short review], [https://killscreen.com/articles/game-female-sensuality-much-apple/ couple of paragraphs in a Killscreen "sex" article], [http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/01/22/the-year-in-sex-2008?page=2 A couple paragraphs in IGN "2008" article], [http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/123070/Road_To_The_IGF_Were_Very_Uncomfortable_With_The_Copenhagen_Game_Collective.php separate Gamasutra interview by designer], [http://gamestudies.org/1301/articles/oldenburg_sonic_mechanics mention in a journal article]. It's not so obvious as the nominator makes it. I'm seeing a lack of depth of coverage but I do think there's probably scope for a page on the designer. --Izno (talk) 01:23, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS, as listed by Izno above. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 13:18, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

- Keep per Izno and Hellknowz, and echoing the suggestions found in WP:BEFORE. The game has mainstream coverage outside of even VG/RS, with sources available from Google News and even Google Books. Remember, notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. -Thibbs (talk) 14:12, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
