Un-notable. I couldn't find any result [http://www.google.com.my/#hl=en&source=hp&q=Kicks+Online&meta=&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=63c344ed81a62741 here] that was notable for a reference. The results consisted of download links, Kicks Online sites, and the like. There is a reason here that attempts to address the notability issue. Kicks Online being a part of the players' life is not a reason why the article should still remain. Bejinhan Talk 09:38, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete - No reliable sources found that provide any significant coverage. -Teancum (talk) 12:29, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

So a game with an international community of over 30000 members and coverage via tournies that are posted live on Youtube doesn't have the right to remain on Wikipedia? It has the same scale as games like Audition Online, which does have its own article. I could try to expand this article, because there are some things left unstated, but I don't think deleting it is a good idea.

Also, since when does the standard search policy end at just typing in an entry at Google? At Youtube, there are a lot of videos that cover this game: matches, tutorials,and even movies made by the community themselves.

:Comment Chasimar, YouTube is not a reliable source. We need reliable sources to prove the notability of the article. If YouTube were a reliable source, this might be another matter altogether. YouTube hits does not necessarily mean notability. Bejinhan Talk 02:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete there is no non-trivial independent coverage in reliable sources that I can find, meaning the subject hasn't been shown to be notable. This is no reflection on the game, the infrastructure for reviewing MMOs to the relevant standard simply isn't there. Someone another 18:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
