Non-notable electronic sudoku-like game. Deleted as a prod, but then the original creator put an objection on the (previously deleted) talk page. I treated that as a challenge to the prod and restored the article, so now I'm bring it here. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:09, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Delete - No coverage in reliable sources under either of the names listed in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 18:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia admins,

I am one of the original creators of this game. I was very disappointed when I learned that our game's page was deleted for non-notability reasons. If I understood correctly after reading through what notability means, the game is not important enough to be listed among Wikipedia articles. I disagree. uDigits is a commercial game listed on several app stores (Ovi, App World, GetJar, etc), and it is currently being developed for other platforms as well. Consider a use-case: a user browses an app store and sees the game, and decides to find out more about the game. Wikipedia is known to be an objective source of info. So it is likely the user would want to read about the game on Wikipedia, rather than on game's web site or elsewhere. I personally will try to improve the article wherever possible, but I am asking you to please keep the article and not remove it anymore. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexus forever (talk • contribs) 12:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC) -- moved from Talk:UDigits

Comment - It isn't necessarily an issue of importance although that is related. The concept of notability is really a guideline for the criteria that a topic must meet in order to be included in Wikipedia. The primary way to meet this inclusion criteria is to be the subject of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources such as gaming magazines. -- Whpq (talk) 16:33, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete Article about non-notable product which was clearly created for promotional purposes. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete: No evidence that this passes the GNG has been proffered, however much the creators have succeeded in marketing the program in app stores. For Lexus forever's benefit, the determining factor in "notability" for Wikipedia is not whether a program is commercially available, but - in the words of WP:GNG - whether it has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If the article creator can provide links to reviews in the print media, for instance, that would be helpful. Ravenswing 08:17, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
