Games that may not deserve to be in this list

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's citation only assumed a GBA release would exist. No official announcement was made in that citation, nor could I find one elsewhere in my brief search. Similarly, Barbarian's citation wasn't the correct article, and was a repeat of the first citation of the article. If someone can find valid citations, I'd appreciate it, as I couldn't find any in the admittedly brief time I looked. Otherwise, I feel these games should be removed from the list, since there's nothing I could find from publishers implying the games actually were planned for the GBA.

I know that this comment is almost 2 years old, but for record-keepings sake:

I agree about Chaos Theory. I was unable to find a source that verified a GBA version, and removed it from the list.
Barbarian, on the other hand, has an IGN source verifying it was announced for the GBA, so it's still on there. Sergecross73 msg me 18:19, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Radio Rayless - looks like an F-Zero clone. I couldn't find a reliable source to warrant keeping it on the list, but I found enough unreliable sources mentioning it that I do think its truly a cancelled GBA game. Can't got on the list without an RS, but leaving a note here incase anyone does find a source... Sergecross73 msg me 18:04, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

is HHPAY:Puffy Ami Yumi And The Manga Madman allowed to be on this article?

it IS a cancelled GBA game after all, and i think it deserves to be documented. 107.184.173.213 (talk) 05:16, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the inclusion criteria at the top of this talk page. Every entry needs at least one reliable source verifying the info for the game's entry. See WP:VG/S for a bunch of sources that would be usable or to be avoided. Sergecross73 msg me 14:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

look, to me, a cancelled game, OFFICIALLY announced or not, deserves to be documented here as LONG as a prototype is public. 107.184.173.213 (talk) 00:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I love documenting cancelled video games. Myself and another couple of editors have written 99% of the cancelled video game lists on Wikipedia. But it's not about being "deserving" of anything; Wikipedia operates on WP:V. Everything needs a reliable source verifying it. If we can't find that, then it needs to be documented on another wiki.

Found a source in the big list above and re-added it. Like Sergecross said, Wikipedia policy says we can only add entries if they have coverage in news outlets. (Which honestly isn't a huge inconvenience most of the time; there's usually something to be found if you're willing to put in the effort to look.) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 07:05, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding that. I almost suggested looking at Time Extension, as they seem to be the go-to reliable source for documenting "breaking news" cancelled game stuff. Sergecross73 msg me 17:14, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
