834:. Draftify doesn't make sense in cases like this. Expert source searchers are not going to arbitrarily come out of the woodwork in the next several months. Ask a noticeboard and you'll get some bites, but otherwise drafifying rarely makes sense unless someone is explicitly asking to work on it in isolation.

that will be notable soon, or newly created articles that were moved into mainspace too quickly, where there's an author willing to work on them. Draftifying this will likely ensure its deletion, considering sources exist but are difficult to find. I've added two older magazine reviews to the article

You've misunderstood both of my arguments. I'm not saying this is notable because those are notable. I'm showing we frequently discuss video game series in one article, without requiring the entire series to be notable, as a way of consolidating articles. Also, I'm not saying this is notable because

Australia in 1997, for I think a week. However the internet won't be the best place for searching for notability as this was a 90s game that I'm certain would have been reviewed in other major sources similar to the

while the individual games might be notable on their own, the series as a whole has not received coverage. This article can become a standalone article for the original game if enough sources (like reviews) are found for the game. I do not support draftify because I do not see how the series'

I'm still a keep - I'm sure you'd find reviews for the earlier games if you look in the right spots, and we also group games together by series when they're not individually notable enough for their own article: see

the problem is that this article is not about one game, but the whole series. It mistakenly calls new games as "versions", which isn't true. First ref is just about the last game, Stuff is about the first game, etc.
554:- I think that is the best option. It was always going to be difficult to find online sources for this game. Draftifying would at least give someone the chance to find offline sources should they wish to.

Draftifying doesn't make sense. This article has been on the website since 2004, only six years after the last edition of the game. Draftifying works best with articles that are

We typically cover video game series as a whole without requiring them to be covered as a series. That's not a reason for deletion. See other examples, for instance
