Criterion A7 does not apply to creative works or software. --DeltaGemini (talk) 10:21, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

• @Ben Ben: I'm declining this because A7 doesn't apply to this type of software since it's not a browser only game, plus there is an assertion of notability due to the award. However that said, I'm not seeing a lot of sources out there for this game as a whole so it would be well within Ben Ben's rights to take this to AfD. DeltaGemini, I would recommend that you find better sources for the article because the current sources just aren't good enough. I don't mean that to sound harsh, just that your sources are largely WP:PRIMARY and merchant sources. Primary sources cannot show notability for the game and merchant sources should not be used on Wikipedia in any format since their primary goal is to sell you something. Also I need to note while the Pocket Gamers review is usable to show notability, the information page is based entirely on information released from the company and as such is considered to be a primary source. You could use it to back up small, WP:TRIVIAL details but you cannot use it to show notability. The only two usable sources were the Pocket Gamers review and potentially this Kill Screen article. This isn't enough to show notability and you will still need to source the game's award. I'm a little concerned that the award doesn't appear to be overwhelmingly notable per Wikipedia's guidelines, so I'd recommend looking for a news article about this as well. (Less than 1% of any award ever given for anything is considered to be something that give notability and this includes Nobel Peace Prizes, Heismann Trophies, and large film festival awards.)
