Hey JimmyBlackwing, if you've got sources for this one like you do with other games from this company, I'm sure this article can be restored. 2600:1700:E820:1BA0:B4E4:7E2E:20D6:6290 (talk) 11:47, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Good call. Looks like Martin was already through here with at least one source back in 2016, so I wouldn't be starting from scratch, either. I know I have sales figures for it, at the very least—I'll see what I can do tomorrow. There might be reviews out there. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 11:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- JimmyBlackwing, sounds good! I restored the page from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wing_Nuts:_Battle_in_the_Sky&oldid=837697869 but if it gets redirected again, you can start again from there. 2600:1700:E820:1BA0:B4E4:7E2E:20D6:6290 (talk) 12:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- A single review doesn't really cut it for "substantial coverage". I've put a notability tag on for the time being, but if there are no further sources, this is likely to face deletion again. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:24, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Per the notability tag, I have moved the article to Draft:Wing Nuts: Battle in the Sky. Reinstating the article would require talking to the closer Natg 19 and/or a deletion review. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:25, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- JimmyBlackwing, article was moved to draft. If there are more sources, I will take to DRV. 2600:1700:E820:1BA0:10DB:5E36:3905:928A (talk) 02:41, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Planning to have a look at this one later today. I'll be by with whatever I can find in my archives. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 03:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- I'm sure there's more where that came from, but I've given it a quick go-over. Feel free to ask whoever's in charge of drafts (this part of Wikipedia is completely new to me) to re-add it to the mainspace, if you'd like. And thanks for the tip-off about this page!

- You're absolutely welcome, and it's a great improvement! 2600:1700:E820:1BA0:10DB:5E36:3905:928A (talk) 11:22, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

- Hi all, as the closer of the original article, I would recommend taking this to deletion review. I can see that you all have found more references for this game, but the references do seem a bit sparse. Natg 19 (talk) 06:41, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for your input, Natg 19, JimmyBlackwing, Elmidae, and GeoffreyT2000, so I have added this to DRV at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 April 24#Wing Nuts: Battle in the Sky I am also inviting AFD participants Czar, NinjaRobotPirate, Coolabahapple, Martin IIIa, UY Scuti, and Shawn in Montreal, as well as anyone else who worked on the article, including In Memoriam A.H.H., The1337gamer, and Phediuk. 2600:1700:E820:1BA0:F547:54CF:BB57:887D (talk) 11:29, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- i only added it to an afd list, and don't have any experience with these types of articles, but (here we go:)) it looks like the beginnings of a nice little article, what is needed though are more citations that zero in on this game specifically ie. are there any books/journal articles that cover this period of gaming, even a mention of this game could be enough, if the author is a respected person in this field, so more is needed.
