Lack of reliable 3rd party coverage - there's YouTube stuff and fan blogs, and that's it. Notable as an item within Wreck-It Ralph, but not on its own. As there has been some edit warring, some clear decision seems desirable here. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:07, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Just added by the OP before taking a holiday: [1] - a bit of coverage. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:25, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

• Note. If kept, Fix-It Felix Jr. (ie. with a dot on the end) should be changed to point to it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:24, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

• Comment This has been moved to a user page; meanwhile the actual title in article space (with a period in front of Jr.; this has no period) has been redirected since 2013 with nothing further, and this item up for deletion was actually for an item in WP: space as Wikipedia:Fix-It Felix Jr. before the main creator moved it to the non-existent user's main page. Should this actually be up in WP:MFD instead? Nate • (chatter) 10:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
  • The user who created the article and opposed turning it in to a redirect moved it themselves when this AfD was created. Should the series of moves be reverted to allow the AfD to run, or should the article be speedy userfied/draftified and a redirect re-created? Iffy★Chat -- 11:00, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Gawd. Someone who understands what actually happened there with the moves please take over - I just tried to revert one and only increased the mess, I fear. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:10, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

This is why WP:G6 exists, I'll see if I can fix the problem, and then add some tags so an admin can clean up the mess. Iffy★Chat -- 11:13, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Tags added - when an admin deletes the pages, the User page can be moved and everything should be sorted. Iffy★Chat -- 11:18, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

All sorted. Thanks User:RHaworth. Iffy★Chat -- 12:12, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Yup, cheers! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Fiction inspiring reality is an interesting idea. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:24, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
• Keep It's a spin-off video game from a film. If it meets GNG (and I think this does, just about), we've generally kept such things. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:05, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Roll on the 3rd party coverage guys, then I'm all for Keep :) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:09, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

• Keep Now that we have the nom figured out (thank you everyone!), I agree this meets GNG as a unique playable artifact of the actual film. Only thing I'd do is add the period on the end and move it there. Nate • (chatter) 23:43, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
• Redirect to Wreck-It Ralph (and move to the proper period on the end (or maybe don't, I didn't realize that article already existed - 00:18, 14 January 2018 (UTC)) I had initially been the one to just boldly revert to the redirect version, but when I saw this AfD and the keep votes on it, I decided to ruminate further on whether I think it needs a standalone article. After thinking... I still think it doesn't need to be its own standalone article. I don't think, from the sources I've looked at, that it's notable on its own, and even if it is, I'm not sure there's enough content that could be included in such an article to make a standalone article's existence make sense (as opposed to the same information being woven into the Wreck-It Ralph article, for instance). - Purplewowies (talk) 00:13, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

• Redirect - I couldn't find any significant coverage from reliable sources outside of the already mentioned Venture Beat article. Probably best presented in its parent article anyways, in some sort of "Promotion" or "Impact/Legacy" type subsection. Sergecross73 msg me 03:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
• keep and improve it's like no one even looked for references. Kotaku has an article on it, as does Business Insider, as does Rock, Paper Shotgun. Weirdly, you can even play the game on ESPN.
