This was previously AFD'd in a batch nomination in 2013 with several other unofficial Mario games with stronger sourcing (Kart Fighter & Super Mario War), and Mario Bros. II largely wasn't touched upon in the discussion. Currently the article relies entirely on video game database entries, which aren't reliable, and I was unable to find any sources, although the title of the game meant there was a lot of unrelated results that were difficult to dig through. The fact that it's a PD title as opposed to a commerical release may contribute to the lack of coverage. Waxworker (talk) 21:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Searching for "'Mario Bros' Commodore" or "'Mario Bros' Thundersoft" filters out anything related to official Nintendo releases, but once they're all gone there just isn't much left. A few databases and some user-generated content, but nothing that's both reliable and substantial. I also tried a search of 1980s computer game magazines on archive.org and nothing came up there either. Lowercaserho (talk) 01:49, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. I was able to find 3 more sources and added. I think this has got historical significance, so we must keep. There are enough supporting sources for it. Lesliechin1 (talk) 09:12, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- Of the sources you added, MobyGames and GameFAQs are both unreliable (as listed on WP:VG/RS) since they are user generated content. I'm don't know if AusGamers is reliable but even if we assume that it is then the article still only has a single paragraph about the game, which is not significant coverage.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete - every source present, and what I've found, is either unreliable, not significant coverage, or both. Fails the WP:GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 18:55, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
