The result was keep. It's been five days since the award was found, and no-one has disputed its significance. Olaf Davis (talk) 00:31, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreleased game which lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Award claims are not backed up with references. Even if they are source-able, notability of these awards are questionable considering the game is in beta. RadioFan (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, at least for now. According to the article this is still in beta and thus not yet officially released. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:02, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If beta is an issue, why doesnt Heroes of Newerth get deleted? And the award claims have been backed up with links to the SGA 2009's website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fahllen (talk • contribs) 11:40, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment other articles aren't really relevant in this discussion as articles are considered on their own merits and how they might meet guidelines for inclusion. But to answer your question, though that game is in beta, it has significant coverage in 3rd party reliable, verifiable sources, unlike this game.--RadioFan (talk) 14:41, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm following a number of games in this genre (LoL, HoN, and BLC). There are a number of sources covering BLC, even if they are pretty indy (MOBAgamers.com). A preliminary wiki page on BLC would be quite appropriate in its situation, I feel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jozrael (talk • contribs) 17:52, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The reliability of these "Indy" sources is questionable. MOBAgamers.com in particular appears to be a blog.--RadioFan (talk) 19:48, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep: I did a quick Google search, and found that it was indeed the Game of the Year at the Swedish Game Awards in 2009. However, when it comes to any other mainstream coverage, I came up with nothing. I'll keep looking and I'll post it here if I find anything, but winning an award show should give it enough notability to have an article... it's iffy though. -- Nomader ^(Talk) 06:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notable award win. - hahnch e n 19:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep – I'm not quite sure if [1] is reliable, but it did win that award, which does confer some notability here. –MuZemike 00:39, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
