I feel this was mistakenly closed as keep at the previous AfD. To be clear, the first game, Godzilla: Monster of Monsters was determined to be notable. For the second game, Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters, only one review was found: [1], [2]. So again, I suggest this article should be redirected to Godzilla: Monster of Monsters#Sequel.

Keep. There are entries on the game with WP:SIGCOV in Lees, J. D.; Cerasini, M.; Lees, Marc (1998). "Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters". The Official Godzilla Compendium: A 40 Year Retrospective. Random House. ISBN 9780679888222. and in Weiss, Brett (2012). "Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters". Classic Home Video Games, 1985-1988: A Complete Reference Guide. McFarland & Company. ISBN 9781476601410. There is also less substantial coverage of the game in the following books: [3], [4], [5]. Along with the game review this meets WP:GNG.

4meter4 Looking at the Classic Home Video Games book, it says "this reference work provides detailed descriptions and reviews of every U.S.-released game for the Nintendo NES, the Atari 7800, and the Sega Master System". In such case, I'm not sure whether it should be used for notability purposes - by that every U.S. released game for all of these platforms would be notable, which doesn't sound right to me.

Redirect Most of the coverage cited by 4meter4 seems trivial or borderline. While a page *might* be possible, it seems altogether better to combine the game with its predecessor. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note the AfD result for the other game was incorrectly added to the talk page of this article. This has now changed to "no consensus". Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:05, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
