Fails WP:N. I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources. The article currently cites 3 Gaming On Linux articles, but per WP:GAMESOURCES that is an unreliable, self-published source. It also cites Game Pressure, which is considered reliable but at ~4.5 paragraphs isn't significant coverage. (About half of the longest paragraph is about Hard Vacuum, another game.) Searching for more sources with WP:VG/LRS didn't turn up much. There was this gry-online source that is identical to the Game Pressure source (as the sites are related) and this GameStar source that's a roundup of several games, with only a few paragraphs about OpenHV. Perhaps this game will be notable in the future, but I'm not seeing significant coverage at this time. I should also note that the article was created by the game's developer, so there are COI concerns. Woodroar (talk) 20:03, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sadly, it looks like a cool, well done game, but Wikipedia is not advertising. There is not sufficient WP:SIGCOV from what I can tell, nor any real place to merge it that makes sense. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:17, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no coverage outside of blogs for this fame. Nothing we can use for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:33, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know that sources are also judged for notability on a sub-page of some wiki project. It is a bit confusing as e.g. Bos Wars has similar coverage, but was never nominated for deletion. Matthias M. (talk) 22:01, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The English Wikipedia has 6.6 million articles and some of them fall through the cracks. That being said, you are correct that Bos Wars has similar (poor) coverage, so I'll be nominating it for deletion shortly. Woodroar (talk) 22:20, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I must unfortunately agree. The game is awesome but it is my duty as a wikipedian to point out that this does not meet notability standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blitzfan51 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
