Non-notable computer game. Google does not turn up any WP:RS that indicate that it would pass WP:SOFTWARE. Mostly a game guide, which WP is not. Leuko 06:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable computer game. An english Google search for sources naturally would be fruitless for a game that seems to be primarily played overseas. Has entries at GameFAQs/GameSpot/IGN, which is a pretty standard measurement of game notability (or at least game series notability). --- RockMFR 08:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. Article could use a lot of cleanup but otherwise its a notable computer game I've heard of before. VegaDark 09:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - WP:NOT a game guide. --Nehwyn 13:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and cleanup. Does read like a game guide, but it's at least sourced, and seems noteworthy. Shimeru 00:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep ROSE Online is published by GRAVITY Co., Ltd., the creator of Ragnarok Online, both of which are notable. Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Those may be notable, but what about the article in question? --Nehwyn 05:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- From WP:SOFTWARE, "The software is among the core products of a notable software developer or vendor." --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep ROSE Online is most definitely notable, being one of the larger MMORPGs in Korean, Japan, Taiwan and such. Never made it in the west but insanely popular in the east. Ben W Bell talk 08:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Notable, and actually a little bit fun. At least the beta was when I played it. What information that breaks WP:NOT can be removed. Oh, and Google isn't the be all and end all of research; GameSpot and IGN both have information about this game. Havok (T/C/e/c) 10:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Notable computer game. The only reason nominator failed to find Reliable Sources on Google is due to a lack of competence in regards to search engine usage. - Hahnchen 21:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: And your comment shows a lack of competence in reading basic policies like WP:AGF and WP:NPA. Leuko 03:31, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
