• Redirect Delete - fails the WP:GNG. I'm open to reconsidering if some are found, but it looks like this was largely used for games that fell somewhere between "low budget" and "shovelware", so it doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would garner much coverage...

Revising to redirect, as it is a plausible search term. No need to merge, as the bulk of the info is already present at the target as is. Sergecross73 msg me 16:11, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Redirect to Vicious Cycle Software#Technology - Best sources I found: Game Developer Magazine (fairly short piece of a larger article), Edge Spain (interviewing engine and game developers), FiringSquad (very promotional feeling interview), The Escapist (another interview, doesn't talk about the engine much). I don't consider GDM piece significant coverage and the rest aren't independent of the subject. --Mika1h (talk) 15:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect as suggested by Mika1h. The only real source, the Gamasutra article, mentions the engine once and doesn't really talk about it. I found one piece from Game Developer, but it's short and I can't vouch for the quality of the website. At best, these sources are good enough for mentioning the engine in the Vicious Cycle Software article. Cortador (talk) 16:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
