~~Delete~~. Cannot find any sources for WP:GNG, all hits seem to be for Merchant Price 2. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 13:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm the original author of the article. For what it's worth, I wrote it because this is a game I used to be very fond of, and the middle version had a nominal connection to a famous historical figure. Also Talonsoft considered it worthwhile to write a sequel to the game in 2001. Peyre (talk) 18:13, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - article could certainly stand for additional improvements. Not using other articles or topics as the entirety of my opinion, but sequel appears notable enough, as well as the company page (no consensus) on that one. My opinion is that notability is established and can certainly be conveyed through additional articles and news stories given time. Worse comes to worse, I'll pull out the magazines I have from 18 years ago that I know cover this game and capture additional references. Radagast83 (talk) 16:26, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Weak Keep - Yes, it's this page doesn't follow WP:YOU, yes it has very few references, but it seems to have been a major release back in the days, and I think it deserves a mention provided that the style if fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonyxc600 (talk • contribs) 05:37, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"provided that the style if fixed" is not a WP:GNG requirement and adding suitable sources is sufficient. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 08:21, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While Wikipedia arguably has too many articles devoted to video games this game was notable enough in its day. Improve the article.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:22, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
