I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by creator with the following comment left on his/her talk page: "I can't seem to understand why the article does not cover enough sources or external links, since it has nine sources, of which some are published ones e.g. tweets or blog posts. You might need to have published sources and commentary, of which both cannot be many available yet, as the games has not yet been release but is going to be in just one day (May 27) into Steam Early Access. From that point on, ratings, mentionings, etc. from different gaming magazines will go into the article. ". As it is clearly a case of WP:TOOSOON, the article should be deleted or userfied until such a point as independent sources (reviews, etc.) can be added.

- Keep References in article fail WP:RS but it now has coverage in reliable sources, although it's not very in-depth[1][2][3][4][5][6] Not bad for a game that's not released yet (although it's never 100% certain a game will be released so I'm not totally depending on that).

- The game was released today, May 27, as I mentioned before; we will probably see a lot of reviews soon. Lordtobi (✉) 12:25, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure exactly what a release into Steam Early Access signifies, relative to a full release for sale. But we can indeed wait a few days for reviews. Colapeninsula (talk) 13:43, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Needs a cleanup of the current references, not a deletion --☣Anarchyte☣ 10:26, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per Colapeninsula's sources. That's enough to meet the WP:GNG as it is, let alone, if these are the types of sites that are doing previews of the game, its reasonable to expect similar caliber sites will be doing reviews on it as well. Sergecross73 msg me 13:21, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Easy keep via a cursory video game reliable sources custom Google search. Many refs mentioned above but many more available even from the first page of the custom Google search's results, and from established sources like PC Gamer and IGN. It's enough even if no dedicated reviews were released. Withdrawal recommended. – czar 20:34, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
