The article has been unsourced since Feb 2007. After 15 years, I think a deletion discussion is appropriate. Coin945 (talk) 08:49, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep, the nominator does not propose a valid WP:DEL-REASON. The nominator does not say which notability guideline this article fails to meet. SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:22, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete' SailingInABathTub seems to be trying to stop Coin945 from making any contributions. This is an unsourced article on a video games. If Sailinginabathtub wants us to keep this article he should produce at least one article that shows notability. If he wants to enforce a grandfather clause he needs to find a time machine and go to 1925 Alabama because we have no such things here. His contributions to these discussions have been totally disruptive and would lead to Wikipedia having more druk and rubbish, which we are already drowining in. There are no sources produced for this thing. This article should have been nomined after it existed unsourced for 15 minutes, it should never have made it to 15 days unchallenged, let alone to almost 15 years. It is time we take a stand against unsourced rubbish in Wikipedia. It is such total drek that has lead to some hoaxes lasting a whole decade.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Or perhaps the nominator should do WP:BEFORE instead of getting everyone else to do it for them? SailingInABathTub (talk) 20:28, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, sources added. SailingInABathTub (talk) 20:29, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per the reliable sources which are now in the article, and minor copyediting which I've just done: this should not have been nominated for deletion without a WP:BEFORE check! jp×g 08:01, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge; while there are sources to back up that this exists, I unfortunately do not see this really being its own article (especially if it is one in a series). jp×g 17:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Commment this had been closed as speedy keep. As it does not meet those criteria I have re-opened the discussion, though I have no opinion about this nomination otherwise. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect I see no indication that this remotely warrants a standalone article, there's very, very little coverage of the game itself and anything that can be said about it, can be done in the primary article about Ceetah Girls. Same goes for the sequel, which I will be nominating shortly. TAXIDICAE💰 17:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, The sourcing here is very poor. Metacritic has one review, Google Arts and Culture is just an image and release year, the IGN source is about the sequel, and the Kidzworld source seems unreliable. I have done WP:BEFORE and nothing of note showed. It simply fails WP:GNG. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:12, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as the person responsible for the early closure, I have to say that nothing more than trivial mentions exist. All I was able to find on Newspapers.com was a single sentence in one article. Scorpions13256 (talk) 03:39, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've edited the article and added more citations. I think the article should be improved rather than outright deleted. KieranStanley (talk) 05:06, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  On second thought, Merge with The Cheetah Girls franchise page with added section for all 3 video games. KieranStanley (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - The original nomination was lousy, but other reasons have been articulated since then. None of the sources brought forward thus far appear to be both reliable and provide in-depth coverage of this subject. Not opposed to it being mentioned in one of the main Cheetah Girls articles. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 11:52, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: Merge/Redirect to the franchise article seems like a fine alternative, too. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:45, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per poor sourcing. Namcokid47 14:43, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep More sources have been added and I think we just need to keep adding to before deleting it. FanDePopLatino (talk) 05:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Proposal to create The Cheetah Girls (video game series) then merge 3 video game articles there: I could see an argument for merging the three video games into a new article entitled The Cheetah Girls (video game series). Collectively there should be enough sources to justify an article.--Coin945 (talk) 05:54, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Support for reasons stated. KieranStanley (talk) 06:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Support creating The Cheetah Girls (video game series), then merging turning three stubs into a start class or higher is a win-win. (Oinkers42) (talk) 19:52, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Commment But The Cheetah Girls (video game series) already redirects to the group's main article so if we were to just merged all the video game articles there, wouldn't that just cause double redirecting errors? FanDePopLatino (talk) 06:45, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  To clarify, I was talking about creating The Cheetah Girls (video game series).--Coin945 (talk) 08:33, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Support I believe that would be a great way to go about it. All the games in one article would be the best way to do it. FanDePopLatino (talk) 15:31, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, is this source reliable or unreliable? WHY DOES THIS GAME EXIST?! PLAYING WORST GAME BOY ADVANCE GAMES! The Cheetah Girls SailingInABathTub (talk) 09:47, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's one of a plethora of YouTubers who fancy themselves an expert. TAXIDICAE💰 12:23, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as nom, though the merger suggestion above has merits if the sourcing is right. The current article only has citations to prove the game exists, rather than any proof of notability, and I think the gameplay section looks like a transcript from a YouTube channel rather than anything worth keeping. doktorb _words^deeds 05:14, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into The Cheetah Girls (franchise). As discussed above, the extant sourcing doesn't meet the GNG and with an existing parent article, Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap. Any split to a separate "games series" article should be based on size/weight within the parent franchise article—a premature conversation given the current size of the article. czar 05:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with The Cheetah Girls (franchise): For the reasons others have given. Notability seems dubious and the franchise page seems like the best place to go with this. DocFreeman24 (talk) 04:15, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with The Cheetah Girls (franchise) per above, I concur the stand-alone notability is very weak, but a merge and redirect should be enough to save this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:46, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into The Cheetah Girls (franchise) per above. Good compromise and nice to see Wikipedia functioning well. Archrogue (talk) 18:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
