OpenHV edit
@Matthias M.: the article seems nominated for deletion, so we would need reliable sources on notability to add it to the list. Ffaffff (talk) 21:14, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- It seems to me that many more entries have to be deleted if the guidelines are enforced equally. Matthias M. (talk) 12:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- They should, and I say it with a heavy heart, since there are a lot of very good games. Ffaffff (talk) 13:23, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Matthias M. Mayhaps… but, not necessarily. Given the (relatively) permissive licensing models employed, and source code availability, they're frequently used in scientific, academic, and research settings. Those viewing these simply as "games" overlook that they're highly complex pieces of software. Leveraging scholarly coverage for sourcing notability, instead of the banal, consumerist video game press may be fruitful… Google Scholar and Google Books are resources often overlooked regarding these entries. Coverage doesn't get more in-depth and "significant" than analysis of algorithms and statistical models, etc. There is also typically some sort of academic-ish overview of gameplay and functionality wrapped in as well. Don't discount them all just yet! Except OpenHV… because I ain't found nothin' for that! :-P -- dsprc [talk] 15:23, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
GNOME Games edit
Thoughts about deleting this row? It is not a separate game in and of itself and the associated page has been redirected to the Greater organization subsection of the Open source video game page. KylieMBrooks (talk) 10:08, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
