This game was one of the last games developed by Loriciels Game Companies: Loriciels, a well-know video game developer.

Keep – received plenty of reviews in magazine (i.e. offline) sources here. Easily satisfies notability. –MuZemike 22:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a few issues with this:
1. Transwiki to http://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/Quadrel before considering for deletion. Just because an article doesn't meet requirements here doesn't mean it should be erased instantly.
2. Redirect to parent before considering deletion. Even if notability isn't inherited, redirects are acceptable.
3. It was referenced in multiple sources, even though the article doesn't mention it just yet. As such, it should be handled with the {{expand}} tag instead.
While it's nice to remove cruft from Wikipedia, consider other options before tagging for deletion, especially when an article is being created. --Sigma 7 (talk) 22:18, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The fact that you are inable to locate Web references for a game that pre-dates the creation of the World Wide Web is not grounds for deletion. Check here to see if you can find any more. SharkD Talk 04:15, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
