There's nothing here that suggests that a split off from List of Roblox games is necessary. I'm all for Roblox games having their own articles under special circumstances like Adopt Me! or Dress to Impress (video game), but this article's sourcing is near entirely based on listicles from some of the lowest quality sources allowed by WP:VG/S like GameRant and Dexerto (both of which cannot demonstrate notability), flat out unreliable sources like Sportskeeda, sources with dubious reliability like Android Authority, or low quality game guide content. And while I do believe that rankings can be used to demonstrate WP:SIGCOV depending on the circumstance and the source itself, what is here simply is not enough and the sources are quite frankly garbage. The reception towards the game, which is generally what determines the life or death of a video game article, is also extremely lacking as a result; most of it is sourced to TheGamer, which is another source that can't demonstrate notability per WP:VALNET.

There is no actual material or sourcing present in this article that leads me to believe that this Roblox game meets the general-notability guidelines, and it should probably be redirected or merged into List of Roblox games. Also, not that this is not the first time articles for Roblox games have been nominated for deletion and merged back into the list article. For example, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pet Simulator, a very recent deletion discussion for another Roblox game that has similar if not equal coverage in reliable sources to this game, yet still is not notable. λ NegativeMP1 22:06, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

It seems that the original page author tried to blank the page and redirect it back to the list entry. I assume that this is an admission or the nominator wanting it gone, but I think their official vote here might be needed. Also, here's the permanent revision link in-case it gets blanked again during the course of this discussion. λ NegativeMP1 22:33, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Could you also specify which sources are not reliable? So I can remove them. EternalBaile (talk) 22:44, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
