Doesn't appear notable outside Twitch acquisition. Was a draft that has been moved by creator. Recommend redirecting to Twitch (service). IgelRM (talk) 01:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Databas för spel tar in miljoner, 13 February 2018, in Dagens Industri, is a 500-word article in the dominating Swedish finance newspaper. There's a couple of paragraphs in "Mycket på spel i snabbväxande bransch", Göteborgs-Posten 24 January 2019 (pages 16–17), online as "Mycket på spel i snabbväxande Göteborgsbransch". There's also "Blev rik på sin galna get – nu investerar han i 'IMDB för spel'" in the Swedish news site Breakit, probably the dominating source of journalism aboout finance news about the tech sector in Sweden. I'm leaning towards keep, based on this and the sources already available in the article. /Julle (talk) 16:35, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks for the Swedish sources. Somewhat local startup coverage, but some details. Perhaps a merger with Twitch service would still make sense, but otherwise leaning keep.

  Dagens Industri says "world's largest database for computer games", I think MobyGames would claim that. "rawg.io" etc don't get that much local press, right? IgelRM (talk) 03:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I can't confirm if Göteborgs-Posten article is WP:SIGCOV but even without it, there's just enough with the 2 other Swedish sources and Twitch acquisition articles. --Mika1h (talk) 18:33, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Mika1h: I realize this is the AFD venue, but may I ask your opinion about a merge after my above comment. I will withdraw the AFD if someone wants to switch to the article talk page.

  @Sulfurboy: (AFC reviewer in 2020), do the sources change your notability concern? IgelRM (talk) 09:13, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with a merge. --Mika1h (talk) 09:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: User:IgelRM, you are the nominator and you say you are now leaning Keep. Do you want to withdraw this nomination?

• Keep I think the facts of the size of content of the database and the usage by Twitch and Amazon alone justify it for a article. If you insist that it fits better there, you could merge it as a section in "Twitch (service)". UnkreativeFrog (talk) 02:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC) (writer of "IGDB")[reply]
• Keep - size of content and usage of Twitch etc do jusrify this article being kept. BabbaQ (talk) 22:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
