Non-notable computer game with no google backlinks to game's homepage and an alexa rank of 5,660,799. --Chessphoon 17:20, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment: The issue isn't the harm of advertising.  When the deletion guidelines mention advertising, it's because they're trying to outline some of the things that make something inappropriate for an encyclopedia.  I'm sure that the game is good, but this is an online encyclopedia.  There are lapses.  No doubt you can find other games mentioned.  However, we reserve article space for notable things that, well, ought to be in an encyclopedia, so we are most emphatically not here to raise awareness.  We try not to raise awareness of political issues, gender/social issues, programming issues, or any other current concern.  Instead, entities that are notable (first, pioneering, popular to a degree that non-initiates know about them, affecting the outside world, influencing later development) are worthy of inclusion.  This is no comment on the worth of the game, just the encyclopedia-worthiness of this entry. Geogre 20:11, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Is the disambiguation really neccesary? I wouldn't have thought many folk would mix Space Combat up with other space simulations. A disambig with general discussion of combat in space, or a link/category to the space simulations page, yes; but not a disabig, surely. --Scott Wilson 20:28, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
