Non-notable game level that doesn't have WP:SIGCOV. If you review the WP:REFSPAM you will find that most of these are passing mentions, or even unreliable blogs. Jontesta (talk) 19:37, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

• Keep (as creator) – There's a few listicles in the citations (TheGamer is never useful, the IGN and GamingBolt listicles also stand out), but despite that, there's also a lot of more substantial writing by proper reliable sources. The Kotaku article is great, the Bloody Disgusting article is really solid, the Gawker and Lifewire articles are surprisingly good, Eurogamer is always great, and I'm personally very partial to Kill Screen's coverage of these sorts of things. I believe this article easily meets GNG with all these in-depth writings. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
• Keep - besides the coverage listed above, there is these sources from Den of Geek, The Gamer (made after 2020, so it is reliable), and Bleeding Cool (not really for notability, but could be added nonetheless). These, combined with the above, should pass WP:GNG. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:09, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

  Per WP:VG/S, consensus says that The Gamer can't be used to prove notability. Sergecross73 msg me 01:21, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Kotaku [1] and Eurogamer [2] are probably enough to make this meet SIGCOV. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:52, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Keep In addition to the above sources, there is a scholarly source discussing a creepy pasta based off the location: [3]. Jumpytoo Talk 05:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Keep: There appears to be enough coverage in third-party, reliable citations to prove notability. Aoba47 (talk) 18:41, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• Keep: I may be biased but I think there are enough diverse reliable sources in the article to pass WP:GNG and WP:V. Pizzaplayer219^Talk_Contribs 15:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
