Insufficient notability, perhaps merge into a Truck Simulator community section? Apart from unreliable Metro, sources appear to be about a community around the game as a whole. IgelRM (talk) 12:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

• Weak keep Got SIGCOV from 2 sources, here and here. While Metro is considered a tabloid newspaper, there's nothing to suggest the article from them is factually skewed or influenced by bias. This seems like an edge case where Metro would still make sense as proof of notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

  I see the argument that Metro (WP:METRO) is in this case not much worse than the other sources. But it feels off that we write about this and not say, the TruckersMP modification. Could the modification pass notability, maybe that could be a merge target then? IgelRM (talk) 10:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

  With regards to TruckersMP, it does not seem to have gotten any coverage in RS whatsoever, while this did. So, it's simple why this should have an article while the mod should not. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

  The modification probably got more coverage, see PCGamer, GameStar, Shacknews. IgelRM (talk) 02:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

  Not really. All 3 of those seem like basic announcements rather than SIGCOV like the radio station got. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:03, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

  Fair enough, but I would not count those Truck Simulator feature articles as SIGCOV for the radio station alone. Found more from Eurogamer, PCGamer and note that multiplayer is now an official feature. IgelRM (talk) 10:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

  Those are definitely more substantial. Still, that seems to be the sole SIGCOV that exists on the Internet. It falls just short of passing GNG. If you can find something else, it would probably merit an article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:09, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

• Merge to the series article Truck Simulator. Zx's Eurogamer and PCN sources are good enough to write a small subsection, but not really enough to support a full article. I think it's best covered as part of this parent article. Sergecross73 msg me 19:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
