Does [http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/spartan-runner/f60c5553-2214-4b62-a1b5-7f7613938584 this game] qualify for an article? It's not like the Windows store is rampant with Halo fan games everywhere (as far as I can tell, it's the only one). But it's not really well known either, apart from [http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=40181 this news] on Halo.bungie.org when it was released. My impression is that it can't get an article, but, well, I'm asking your opinion. Anyway, ''Spartan Runner'' is kind of a funny game, you should try it if you have a compatible Windows phone.

:I don't think we should set a fixed number of sources for something that is clearly subjective. There may be an occasion where official sources may not mention a fan post as it may conflict with their policy(ies) (e.g. copyright, commercial). It should be dealt with on a case-to-case basis. The only way to be certain with determining notability of a fan work is to discuss with the community. That is why the notability policy is drafted as follows:
:1. That the information has reliable and reputable sources that are independent of the subject; and
:2A. It has significant coverage to the extent that it is more than a trivial mention; OR
:2B. There is a foreseeable certainty that the information will see sufficient and future growth; and
:Also, please note that fan posts are not to be considered as a source; it can however be considered as a factor when determining notability. There is a tendency that these posts may attempt to market the fan work; if so, they are not considered ''"independent of the subject"''. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  04:10, 2 December 2017 (EST)
