:Yes, but most of those games are so simple that they do not require guides. For the ones that do, it will have to be determined that they fit into one or more other categories (like notability and whatnot). Games that seem to have no English media mention whatsoever (I am not counting mentions in languages other than English) do not belong here on StrategyWiki. We could also use a policy concerning removing guides outside of our scope. What I am doing right now is just deletion and a message on the creator's talk page for the first two times, then a protected redirect to the Scope page for the third time. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 16:44, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

:I have to disagree with your assessment of Newgrounds games being out of our scope.  If a Flash game is large enough to have a guide, it shouldn't matter how notable it is as long as that guide is in-depth.  Flash games have notoriously minimal press coverage even if they are so complex that a guide would be necessary to expect someone to complete it.  For example, Bowmaster Prelude is a very complex game, and once Bowmaster 2 comes out, I can only assume that it will have too much depth for it not to be included in our scope.  --[[User:Tathar|Tathar]] [[Image:Tathar.jpg|32px]] ([[User talk:Tathar|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Tathar|contribs]]) 18:58, 21 November 2007 (CST)

::I think some Flash games belong.  If it weren't for the StrategyWiki guide for [[NANACA†CRASH!!]], I would have never figured out how to play.  Also, StrategyWiki first introduced me to [[Flash Flash Revolution]], which I now enjoy and play almost every day.  So if I am an example of a person who benefited from StrategyWiki's coverage of Flash games, how many others might be similarly pleased that these guides exist?
