I only found a single reliable secondary source providing significant coverage of the game [1]. Delete per WP:GNG. Odie5533 (talk) 06:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The game has a place in the universe's canon. It's been approved by the creators of the film itself, and uses its assets, which I felt made it significant enough to include. Additionally, I found another review at [2]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MechaDev (talk • contribs) 08:46, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- There are other options as well. That would include a merge of redirect to either the Starship Troopers franchise page or a to the legacy section Starship Troopers (film) page where this is mentioned.--199.91.207.3 (talk) 21:18, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am usually against merging uncited content, especially into an already Featured Article. If the material that is merged could be cited to the SlideToPlay review then I would definitely consider that as an option, but I would not support merging uncited material in this case. --Odie5533 (talk) 22:12, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What about a straight up redirect? The film page already mentions this so it can redirect there without requiring a merge.--64.229.167.20 (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Self-redirects in the page are sorta bad, so if the article gets deleted or redirected then that link should be removed. The film page doesn't mention the game, but the novel one does. I think a redirect to Starship Troopers#Cultural_influence would be fine if we get a consensus for it. I would support it. --Odie5533 (talk) 23:42, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note that the Invasion film page, for which this game is a prequel, DOES mention the game. -- MechaDev 10:19, 15 December PST —Preceding undated comment added 18:20, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
