The only source that might contribute to notability is the Polygon one, which is surprisingly OK. All the others are unreliable or press-release type, which does not help notability, a search found nothing else.

Also, I have never seen an article on a guidebook before, not that that impacts notability. Do we have any others? PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I took as examples articles like The Cairo Guidebook, The London Guidebook, and Hero Builder's Guidebook. Ersene (talk) 17:45, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the examples. The first one has two pieces of reception so is notable - unsure about the other two. PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Stardew Valley#Legacy, insufficient significant coverage for its own article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I added an important review from the CBR site. Ersene (talk) 18:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  That's a listicle so I don't think it's enough. CBR is also Valnet which is unreliable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, listicle + Valnet is not a great combo. Only reinforces the idea that it's not a notable book. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:15, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Stardew Valley. Not sure it belongs in a "legacy" section. But I support generally merging to that article.4meter4 (talk) 15:25, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
