I don't believe this article is worth a page, it's barely noted anywhere, it has only <500 downloads based on the TF2 maps page, has nowhere else talking about it, and the page has barely any information to make it worth covering. The only coverage I could find is 1 YT video covering several fangames with ~13k views and 1 video of just gameplay with 26 (as of the time of writing). Comparing it to the 3 other fan games featured on the wiki: Gang Garrison 2 was voted to be the 9th best indie game of 2010 on indieDB as well as having its own wikipedia page. Fortress Forever has its own wikipedia page and even its on Steam page (Through Steam Greenlight). And Team Fortress Arcade has 12.8k downloads according to the first Google result.

Overall I think this game is not really fit for a page, as it has barely any information and has barely any notability whatsoever. While there aren't any official guidelines for fan games (yet), I do believe that it's common sense for a game to have to be notable in one way or another that's obvious from just googling.
