• Delete as the subject likely fails WP:GNG. Searching for sources is made slightly difficult by the game with the name "Impulse"; however, even with extensive searching I was unable to find any secondary sources that discuss this game mechanic. (There is discussion about it on BoardGameGeek, however, per WP:BGS, that does not constitute a reliable source, as it's user-based.) There are game mechanics that have secondary reporting -- see what is a deck building game and what is an area control game. Greatpopcorn (talk) 01:22, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm fairly sure there has been meaningful sourced discussion on the pros and cons of impulse-based "initiative" systems. I've certainly had those discussions a number of times (with different people) and I recall reading about them back in the 1900s (that's fun to say). But I can't find anything. Of course, I played Champions, Car Wars and SFB, and I imagine the intersection of folks that played all those is vanishingly small... Hobit (talk) 19:02, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Already PROD'd so Soft Deletion is not an option.

• Delete. Only found the term used in game descriptions. Lacks SIGCOV to pass WP:GNG. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 22:15, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as the only sources I've been able to find are other wikis and forums; doesn't have WP:SIGCOV. - AquilaFasciata (talk | contribs) 16:31, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
