There can be no serious argument against the concept of verifiability, but verifiability standards can vary according to the subject matter. To be sure the standards must be highest when we are dealing with the biography of a living person. For the walk through of a video game or the plot outline of a movie the game or the movie itself should be adequate verification.
I think we've been through this one a few times. Movie yes, video game no, IMHO.
Superficially "human dignity" is a fine standard, but like notability it is a subjective standard. This makes it difficult to narrow the scope of its application.
We could try. We haven't tried very hard with notability. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notability - it basically says "after 5 years of Wikipedia, we still have no consensus whatever on what should be in or out, or even, whether a policy on what should be in or out should exist". That's a pretty major failing.
