I no longer believe that being invented by a child makes an otherwise ordinary card game notable. Gray Porpoise_{Your wish is my command!} 16:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - I was surprised to see that the manufacturer Gamewright is probably notable, but I don't think individual games are. -- Bpmullins | Talk 17:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• delete per nom.Arnoutf 20:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I do think that something invented by a six year old does have a spark of notability. In addition, this game has received quite a favourable welcome (mostly noted in parenting websites and blogs, so I have not listed them in the article). I've added a few positive independent third-party sources and reviews of this game to the article, including being listed on the "2006 Best Bet Awards" by the Canadian Toy Testing Council.

• Delete per nom. This does not appear notable. If Gamewright had an article I would suggest a merge. Soltak | Talk 19:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The references, although minor, establish notability as per the primary criterion of WP:N. Ccscott 21:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Note - I've reformatted the references that were there and added another one covering the subject from the Washington Post. Please take another look. Ccscott 10:13, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Doesn't appear notable to me. Montco 03:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - never heard of it. --Linear Model 08:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment "I've heard of it" and "I've never heard of it" are not reasons for deletion or retention. I hadn't heard of this game before, either, but I took the time to find out that it actually has a lot of coverage and attention. Agent 86 10:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Linear Model is new created vandal account. Hevesli 20:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Very weak keep. The linked sources seem to indicate some notability. Can't say much about the award as I've not heard of the group awarding it, so I don't know how big it is. This article needs some serious expansion, though; it doesn't even give the slightest indication what the game consists of, besides cards. Tiakalla 05:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep sufficient news coverage demonstrated in above search. Addhoc 16:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Agent86. There's enough raw material to create a verifiable, neutral encyclopedic article. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
