[edit] Doofer

Doofer (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a card game (a variation of rummy) that is not notable enough to have an encyclopedia article. CastAStone//(talk) 17:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

  • This seems a very subjective comment. --Cardshark23 (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC) — Cardshark23 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete, absolutely no reliable sources found in a search. Wikipedia is not for made-up card games. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I suggest TenPoundHammer performs some better searches. "Doofer" is alternatively known as Proter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cardshark23 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
      • I suggest Cardshark23 read WP:RS before getting a snarky attitude. Geocities is hardly a reliable source. JuJube (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete junk. JuJube (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Not even close.--CastAStone//(talk) 21:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Therefore we assume that the pagat.com website (1999 onwards) is equally useless. It also references Proter on http://www.pagat.com/whatsnew.html --Cardshark23 (talk) 22:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Actually I think that that looks like a much better site. It at least verifies that the game is real. Now the problem is Notability - you have to prove that the game is notable enough to belong in an encyclopedia; if you can find a few newspaper articles or some mainstream media coverage about the game or the game's impact or the games popularity, something like that would absolutely change my mind. As of now, I feel this is not notable.--CastAStone//(talk) 01:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not notable. (Cardshark: "Notable" is actually a rather objectively determined term on Wikipedia.) - JasonAQuest (talk) 03:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Don't you mean "subjective"? ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak
  • Delete as lack of sources indicates lack of notability. My Google search turned up diddley ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 05:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
