The Farming Game

Article about a board game. Only source is the web site of the owners of this and similarly themed games trying to sell copies. DreamGuy (talk) 23:31, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is also sourced by Boardgamegeek.com and other sources are available [1]. Just staying in print for 30 years is an indication of notability. Edward321 (talk) 00:33, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Boardgamegeek.com does not establish notability, as it tries to list every trivial thing it can, and it's NOT a reliable source as it's edited by the public at large. "Staying in print for 30 years" is not any sort of indication of notability by any measure Wikipedia uses. Random Google hits aren't either. DreamGuy (talk) 14:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article is a good start. Definitely needs more sources, but from Edward's link I'm confident they exist. Seems notable enough to me. -FrankTobia (talk) 02:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Nomination evidently fails WP:BEFORE. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to vote keep you might actually try some real justification by our actual rules... for a change. DreamGuy (talk) 14:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His point that WP:BEFORE is actually part of our deletion policy is on point though. Did you do a search? Hobit (talk) 00:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

keep [2], [3] have free and significant coverage. [4] is a non-free article solely on the topic (I can't see it), [5] is one of a large number of non-free articles that cover the topic. All that on the first page of the Gnews search. I've actually played this one with non-gaming friends. It's fairly well known if a moderate game (at best).
