This article is little more than a stub; I suggest it should be rolled into the article on the publisher. The sole reference is to a specialty encyclopedia that was originally published by the same company as the game itself. Ewilen (talk) 03:49, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - again, the nominator has it wrong; the 'specialty encyclopedia' in question was originally published by Mongoose, not by Evil Hat. Don't Rest Your Head has been extensively reviewed and is one of Hicks' most respected game designs; definitely meets WP:GNG. The current state of the stub is not grounds for deletion - in fact, the nomination contains no valid grounds for deletion whatsoever. Newimpartial (talk) 04:23, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Newimpartial. Designers was originally published by Mongoose, which is totally independent of Evil Hat, and the original version discussed the game plenty, while the subsequent edition of the book published by Evil Hat simply expanded on the material. The same applies to all four articles nominated by the same nominator, and I will look for more sources / reviews for all of them. BOZ (talk) 04:42, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment note that Ken Hite reviewed DRYH at Gaming Report - the broken link is [1] and I don't have time to try to find it in an archive at the moment, but it was the review that led me to buy the game. A Ken Hite review along with Designers & Dragons unquestionably meets WP:GNG. I suggest that the nominator drop the stick. Newimpartial (talk) 04:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
