It is a card game, it exists, but I cannot find anything to suggest it has significance historically, or has extensive coverage. Boleyn (talk) 09:19, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article was started on 2009. Its tough to find notablity references. There is mention of Android app for this game which should add for notability. Dose not make sense to delete old articles based on new policies.nirmal (talk) 10:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- It's a card game, it exists, it is played widely in the region (meaning it's not a game someone just invented and tried to promote here). No opinion on whether it should be kept. Usedtobecool ☎️ 15:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom. To address other comments: (1) the age of the article is part of no notability criteria -- indeed, for an article to go so long unsourced is a contraindicator to genuine notability;
(2) That it is tough to find notability references does not mean that Wikipedia's notability policies and guidelines are waived. To quote WP:N - "The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability." The answer to "But I can't find reliable sources" -- and has Nirmal tried? -- is not "keep it anyway." It's that the article should be deleted;
(3) There is no notability criteria stipulating that the existence of an Android app makes a subject presumptively notable;
(4) "Dose not make sense to delete old articles based on new policies." The hell? Even if this was a valid reason under Deletion policy to keep an article (it is not), the first iterations of the GNG predate this article's creation. By a couple years, as to that;
(5) "it is played widely in the region ..." And I would be interested in reliable sources saying so.
I hope and trust the closing admin will take all this into account. Ravenswing 12:57, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
