Nubian Jak[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article created and edited by WP:SPA has huge WP:V issues and fails WP:N. The article as it stands is about a game called "Nubian Jak", basically trivial pursuit with questions about black history. I could find no evidence that the board game has won any significant awards despite claims in the article.Tetron76 (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources indicate that the company has won awards such as Winner of the Black Arts Sports Enterprise (BASE) award but nothing for the game.

None of the quotes qre sourced or seem to meet WP:V and could even be from adverts / promotion. The quiz show failsl notability and does not appear to be based on the game just shares a theme. I found one passing mention in a RS for the game [1]

Suggest that any salvagable material or information relating to the company which does get passing mentions could be placed in Jak Beula.Tetron76 (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep—The Jamaican author Jak Bubuela-Dodd won the 2005 "Black Enterprise Business Innovator of the Year" award for this game. It was also the first "black board game" to get mainstream distribution in the UK.[2] At the "Black Enterprise Awards 2005", the creators of the game won an "Innovator of the Year Award".[3] There appear to be sufficient independent sources to grant this article notability.—RJH (talk) 15:12, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just for clarification these are two sources for the same event with slightly differing information. I am not sure what your first source means by "black board game"? several Mancala games have been marketed, etc... I am guessing they mean "black history board game.Tetron76 (talk) 17:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It maybe that the article could be changed to Nubian Jak Ltd on the basis of awards but all of the awards listed on the NJ website [4] including this one are for the business not the game or for game design. If the reliable sources having significant coverage are found meet WP:GNG then I will withdraw my nomination but the two sources above only constitute passing reference.Tetron76 (talk) 17:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
