Delete I can't find any sources anywhere. Hobit (talk) 12:03, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No reliable sources. Pretty much a standard case of WP:NFT. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 14:58, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sounds like a variant on Bridge (card game). Maybe redirect accordingly? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 15:08, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not, it seems to be an unlikely search term. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 17:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I made this page was because I was browsing the 'list of trick-taking games' page and saw a number of pages which I thought to be against notability guidelines but nevertheless in existence, for example Pedro. Shnarbles is a popular trick-taking game in Southwestern Canada. I seem to have been the first person to write about it on the internet. If the page needs to be deleted, that's fine. I'm just trying to get a feel for the notability boundaries, since the notability guidelines do not describe what a notable game is.--Tess55 (talk) 18:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You raise a good point, Tess, and thanks for the understanding. Couple the problem with notability of games is that one's first instinct is to look at WP:GAME - which has nothing to do with games of this sort. =) If anything, you will want to look at this guideline for some notability guidelines, and WP:V and WP:RS accordingly. Hope these help. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
