Comment Surprisingly, it exists. Whether these mentions would be enough to confirm it as notable is another matter: [1]; [2] Mandsford (talk) 22:27, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'd say Mandsford has clearly established notability. The LA Times, the San Jose Mercury-News, several newspapers in Florida - the verification and notability are there. Some of these citations should be added to the article. --MelanieN (talk) 15:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, those citations all appear to be subscription-only or pay-per-view. But I added one link at the article, from Iowa State University teacher education. Most Google hits are blogs but they are as far away as Australia, this is clearly a widespread and well established game. --MelanieN (talk) 16:22, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
