Google for "forgetting game" finds absolutely nothing in this context. -- Chuq 08:22, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable, but it's such a cool game idea that I'd love to be proved wrong. - Plutor 11:48, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Non notable, but I did not check all of the 40 links in google. Agree with Plutor. -- Chris 73 Talk 14:10, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep interesting game. notable? depends what that means. it seems as notable as many other things being kept, so keep it. what's the harm? Wolfman 15:22, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Sounds like an interesting game. but is lacking in notability.--Cspurrier 16:00, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable. -Vina 18:36, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete entirely non-notable and a joke to boot. Part of this 'list lots of non-notable things about Hellyer' campaign. Jongarrettuk 20:02, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, what was this about again? Seems to be part of a series of joke articles. Smerdis of Tlön 20:13, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. The Recycling Troll 20:58, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Amusing, but not notable. Gwalla | Talk 21:15, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete Dsmdgold 21:44, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep Obviously it has no google hits for such a game, but it is the favourite game of many a Burnie resident, i can vouch for that. And also people elsewhere in the world. ask User:259. Notable, for the fact that its played by so many ppl, and needs to be on wiki, else how would ppl find out about it? Codywilson 04:49, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: Chuq your original comment is a blatant lie. There ARE google hits for this game which is unusual for a game that is so... trivial. So it is notable. one example of this hit is http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Forgetting%20game, and also 'Zero Sum Game' on the same site, to name but a few.

  • http://home.interlog.com/~capco/Metaphysics.htm is another website which has reference to people playing the forgetting game. keep this article Codywilson 04:59, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. If it's on a Wikipedia mirror like TheFreeDictionary.com, then it is definitely a notable topic. Keep TrollQueen 05:26, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia mirrors text dump everything from Wikipedia, good or bad. They don't do any content verification. That something is on a Wikipedia mirror (such as TheFreeDictionary) has no bearing on the notability of an article. Delete. RickK 05:37, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
