At the moment we really have to prove notability because of some power tripping admins. If you know of any sources which could be used to help prove notability it would be good to reference it.
This is what wikipedia says on notability: > A toy or game is generally notable if it verifiably meets through > reliable sources, one or more of the following criteria: > > 1. The toy or game has been a subject[1] of multiple, > non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent > of the game or topic,[3] with at least some of these works > serving a general audience. This includes published works in > all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television > documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain > sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow > past a summary of rules or in-game information.[4] > * The immediately preceding criterion excludes media > re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other > publications where the author, its publisher, agent, > or other self-interested parties advertise or speak > about the game.[5] > * Coverage from an online review website can be > considered non-trivial for the previous criterion if > the coverage includes work by at least one > professional reviewer or staff writer. Multiple > reviews on a single website do not impart additional > notability, so online reviews must come from multiple > sources or be supported by additional coverage. > 2. The toy or game has won a notable award or a commendation from > a recognized national or international educators, parents, > medical, or consumers group or some other similar body.[6] > 3. A copy of the toy or game is included in the collection of any > notable gallery, museum, or other educational institution such > as the Smithsonian or British Museum. > 4. The toy or game represents a significant milestone in the > development of toys or games, or has demonstrated some form of > historical, cultural, or technical signifiance, or has had a > major impact on culture or pop-culture, as referenced through > a notable documentary or retrospective. [7] > * This criterion includes the first game to use a game > mechanic which was later widely adopted; the first to > be published in a certain way, for example online or > print-on-demand; or which is otherwise described as a > significant step by multiple reliable sources. > > Toy and game articles should be edited in line with Wikipedia's other > policies and guidelines. In particular, all content must be verifiable > by reliable sources. Thoughts are welcome.
