User:Kinitawowi/The Game (LAME)

Workpage for development of a write-up of The Game (game) (memory game) (intangible game) (forgetting game) (Lost) (meme) (whatever) to ultimately appear on WP:LAME. Because it needs it.

Points of contention

• spread (widespread throughout the English-speaking world?)
• rules (grace period, umpteen other self-made variants)
• name (see list above)
• WP:RS (does one Belgian newspaper satisfy all existing claims?)
• WP:V (how do you verify a game where the goal is to not think about it?)
• savethegame.org

Resolution

• deleted at (something)th AFD attempt
• recreated out of process at end of subsequent DRV
• deleted again out of process following 5th AFD attempt and DRV
• finally permanently deleted at 6th AFD attempt

Aftermath

• still occasional attempts to recreate at The Game (a disambiguation page) and its talkpage
