2048 Galaxy Edition (video game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently minor clone of last year's 2048 (video game), released a few days ago. The first version of the article was full of bold claims ("described by the Wall Street Journal as 'almost like Candy Crush for math geeks'") which actually applied to the original 2014 game, while studiously avoiding any mention of it. Minus those claims, we have that it might have featured in the second-place entry in a programming forum competition ( unless that's also talking about the original yes, it looks like that was just lifted from the original 2048 article as well). Fails WP:GNG. McGeddon (talk) 22:05, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge in to 2048 (video game) - Why delete when it can be merged..... – Davey 2010 Talk 22:44, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Because it's just one of hundreds of unremarkable clones of 2048, and doesn't even have a single secondary source. --McGeddon (talk) 22:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Shit sorry assumed this was a "special edition" .. Haden't realized it was just a clone, DERP I'm losing the plot I think!, Anyway we don't need articles on every single clone of a game, I can't find bugger all so will have to say Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete: Ugh. There are countless forks of the game. Probably hundreds referred to as 'galaxy edition' alone.  &#8213;  Padenton  &#124;&#9742; 06:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm not even sure if a redirect is needed. 2048/Threes are one of those overly cloned games on the cheap. --M ASEM  (t) 18:02, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Would normally recommend merge for these sorts of things, but a merge would not be worthwhile as there is not a single source in a WP:VG/RS search to confirm even the most trivial of noteworthy relations to the full game. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) Please ping me if more (non-English and offline) sources show in the future. czar ⨹   20:07, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete – Clearly fails WP:GNG, no content to merge and no reason to redirect to 2048. It's just one of hundreds of clones. – The1337gamer (talk) 10:23, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable clone. A notable original doesn't give inherited notability, and as many above has shown there is next to no grounds to stand on itself too.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 12:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
