An editor's prod was contested. This fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 02:27, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I was the PROD tagger, and agree with the nominator's rationale. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:33, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep it Found out that this game is somewhat popular and I really believe that Wikipedia should have an article about it. Thank you. Megahmad (talk) 12:07, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Update: iTunes preview on the game, "App Store Game of the Year 2012 in selected countries!!! 30 MILLION DOWNLOADS!!!" Megahmad (talk) 14:46, 20 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep The game has some popularity as an app (which in itself does not, of course, support its notability). However this popularity has garnered several reviews of the game from App Review websites like these:, , .  It was also, at one time, ranked #1 in the top free apps for the iPad by CBS News.  See what happens when you follow WP:BEFORE?  It's like magic!   I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 06:18, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I always follow WP:BEFORE. The first three sources are unreliable. Since when is finding unreliable sources and a trivial mention considered magic? Normally editors make such comments when they actually do show notability. SL93 (talk) 10:54, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * This review from Inside Social Games seems more reliable according to their about page. I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 14:53, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'm familiar with this game, and I'm rather surprised that the game, which is both well-made and hit number 1 on the App Store Free Games Chart, seems to have virtually no coverage. (It may be important to note that, while CBS is the source, its not their charts, it's Apple's official chart.) I'm leaning towards delete, but want to search further for sources first, as part of the reason could be the incredibly generic title... Sergecross73   msg me   12:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. I looked at this before and I can still only find the one in-depth source (ISG, not WP:VG/RS but seems reliable). It's a bit uncommon that top games don't get covered, but not unheard of. There simply isn't enough material and references to write a proper article; one review and mentions in a top game lists are not enough. Bottomline is that this fails the WP:GNG by not having multiple reliable in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. Other mobile game sites such as http://www.myiphonebestapps.com/content/bike-race-free-review] etc. are all not reliable. I admit there are many, but it's simply that they grab all the top games to "review". This is just one of the many cases where being popular does not equal notable at this time. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
