1: not notable, 2: original research, 3: overcategorization


 * The article has no reliable sources to base it upon. It has not demonstrated that it is notable. The article cites no resources. There are a few different games like this one that would all make legitimate articles, though. Randomran (talk) 06:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge - I suggest merging the article with Breakout clones. SharkD (talk) 05:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're curious (and wish to establish notability), Here is a machine translation of the Japanese Wikipedia article on the subject. Here is a machine translation of the Amazon.com page for one of the sources cited in the article. Here is the homepage for the author of the second source (I'm not sure exactly which book is being referenced). Here and here are search results for ブロック崩し (about 857,000 hits). Note, the latter link, a poorer translation, returns the "literal" meaning cited in the article. This Google search results in several articles that explicitely call "breakout clones" a "genre". This one should pretty well satisfy your notability requirements. Finally, overcategorization applies to categories. This is an article. SharkD (talk) 05:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per SharkD and the article itself. There's no evidence this term possesses notable currency outside Japan. I don't fully accept arguments for standalone genrefication, but that doesn't really matter here. D. Brodale (talk) 05:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and merged the relevant text into Breakout clones. All that's left to do is change Block kuzushi into a redirect. (I'll leave that for someone else to do.) SharkD (talk) 06:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Support merge, redirect As they're just variations on the same theme, Breakout clones makes a good genre article which can hopefully be built up.Someone another 15:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per above, or simply redirect, as there doesn't appear to be much here that would actually help the reader understand Breakout clones better. Dekimasu よ! 01:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
