Color or Country

 * — (View AfD)

Article was nominated once, and the discussion focused almost entirely on one group of editors trying to convince another incredulous group of editors that the game actually exists. Nominated again, attracted almost no attention. I would like to renominate the article on the grounds that it is unverifiable. There are no third party sources that discuss this in any non-trivial way. Only a few hundred google hits, most irrelevant, many mirroring wikipedia. I do not doubt this game exists but if the only sources we can find are mentions in posts to a math camp message board, it does not warrant an article. Dmz5 07:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I might add that the unverifiable nature of the article is the root of all its other problems, namely a lot of original research, complete lack of sources that might confirm notability (which I am for the moment not going to challenge), and a general air of WP:NFT which may or may not be the case.--Dmz5 07:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find any reliable secondary sources dealing with this game. --Metropolitan90 07:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. After reading the 2 previous Afd's - it could be a game. Still after all that to have 0 sources says something (unverifiable). feydey 08:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dmz5's well-reasoned nomination. Danny Lilithborne 10:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Smells of WP:NFT. MER-C 11:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mornington Crescent (game). CRGreathouse (t | c) 19:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? Are you advocating it be merged into the "similar games" part at the bottom? That section seems to be getting long enough to split into a list article, but I am still concerned about notability.  --Dmz5 19:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Its unverifiable and, even if it could be verified it doesn't seem notable. Also, as a side note and not as a reason for deletion; if this game is, in fact, real, it has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. --The Way 22:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral -- ah heck, Delete. AfD has come a long way in a year. On this article's first nomination for deletion, there were large numbers of people around who thought "delete because it's stupid" was a valid reason, and I voted keep largely to counter that. (I also cared because I had edited the article.) AfD now is much more focused on well-defined standards of verifiability, which I must admit that Color or Country doesn't meet. I'll be sad to see it go, but it makes sense.  r speer  / ɹəəds ɹ  23:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Echo Rspeer, basically - while I oppose a "delete because I don't know what it is," which was a large part of the previous AfD, I agree with and support a "delete because it can't be verified to Wikipedia standards." Sho Uemura 05:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
