Eat Poop You Cat

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable game. The website being used as a reference directs to this Wikipedia page. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 05:33, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I see no reliable sources, unfortunately. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge THere are a couple sources and knowledge of this interesting party game shouldn't be lost to the world. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ChildofMidnight: If they would be Reliable sources, would you mind showing us these sources? Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 20:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Newby, Peter (1995). The Giant Book of Word Games: The Bumper Book of Ingenious and Enjoyable Games for all Occasions. The Book Company. p. 42-43. ISBN 1863091726. 2) Games Quarterly #11 (Winter 2006), pg 64. It also has its own website eatpoopucat-dot-com as well as a Facebook group. But for some crazy reason that's not considered evidence of notability. :) Could also possible be merged to whisper down the alley/ telephone (game)? ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:42, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Facebook groups can be started by anyone, and anyone can put up a website. The places to go are secondary sources, like the two books. So, regarding these sources, from Notability
 * Make sure both sources address the subject in detail.
 * Make sure the books are published by reputable publishing companies
 * If there are specific people credited with making the game, make sure that the books come from another individual (although having a publisher may count towards that)
 * It may help to reproduce scans of the pages, if you have them (Put on a photograph repository site) to show that they address the subject in detail.
 * Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 06:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Compromise: redirect to new page: Telephone Pictionary. My vote is keep. I propose also a compromise, which may be irrelevant, as no one has mentioned that the title is...challenging? By which I mean that it includes a reference to feces, synonyms of which are considered by some 'curse' or 'swear' words. There is certainly a rich vein of alternative page titles that could be used, listed in the article itself. Anarchangel (talk) 11:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
