Elevator game

Strangest page I can remember coming across. Looks like an editor came across some random nonsense on a blog, misread it, then wrote an article about it. Thought about CSD-G3, but I guess the blogs indicate that someone, somewhere thinks that this is a thing. In short - no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.

 * Delete. I suppose there's enough to dodge the G3 bullet. But in any case, when the best referencing the topic has is Thought Catalog (accepts open contributions, permits fictional contributions, no editorial oversight whatsoever), and even THAT deems it obscure, I think it's safe to say that notability is out of reach. And that doesn't even address the nonsense grammar issues. So maybe it could earn that coveted G3 speedy after all? Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:34, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, it may be worth pointing out that the article's original founding edit had a very different lead text to the one it current has. It may only add a miniscule amount of additional credibility though and the sources aren't exactly suitable in my view. I think it's unwise to judge the article on the poorly edited version of the current lead, although I don't think the article stands up to scrutiny regardless.

 * Delete – This actually exists as an urban legend, as evidenced by coverage in Bustle and Evening Times, but not finding significant coverage to meet the bar of WP:GNG. North America1000 00:37, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
