Hard to say for sure it's notable enough. The article seems to be written with only The Powder Toy in mind. There are no recent, reliable sources, and none of the sources given are in what would be considered "mainstream" media. For the record, I do like falling-sand games, but I know that doesn't mean anything as far as Wikipedia is concerned.  flarn 2006  [u t c] time: 04:59, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention: the only sources cited are under the "examples" section as examples of falling-sand games; everything else seems like original research.  flarn 2006  [u t c] time: 05:02, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Very weak keep per sources in previous AfD (of which several are in the article). Majority needs to be pruned and/or rewritten, though. Ansh666 19:30, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BEFORE. Notability is conferred by multiple RSes. The article currently has a few and there appear to be more available online. This article should be improved, not deleted. -Thibbs (talk) 11:02, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. We do not require that sources be "recent". Notability is established; a serious scrubbing is needed but AfD is not for cleanup. - The Bushranger One ping only 15:25, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
