Fuck, Marry, Kill
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article has had tags for citation for notability for over 18 months and it doesn't seem to have improved at all. I see no attempt at resources beyond societal satire, and the result is no notability since things are happy left with a citation needed tag. A mention on a few "shock value" media programs isn't going to cut it. Ironically, a mention in The Onion is as close to a "reasonable" source here to show its worth, but it's only a mention in the caption of a fake photograph. Oh, and even after that all I suppose we'd need verification(?!) of it all. Fun. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 10:00, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nominator's comment: Apparently this had an AfD more than 5 years ago? Huh. Seems to have been no consensus, with reasons for keep peaking at "children's folklore" similar to "rock, paper, scissors". Okay. The article doesn't even mention that. Well, it is as you see before you. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 10:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - a basic Google search returns nothing but hits to varous personal blogs and forums. While these clearly show that the game exists, I don't think they are enough to establish notablility.  There are no sources that talk about the game.  A Google News search gives no results. Blueboar (talk) 16:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete 2 of the 3 refs provided dont have any content related to this game. i also could not find any significant mention on google outside urban dic, etc. wed probably need a published survey of teens/preteens and their current games, along the lines of "lore and language of schoolchildren" by the opies.

 * Indeed. Since I have no idea how AfD worked 5+ years ago I'll just assume it was an experiment at the time. One I'm very glad has been improved significantly since. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 01:26, 22 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, clearly has widespread currency, referenced or played on television and radio shows, etc. Everyking (talk) 05:55, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or Incubate I'm pretty confident that this game is well-known enough in society that notability can be establish. As it is the article fails WP:V, however. Therefore, I suggest that the article should be moved to the Article Incubator so references can be located – that is, if the consensus here is not to keep the article.
