Jinx (children's game)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced since 2008. Only source is someone's webcomic. Completely unable to find any sources that aren't regurgitation of this article. I know this exists, but can't find sources of it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:33, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: I've found three sources in various psych journals/books, as well as a book source in general. This is pretty frustrating since this is one of those things that is widely commented on in various books (over 80% of the hits in GBooks are for fictional and biographical books) but not entirely referenced in many things we coudl really use as a reliable source.

 * Keep per Tokyogirl79's findings. I added a couple external links, as well, though I'm also finding that most mentions (in GBooks, especially) are in fictional books and otherwise non-"reliable" sources. Still, there appears to be enough written about the game, in my view, to support an article. Heck, if it's good enough for Stink-O-Pedia, it's good enough for me. ;)  Gong   show  04:56, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per additional links/references. Jinx is a very common children's game, in the US at least. --Jeremy Butler 18:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
