It's almost 100% unsourced, and the notability is certainly not reflective of the article length. Jasper Deng (talk) 22:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game-related deletion discussions.  • Gene93k (talk) 00:56, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I found these sources:
 * 3 reviews for JumpStart Pet Rescue
 * 7 reviews for JumpStart Escape From Adventure Island
 * CNet Editor's review of JumpStart World 2nd Grade
 * TopTenReviews JumpStart 2011 review (I haven't heard of this site, but it's in the videogames RS search)
 * JumpStart Toddlers and JumpStart Babies synopsis at allgame
 * JumpStart Music and JumpStart Typing reviews at allgame
 * The "Jump Ahead" branding fairs less well: They are listed at allgame and metacritic but do not appear to have been reviewed anywhere. Nevertheless, I think there's enough here for a series overview article. Marasmusine (talk) 09:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Without digging too much, search gets reliable source hits. Certainly past the point of WP:GNG. Not that the article couldn't do with a little cleanup, but that's not the AfD's job. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

 Strong Keep The article needs a lot of work, but the jumpstart series is has been and is still used an a large number of schools in the US (or at least in VA), and has been around since I was a kid in the early 90's. Definitely noteworthy. --Djohns21 (talk) 00:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It might be that it would make a better list of software than an article but I see collective notability based on the above sources. Someoneanother 17:38, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources found above establish notability. If the article is 100% unreferenced, how about fixing it?. You've got about 10+ to work with now.  Agent Vodello OK, Let's Party, Darling! 21:52, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
