A search for published (gBooks) references did not find support for this article as written, fails WP:N and WP:V. Prod removed with comment "ridiculous prod removed" No references added to support WP:N or WP:V. Article is about a binary-determination logic puzzle published by Nikoli.

 * Keep I don't know what "search for published (gBooks) references did not find support for this article as written" is even supposed to mean. Is gBooks a reference to Google Books? Is that a claim that only the English language books that Google happens to have searchable text copies of count as reliable sources? That's just wrong on so many different levels.

 * Per Notability "Wikipedia:Notability|Wikipedia covers notable topics—those that have been "noticed" to a significant degree by independent sources. A topic is deemed appropriate for inclusion if it complies with WP:NOT and has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Notability does not directly affect the content of articles, but only their existence." JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 11:56, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I don't doubt that the puzzle exists,a nd that we can verify the puzzle play with primary sources. What is missing is any sort of coverage from independent reliable sources to distinguish this puzzle as a notable one. -- Whpq (talk) 16:46, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - It appears that the puzzle does exist, but other then WP:ITEXISTS there is no notability. - Pmedema (talk) 16:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
