List of newspapers featuring Sudoku

 * ''Renamed to Sudoku by country

Totally unmanagable list, not helpful. Listing every newspaper that features Sudoku is like listing every newspaper that features crosswords or a chess section. If this was a rare specialist puzzle found only in select publications then maybe. But this is a mass market everyone can do type of puzzle which is found absolutely everywhere. - Hahnch e n 15:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as listcruft. Not at all maintainable. -- Whpq 16:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Should have been deleted last year when it became hopelessly unmanageable. Cool Hand Luke 17:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. As much as I use the word listcruft, I hate doing so, but it is clearly an apropos assessment of this article. -- Kinu  t /c  19:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but restrict to the first major newspaper in each country. Kappa 20:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. What good would that do? You are just proposing to shorten the article? Read WP:LC and you'll see why this page should be outright deleted. -- Nish kid 64 21:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That would enable it to show how sudoku spread around the world while answering the objections in the nomination. Please don't insult me by directing me to read WP:LC. Kappa 22:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If you wish to explain the increasing popularity of Sudoku, you should do so in a paragraph or two in the main article. There is no need for maintaining this cumbersome list.  Lazybum 06:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Note: The article was renamed  to Sudoku by country at this point.  Kappa 15:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. At one point this seemed like a good idea for an article, but Sudoku has become so common in newspapers that the article is no longer needed. --Metropolitan90 02:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
