Notakto (app)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

App implementation of an existing tic-tac-toe variant that fails WP:NSOFTWARE with no strong secondary sources, only blog reviews. The Children's Book and Media Review does not seem to be a significant review source. As WP:NSOFTWARE says, "Wikipedia is not a directory of all apps that can be confirmed to exist."

 * Delete Thats an insignificant tic-tac-toe app for mobiles. WP seems to be flooded with articles about small apps. This one fails WP:PRODUCT generally and WP:NVIDEOGAMES/WP:NSOFTWARE specifically outright. It gets some mentions on non-RS but thats basically it. It is just a a run-of-the mill app of which 1000s exist. The refs in the article is basically everything which already can be found about this game/app; so I will just go through them:
 * Themagiccafe is a forum post; boardgamegeek is a no-RS. AppAnnie is just a download directory, Advances in losing is a wordpress blog, gmiapps is a download repository. The only actual source is Childrens book and media review, but I have strong doubts about whether this is a RS. It also just 9 sentences so its definitely not enough for WP:GNG. That leaves us with this paper. The app has been mentioned in this pretty obscure paper, but I don't think that this single mention there is enough to make it over the WP:GNG threshhold. There aren't any other RS which talk about this app I therefore think the article should be deleted. Dead Mary (talk) 09:38, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The paper is written by Thane Plambeck and Greg Whitehead, the founders of the company who made the app, so this fails WP:RS as not being independent of the subject. --ad (talk) 09:55, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks! Well I guess that further strengthens the argument that no RS for this app/game per WP:GNG exists. Dead Mary (talk) 09:37, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
