Piggly Wiggly (Children's game)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD declined without adding  sources or improvement. Unsourced non notable children's game. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:02, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can find no sources or indications of notability. The article itself suggests that it is something that might have just been made up by a small number of people. Interestingly, the article suggests that this is a variation of another game, Squeak Piggy Squeak, which is currently up for prod deletion because it too is non-notable and unsourced.Agent 86 (talk) 10:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

If you all think that this is truly non-notable, then so be it. I haven't the time nor energy to go searching for TV programmes or books, because quite honestly it isn't all that important to me what you lot decide. I admit I am new to the Wikipedia community. I thought you'd be looking for completeness rather than notability, since this is more or less about trying to have the largest database of information available. As for being a "non-notable" game, well hey, I didn't know that there were set rules for what is and isn't allowed to be a game. As far as I knew, most games were simply just made up one day. I can tell you that I did not come up with this, and that I have seen it mentioned and played in many different places. That is all I can give you. Do with it what you will. --BRB1992 (talk) 03:13, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sure that  you  did not  invent  the game, and I'm equally  sure that  you  posted the article in  the very best  of good faith. Wikipedia is indeed the 'encyclopedia anyone can edit',  but  the downside is that  there are a lot of complex rules to  be got  through, and one of them is that  subject  material must  be notable, and reliably sourced. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:39, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

In that case I suppose I'll just leave it to you. I'm sure you're all doing just fine on your own. --BRB1992 (talk) 15:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC) 
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Give it time. This is intriguing. I always like when Wikipedia is able to include folk knowledge. But folk knowledge, especially among kids games, often is slow to be recorded. Maybe within a few weeks, another editor can find an independent reference. There's no COI or harm in this stub, and maybe it can be expanded. Wxidea (talk) 22:35, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I added one link. It's a real game, not a scam. Wxidea (talk) 22:41, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep but rename as Piggly Wiggly (children's game) (ie lower case "c") (or perhaps just "(game)"?) and add hatnote at Piggly Wiggly. Sheer quantity of ghits for "piggly wiggly" and "sleepover" indicates notability in common sense terms, even if OED only knows about the supermarkets. PamD (talk) 23:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Good points. Wxidea (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
