Play Magnus

This article fails to comply with Wikipedia notability requirements. Codename Lisa (talk) 09:46, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Plenty of citations confirming notability. The game has the World Chess Champion, Magnus Carlsen's name making it more notable and the app has been downloaded over 1,000,000 times confirming notability.   Codename Lisa is a +tag spammer that tried to get the screen shot of the app used in the article deleted, now the editor is trying get the whole article deleted...shame, shame, shame.

 * Strong Keep: Definite notability, with claims backed up by the linked sources across a sufficiently significant range of media outlets. The sources given are independent of the subject. Magnus Carlsen is significant in his own right, but the game itself is distinct from his actual personality and shouldn't be merged into a section of his article. The article covers a topic that has consistent and continual coverage, evidenced by the number of downloads it has received. Furthermore, the article does not come across as an advert or sales pitch and gives an informative and succinct summary of its subject. Maswimelleu (talk) 10:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources seem available in a variety of reliable and professional sources. &mdash;  O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  11:13, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Per Fortuna. Plenty of sourcing appears to exist. There's some minor issues surrounding this article but AFD is not cleanup. -- ferret (talk) 12:42, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Many available sources out there, simply googling the name of the game on Google News brings up a decent amount.  Please assume good faith,  is not out to get you, someone simply adding cleanup tags or cleaning up an article isn't against the rules. Users are encouraged to edit articles while the AfD tag is on it in order to help the article get kept. You are currently engaged in an edit war, please just take a step back and realise that the article is not yours, and that other users are able to edit it too (this is Wikipedia, after all). It's also one of the pettiest things to argue about, Lisa was literally just cleaning up the infobox to standards. If you've got any questions, feel free to hit up my talk page.
