Tap (gaming)

Per WP:NOTDICTIONARY, it's literally just a dictionary definition and a few examples. There is Glossary of video game terms for this. Does not seem independently notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:17, 10 April 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 21:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'm not overly familiar with the topic, but is the term "tap" only officially used with Magic, with other card games that use the same style of gameplay using their own terms for it? That is the impression I am getting from the current article, at least. If that is the case, then a redirect to Magic: The Gathering rules might be the best bet. The suggested Glossary of video game terms would not really be appropriate in this case, as this is a Collectible card game term, not a video game term. Rorshacma (talk) 16:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to collectible card game. Wikipedia is WP:NOTDICTIONARY and the best way to cover this is in the context of the style of game where it comes up. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:17, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * redirect Actually, with the related patent and coverage of it maybe there is enough to get an article? Or maybe we could get a "standard mechanics of CCGs" article?   But for now, I think Shooterwalker is correct even if that merge target isn't ideal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hobit (talk • contribs) 19:30, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the entry on Wiktionary . It has an entry there already, refs might be merged but I don't think the details in the article are appappropriate for a merge.  // Timothy :: talk  04:38, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to collectible card game. Wikipedia is WP:NOTDICTIONARY I believe Shooterwalker has the best suggestion. Equine-man (talk) 10:57, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect for now, GNG does not appear to be met. I wonder if we need a glossary of board game terms? PS. To be clear, I think this term may be used in board games (card games) other than CCGs too. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
