 * Delete this, but suggest making this title a redirect to Joke, which is where Why did the chicken cross the road? redirects to. Smerdis of Tlön 14:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete then recreate as redirect to Joke, per Smerdis of Tlön. Saberwyn - 21:06, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Asked to revisit. Although available worldwide, has to be ordered through a small number of websites. No 'real-world' sales points internationally, and none in the handful of random United States I checked. 14,700 Google hits for "Why did the chicken...?" game -"cross the", of which 330 are unique, and after the first page or two it degenerates into forum posts and vaiants of the "Why did the chicken do this? gag. No change in vote. Saberwyn - 20:24, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's just not an online game, it's a commericially available game and world-wide available as indicated here. It does need de-spamming, though. - Mgm|(talk) 12:39, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Availability doesn't translate into notability, however. It needs to be deleted so someone can provide a spam-free version of the article if the game's notability can be objectively demonstrated.  B.Wind 17:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
