I am having little luck confirming notability of this. The article does not pass WP:RS or WP:V, and it may fall into WP:NEO realm, too. Can anyone confirm its notability? Ecoleetage (talk) 00:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment if you follow the external link for the lyrics, the web poage also states: a game called “Zudie-O” in Step It Down, their book on African American games, plays, songs, and stories from the Georgia Sea Isles (The University of Georgia Press, 1972, pages 137-138). If, as is asserted, it's the same game, that's one source from a University Publisher, which should meet the RS level. Now, is there a second source out there? If so, and the possible versions of the game are discussed, maybe its notable enough. MadScot (talk) 01:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * While [youtube] isn't usually a reference, a small child performing 'a song she learned in school' would have to be a component of an impressive hoax. I'd say it's real. Now, notable enough???MadScot (talk) 01:37, 18 September 2008 (UTC) PS also found numerous blogs and similar referring to this song, not RS of course. May also be known as 'Zodiac'
 * I found the text of the book you cited online here: . But beyond one-and-a-half pages in that book, I am not able to locate any confirmation that such a song/game exists, let alone enjoys urban popularity. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The university press book including it is enough. The book is actually a republication of a 1972 Harper book. Republication by such a press is a good indication of reliability. The book is widely known, being held in over 1000 libraries according to WorldCat. . The authors, Bessie Jones is a well known traditional singer, and & Bess Lomax Hawes is a well-known folklore researcher.  Such traditional games are of course hard to source, but I'd consider this authoritative. DGG (talk) 16:51, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep DGG makes a strong case that the one ref is good enough. More would be nice, but this will do. I now vote. MadScot (talk) 01:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
