Department of Fun/Word Association/Hardcore Ultra


Out of all the Word Association variants, this one crashed and burned like a white hot Blue Falcon falling off the track and into a building. The rest of the new variants are successful, so those should be kept. Although, Adamantine association may also need to be clipped if it doesn't go to Round 2 in a month or so.

 * Question. What would be the benefit to the project in deleting this page? Thryduulf (talk) 10:30, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Answer. To cull a variant that failed to catch on, so Word Associators can play more successful ones. James1011R (talk, contribs) 10:41, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Is there any evidence that the existence of this page is preventing them doing that? Thryduulf (talk) 10:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, no. But this WA's idea was flawed. James1011R (talk, contribs) 11:02, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * So basically you just don't like it? Thryduulf (talk) 12:15, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment If it failed, why not just remove it from the template and mark inactive? SnowFire (talk) 19:01, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan. James1011R (talk, contribs) 21:29, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Looking at the editing history of all the games, this one doesn't seem to be significantly out of step with the activity of the other grid games over the past ~18 months. Why do you say this particular one has failed? Thryduulf (talk) 22:58, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It has never hit game 2, unlike all the other grid games except Adamantine (EG and Flatline are going especially well). James1011R (talk, contribs) 02:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - There are game sites for a reason, "Fun" or not I see no point in this even being here, That said I even find "Wikipedia Adventures" to be utterly pointless. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  08:31, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts Wikipedia Adventure is helpful to those learning to edit here, On the other hand IMHO I don't think this is helpful at all. – Davey 2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 19:59, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Department of Fun/Word Association, for reasons people have given for keeping Word Association articles in general. Bosstopher (talk) 20:59, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep Page has shown partcipation since being nominated for deletion. Bosstopher (talk) 19:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is not helping build the encyclopedia. Spumuq (talk) 09:32, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * In the MfD discussion for Word Association games in general(which resulted in a keep), where editors have detailed how playing the word association game has helped them improve articles they otherwise wouldnt have noticed. This specific nomination was made with the purpose of deleting a version of Word Association that is unpopular and rarely played, rather than being for the purpose of removing word assocation games altogether. That would probably require a second group MfD nomination. Bosstopher (talk) 22:27, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
