Wikirace
What is really the point of this? It's filled with spam links and violates WP:NOTGAMEHOST and the fact that Wikipedia is not at all a race. Usb10 Connected? 16:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It does, however, provide an example to point to when people falsely claim, yet again, to have invented this same thing in school one day. And the game, in contrast to many others (such as, for example, the people who want to abuse Wikipedia as a free hosting service for fake reality television shows and suchlike), is directly related to Wikipedia and indirectly related to building the web and finding unexplored areas for working upon.

 * It's been around since 2005 and was mentioned here. It's got a heck of a lot of mentions on google. If this was an article I would say those facts weren't enough, but for a community project page it seems more than enough to indicate some level of community "importance". So unless it's actually causing harm I don't think we should delete it. -- Ned Scott 05:51, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. It has educational value.  It can help newcomers learn the power and limitations of navigational aids.  It is a simple game that doesn't produce gaming material, and which editors will naturally move on from once they've learned the principles.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:55, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
