- Delete (speedily, if poss) - To quote the article, "The Wikipedia Game was originally created by students at school pretending to do work." If that doesn't show that it was made up one day, I don't know what does. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 10:28, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - surprised that the article is still here, surely speedy delete was appropriate. Snow delete anyone? Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The article was tagged for speedy deletion under G3: Vandalism. But even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. Also, creating a page on a topic that is simply not notable is not vandalism." After a declined prod, AfD was the only option. decltype (talk) 10:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Was the speedy only declined because the reason was wrong? What about the prod? It seems a long-winded way to delete an article that's obviously going to get deleted.....Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No, as far as I know, none of the criteria for speedy deletion apply to this kind of article. The author of the article contested the prod by simply removing the prod tag. decltype (talk) 11:05, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Numerous pages with similar content to this one have been deleted in the past as non-notable - for instance, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia game, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia games, et. al. This one is no different. Zetawoof(ζ) 11:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
