[edit] Selfo
Cannot find any reliable sources for this game, maybe a hoax? VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 02:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. My Gsearch didn't hit anything remotely related to a game named Selfo, so it appears to fail WP:V and therefore also WP:N. No idea if it's a hoax. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 02:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- There's actually a source cited in the article, in a "References" section. It's a paper by a Francisco J. Vico, an associate professor at the University of Málaga, undoubtedly one and the same as Fjvico (talk · contribs). It's not actually a published paper, however. There's nothing at the URL given. Nor is it a peer reviewed journal article. Uncle G (talk) 03:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, no indication that this is a notable board game. Lankiveil (talk) 13:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
- In my opinion, the discussion of whether the description of a newly proposed game is or is not trustworthy is out of context here. The class of games (not just a game, indeed) that I have identified and described in an internal report of Universidad de Málaga is an original contribution to the field of connection games. This fact has been checked by myself. But it is true that it lacks from evidences (so to say) to claim that this proposal is popular enough in the community of strategy games. For this reason, I have decided to delete the article and perform an extra effort of diffusion before actually reporting it in WP. Thanks for your comments. fjvico (talk) 17:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
