Slide to Play

There is no evidence of notability. Of the thirty references, 26 are to Slide to Play's own web site; two are to the web site of gotoats, which is jointly set up by the publishers of Slide to Play and another business; the other two are pages at uk.gamespot.com, where Slide to Play is mentioned only in the "comments" section, which is effectively an open forum. (In addition, in one of those two pages, the mention of Slide to Play is introduced by the sentences "Hey everyone. My name's Steve Palley, and I'm the founder of Slide To Play.")

Note: The article has been proposed for deletion and deleted in the past. The author of the article requested undeletion, saying (amongst other things) "It was an expired PROD, for having failed WP:WEB and WP:RS. I'd like to address both." However, they have made no attempt at all to address either. Their only edits in the 14 months since undeletion have been removing an external link to Slide to play's web site, and twice removing a {{Cleanup-spam}} tag. By no stretch of the imagination was that an attempt to address the reasons for deletion. More recently the article has been PRODDED again, but I declined the PROD because of the previous one. The reason given for the first PROD was "Fails WP:WEB Fails WP:RS", and for the second one "Not notable, every "source" links to the site being advertised here, and it's maintained by one of the site's editors."
