Article was created after a hoax that stated that the subject was shutting down was solved. I don’t see any notability per se, as it’s just one of many web-game portals. The page also has a few MOS violations that I’m currently working on fixing but I still don’t see why this needs a article in the first place.

Keep. Sources in the article, including Newsweek (with a short but focused article on the topic) are probably enough. There are even some academic studies which appear to have looked at this (not at work so I can't see the entire articles) such as "Understanding the relationships between interest in online math games and academic performance". It's not way over the bar, but it's notable. Hobit (talk) 00:28, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as of summer 2017, it was still active and used by the NYC DOE, when I last taught math. As of June 2019, it was still available online to students, although discouraged by educators. Bearian (talk) 21:21, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In November 2019, Popular Mechanics listed it as one of its 50 most important websites since the internet was founded. [1]. Britishfinance (talk) 20:37, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources in the article, including Newsweek and Popular Mechanics. Meets our general notability guidline Wm335td (talk) 20:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
