While the subject may be notable, the page seems to need nuking from orbit and to be started over again from scratch as it is almost completely copy-and-paste copyvio from beginning to end. The last (barely) acceptable version of the page was back in January 2009, after this point ongoing copy-pasting appears to have started, carrying on and on without anyone noticing.

Comment: may we have a Template:Copypaste on the article with the source of the seemingly copied text? If obvious copypaste, that content should probably be removed before the article even meets its fate (assuming it does), per WP:DCV. LjL (talk) 12:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On it now. Already nuked one section as copyvio. Think this is gonna take a while.... Mabalu (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Killed all the obvious copyvio. If this is saved, then the page history needs wholesale deletion all the way back to 2009.... Mabalu (talk) 13:40, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I've added one book reference, but from a cursory browsing of Google Books hits it seems to me that this game has been well-known for decades and is certainly notable. Much of the article was a copyvio, but that's not ground for deletion of the article itself (at least the parts that aren't). Copyvio content has now been removed and can be dealt with administratively if needed. LjL (talk) 13:53, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This has been listed among video games deletions before but is actually not a video game at all, AFAICS. LjL (talk) 16:04, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
