Fails WP:GNG. There does not appear to be any direct indepth secondary coverage. While several sources used here would be good at Roblox, they only give Jailbreak a passing mention when discussing things such as developers learning the industry, the monetization of Roblox, etc. Redirect was contested on the basis of "We need this", "It's popular" and arguments that Wikia was too biased so Wikipedia must have this. -- ferret (talk) 21:04, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, not notable. No in-depth coverage of this gamemode. I remember playing Jailbreak, and it's boring. wumbolo ^^^ 21:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Roblox#Legacy. All I can find in a WP:BEFORE search are just trivial mentions and fansites, which can't be used to establish notability. Fails WP:GNG but is mentioned on the Roblox page with a source, so I'd support keeping it as a redirect.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 22:12, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As a note, I added the mention in Roblox in response to a user who RfD the article immediately after I redirected it on the basis of "no mention". I felt RfD'ing a fresh redirect was a little... off. Either way, we're here now. -- ferret (talk) 22:20, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not particularly likely search term for a redirect either, with that disambiguation. Sergecross73 msg me 22:32, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Side note, but isn't this the same type of gamemode that is also played in Garry's Mod? I don't really see a redirect being valid in that case. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:03, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Roblox#Legacy, where the topic is covered in adequate depth. JOE BRO 64 11:25, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Also, the title sounds odd for a platform whose article isn't that indepth either. --Walk Like an Egyptian (talk) 01:55, 30 November 2018 (UTC), edited 22:35, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think we should keep this article because jailbreak is a very popular game within roblox and try to get some more reliable sources. --Slenderman7676 (talk) 9:58 AM, 01 December 2018 (GMT)

You have to demonstrate that such sources exist. The fact that it is popular does not make it notable on Wikipedia. -- ferret (talk) 15:27, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thats not a valid reason unless/until you provide evidence of reliable sources existing. Sergecross73 msg me 19:41, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Popular does not mean notable in Wikipedia. See WP:NOTABLE. Oshawott 12 ==()== Talk to me! 10:51, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Only indirect sources used, so delete should be a good solution. Oshawott 12 ==()== Talk to me! 10:51, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. There are better ways to showcase ROBLOX games. This is not one of them, as this goes in lightly, and there are not going to be many sources. I've played this myself as well, and it doesn't have anything notable. A better alternative is to create an article that showcases notable ROBLOX games. say what (talk) 19:52, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. While there is discussion on the roblox talk page for making wikipedia pages for roblox games with more than 1 million visits (jailbreak has two billion visits and generally around 10,000 concurrent players), Jailbreak itself is not mentioned significantly in publications. A more suitable project would be another page, such as pokemon brick bronze, which received a large amount of attention and was even taken down by nintendo, but had its page deleted on the grounds of the wikipedia article being abandoned.
