This is a non-notable Facebook application. Please see the other two discussions for details.

- Weak Delete as a non-notable game. With the proliferation of facebook apps, it's the rare one that's actually going to be both notable and verifiable by reliable sources. While I do see one source, it's a campus correspondent column. I'm not really convinced that this alone establishes notability (or does so in combination with popularity), but I'm moving down to a weak delete. --Bfigura (talk) 22:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Bfigura (talk) 04:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Two million users isn't nothing, though - and there's that Gainesville Sun article about it and its status as a craze. What're your opinions on that, folks? Also - what other two discussions? --Kizor 11:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- On an entirely separate matter, It's dismaying that the editor who nominated this article - which is not something that should be done lightly - didn't bother to use copypaste. But that's manners, not relevant to the article. --Kizor 11:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep it has the numbers and a source on its side. User:Krator (t c) 14:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep I see some RS coverage but if it's the same, should it be G4? TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 14:44, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - "this number is big" is not a rationale for notability. Game is clearly non-notable, and regardless of popularity cannot sustain its own article. - Chardish (talk) 17:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete - popularity can help establish notability. but if nobody has written an article about it, it doesn't pass the basic notability test. someone's gonna have to find some reliable, reputable third party sources that talk about this game. otherwise, the current references don't cut it and the game should be deleted.

- Delete, or merge to a list of Facebook applications or something. Stifle (talk) 20:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete again and salt if needs be. Popularity is not notability, the single source presented contains enough detail to allow Jetman to be mentioned briefly in a facebook-related article, like a sentence or two, but multiple reviews are needed for reception in a standalone article. The only other potential source I can find is this, from what seems to be a marketing company see their 'about us' page. Someoneanother 10:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
