Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Games

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Games: board, card, etc. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Games|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Games: board, card, etc. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Fails WP:GNG. This card game has two supposedly independent sources ([1], [2]) but the two sources have oddly similar content and are both promotional, indicating that one or both are churnalism. I wouldn't be surprised if both sources were run through an AI paraphraser.

Here is a comparison of one paragraph from each source that illustrates how similar they are:

Ourculturemag: Importantly, Cagoga does not attempt to offer cure or closure. Instead, it offers recognition. It makes space for empathy and shared experience. It reminds players that healing is nonlinear, unpredictable, and often frustrating—but also that recovery can be approached with community, creativity, and even fun.

Made in Shoreditch: Ultimately, Cagoga does not claim to cure or resolve the complexities of concussion. Instead, it creates space for recognition and empathy. By weaving together bright art, strategic mechanics, and moments of humour, the game captures the paradox of recovery: nonlinear, frustrating, yet also filled with possibility.

Don't delete. There are several other places that cite the game. I'll link them now. Editor7mil (talk) 14:23, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

These additional sources are an event announcement [3], a trivial mention in a library's inventory [4], and a brief listicle entry that repeats the game's Kickstarter and states little is shared about how the game plays [5], neither of which are significant independent coverage that would count towards WP:GNG.

Delete per lack of good sources, per nom, and per WP:Orphan CabinetCavers (talk) 16:24, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Waiting on Editor7mil to provide additional sources. Right now I have doubts as to the reliability of Made in Shoreditch, which describes no editorial process ("one of the leading creative online publications in London covering the sparkles of Innovation & Creativity in Arts & Culture | Tech & Startups | Fashion & Style | Dining & Nightlife in London and around the world.") and Our Culture states that they will produce sponsored posts but it isn't clear how those are indicated on the page (it doesn't look like they are at all). No editorial process is described either. -- Reconrabbit 14:33, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
