I don't think that makes sense.— 75.40.252.177 ( talk) 23:21, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm nominating this for a POV-Check. This entry looks and reads like a PR promotional mouthpiece rather than an encyclopedia article. Yes, the puffery is mostly attributed but there's a real shortage of encyclopedic material relative to all the acclaim. Compare it to an entry for one of the most renowned game designers John D. Carmack, creator of the Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake series. The current entry has near-zero biography. Why not a game-ography grid like other game designers' entries instead of a resume-like list of 'notable games'? Let Wikipedians decide if each game in the grid is notable enough to earn its own entry (and if her role in its development is notable, e.g. "In 2010, McGonigal worked on Evoke" vs. "she served as the Community Lead/Puzzle Designer for I Love Bees"). There should be more encyclopedic material here. The article should have biography. It should have a section on her views/philosophy. (Also, the photo uploader appears to have been the article's subject herself, Avantgame.) Note that I am not the first editor to raise this issue. PYRSMIS 21:38, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
I tend to agree. I hate to say this so directly, but I feel that if she was a white male, no one would consider her anything special (or worthy of a wikipedia entry). But oh wow, it's a blonde woman, she must be super-smart and cool, let's create a cheerleading page for her. Note that I am choosing to express this *opinion* on the *talk* page, because this is my opinion, but I've run & sold 2 successful startups, I know a thing or two on the subject. I also have 4 daughters and feel that women are grossly under-represented in tech, so don't get me wrong, but I just think that the bar should be the same for men & women, and I feel that JM hasn't done accomplished anything so noteworthy as to warrant her own page. Just my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.137.17 ( talk) 00:03, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Jane McGonigal was on TED Talk 2012-07: The game that can give you 10 extra years of life, with some personal accounts. Perhaps this can used as a source. -- Mortense ( talk) 05:07, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
An article about the book is not notable enough for its own article, but might fit well inside the article about the author. Osarius - Want a chat? 20:12, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Concur. This book, while a good book, does not merit it's own article per notability guidelines, and would be better suited as a section of her published works (Games included). 38.97.88.20 ( talk) 15:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
