I think this fails WP:GNG - even though there are several sources, most are either primary or fan-run blogs. It looks like there's two non-blog articles which discuss the game (MSN and Fort Worth Star-Telegram) the MSN article simply picked up a Bleacher Report blog post here. The Fort Worth article is also relatively brief. Web searches brought up no additional reliable, secondary, significant coverage. SportingFlyer T· C 05:51, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I think it's silly, but WP:PAULTHINKSITSSILLY is not a reason to delete. It does, strangely enough, pass WP:GNG.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 16:29, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- With which sources? SportingFlyer T· C 17:54, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- The feature article in the Fort Worth Star Telegram works for me, the MSN article appears to now be a busted link but I can extend some good faith on that from

- Just checking they weren't additional sources to the ones I mentioned - the MSN one is still a fan blog so GNG isn't met. I also get the sense this article's better off on a different wiki. SportingFlyer T· C 21:37, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

- Keep The topic has received significant coverage in a reliable source (namely, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram). Therefore, it satisfies the minimum requirements for notability. Mlb96 ( talk) 22:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Our notability requirements specifically require multiple sources. One seven-sentence article isn't enough to pass GNG. SportingFlyer T· C 22:36, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Curious--how many sentences are the minimum?-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 01:04, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Huh? No they don't. The notability guidelines specifically state that "there is no fixed number of sources required" and that multiple sources is merely an expectation, not a requirement. Mlb96 ( talk) 18:48, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not necessarily saying there is a minimum, I just don't know how you can write a reliable encyclopaedia article off the back of one seven-sentence article. The "a single source is okay" argument usually only works for exceptional cases (historical bios, etc.) - common sense dictates this is not one of those cases. SportingFlyer T· C 18:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- I count 13 sentences in the Fort Worth article, not 7.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 00:37, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
