Does all Facebook games derserve an article? This game is small, insignificant, and does not meet the general Notability guidelines. -- Tyw7 ( Talk • Contributions) Changing the world one edit at a time! 06:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC) reply

This is a pretty simple contest. I am trying to win a grant for a dog rescue and need votes for my dog, Oso. Read all about it here:
Anyway, to drum up more support for the voting, I am starting a contest. So for every 25 votes Oso receives, I will give away 25K in gold. All you have to do is vote, and say you voted on this thread. That's it.
How will I determine a winner? Well, if it is, say, 2 p.m. and he has 50 votes (he already has over 25), the person closest to posting a "I voted" comment will win the 25,000 gold. Simple? Ready? OK, vote here: http://mvp.bissell.com/mvp_PetDetail.aspx?id=8589956282
Thanks for playing and voting!

Do all high-voltage power line towers deserve an article? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbe_crossing_1 . The difference between the article I have provided and the article being lumped together for deletion is that the latter is both more well-known and with a few edits to preserve neutrality, will be as significant as the former. 198.166.35.81 ( talk) 01:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC) reply
Keep - more than enough significant independent coverage to demonstrate notability. The Star article is dedicated to this one game which it covers in considerable detail, and the Washington Post article also includes significant coverage, in addition to the two TV items.
I would, however, question the author's decision to move the article about the 1997 film MouseHunt to
MouseHunt (film) in order to make way for this article. I can see why it makes sense, since the more recent subject may be the one for which more readers search, and it avoids difficult decisions as to what to call the new article (e.g. MouseHunt (game) or MouseHunt (Facebook application) etc), but is the Facebook game more notable than the film, and does it matter whether it is or not? I'm probably being completely irrational here, but moving older articles like this strikes me as a bit like pushing into a queue in front of those who have been there longer.
