Landslide (board game)

Advertising. Also, no evidence presented indicating any notability. Google search for landslide exakly yields only 20 hits. Delete. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:06, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: Your search criteria actually include "ezakly", a name from the publisher's website, not "exakly", in case someone questions your Google results based on that or thinks it's "exactly". Barno 20:20, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Agree: it's advertising. Delete. --Plainsong 00:11, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I think. There was also a Parker Brothers game with the same name, which is not totally unremembered: for a game from 1974, there are enough comments on boardgamegeek.com to make it encyclopedic. I edited the article: added Parker Brothers game, and removed the advertising. Eugene van der Pijll 19:11, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Weak weak keep for EvdP's revised article, mainly for the sake of disambiguation. WP is not a gamers' guide. The new game by that name has not yet established notability sufficient for WP's purposes, and its info link is advertising. I doubt that the new game (with dice controlling movement around a one-lane track like Monopoly) will ever be as good a game as Campaign Trail or some other election games. From a small publisher, it probably won't become more famous or influential than a thousand other boardgames. The 1971 game wasn't influential except by virtue of Parker Brothers distribution getting it into many stores. It isn't nearly as well-known as contemporary PB and Milton Bradley games such as Stratego or The Game Of Life, and it never spawned a play-by-mail or tournament hobby as did Diplomacy.

• Keep for the edited article. The PB game may not have been a mega-hit, but it certainly was not obscure in its day. Shimmin 00:35, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
