That infamous game

The following text is based on a past version of WP:NFT [1], and additional versions of the game are being added as they are identified.

Often, while looking for things to do, people at school come up with a Wikipedia-related game that has already been invented:

Variants of this game generally consist of challenges or competitions in which the goal is to click links from page to page so as to arrive at a particular page using the fewest possible links. As you can see, we already have this idea covered in the project namespace. We've deleted it from the article namespace numerous times:

Speedy deletion nomination of Daniel Farnworth

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Daniel Farnworth requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. TrapShooterPageCreator (talk) 02:13, 28 February 2010 (UTC) There have been claims that the game was invented in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and possibly other countries. In some cases different people have been identified as inventing the game under the same name in different versions of the same article. In any event, please take note: this game has already been invented.
