Not notable. No independent sources cited. Attention on facebook, blogs, etc, but no reliable sources. The article says "It has recently been recognized on Sky news" but gives no citation for that claim, and what does "recognized" mean? Does it mean it has been briefly mentioned in passing? That it has been given substantial coverage? Merely asserting that it has been "recognized" without clarification or verifiable citation tells us nothing.

Keep– The article needs to incorporate the following sources: CNN, Fox News, BBC, plus more. Please give the article more than a day, especially since it's the author's first article. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 16:34, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- An AfD normally runs for a week, which does give more than a day. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but a talk page like this is discouraging. There's three separate deletion messages about the same article. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 13:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete – Per Tetron76 (see below). There's already a Lying down game article, and the content of the duplicate isn't worth incorporating into the original article. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 17:28, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve.While I agree that the article currently looks pretty lame and undersourced, Michaeldsuarez' findings demonstrate the wisdom of WP:BEFORE: simple Google News searches demonstrate coverage in multiple RS.

- Comment I don't agree that those few brief mentions of rather minor events constitute substantial coverage. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete it would pass notability but seems to be the same as Lying down game.Tetron76 (talk) 17:20, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
