F's and g's

A tic-tac-toe variant invented by some bored college students, and unknown outside of their circle of friends. Doesn't deserve a mention in tic tac toe, let alone its own article. — Gwalla | Talk 05:46, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, no made-up stuff. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c ] 06:59, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Sounds like an interesting game, but there's no evidence for use outside their circle of friends. Mgm|^(talk) 08:20, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete based on author's remarks on talk page. Gazpacho 08:51, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable game, also the element of mathematical functions is superficial at best. — JIP | Talk 10:43, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless it is documented by a reference that the game is known by a larger group of people. --Niels Ø 08:07, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
• It's kinda interesting... amusing actually. I don't want to vote for deletion just yet... perhaps it could be merged to some "Math Game" catagory? Weak Keep. Linuxbeak 14:43, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • comment: I have invented interesting games myself (or so I think), but they do not belong in an encyclopedia (yet?). It is not a mathematical game any more than tic-tac-toe; actually less, in a sense: The use of coordinate axes and function notation is not math, it's obfuscation.--Niels Ø 10:29, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • comment: surley thats the point, by making it more confusing you are making tic tak toe more challenging and by extension more interesting.
• delete -- gee, does this mean I can add the dozens of boardgame variants I invented with my friends? No? Then this can't be here either! Master Thief Garrett 02:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• KeepSeems like a perfectly acceptable alternative game of tic-tac-toe. As there are variants to chess, why not T3... unsigned vote by 201.129.225.217 (talk · contribs)
  • comment: The chess variants we have articles for are generally well established. This is not, and is in fact unverifiable. — Gwalla | Talk 06:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. If it were original research, then probably delete (sadly), but insufficient evidence that it's original research, so until solid evidence is given keep.

• Keep i've played it and it is very good. Also it does state at the beginnig that it is a tic tac toe variant, i see no reason to remove.
