Unreferenced board game article, BGG has no reviews and even no forum posts about this niche product. I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies)'s section for products requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." PROD was removed by User:Andrew Davidson with no useful rationale, so here we go. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:24, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Given it's a well-known publisher, I'd prefer a redirect, but other than to the publisher, which doesn't make a lot of sense, I don't know where to. There is no list article for Parker Brothers games (though there likely should be). If no redirect target can be found, then delete. Hobit (talk) 15:04, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• It actually is already included on the List of Hasbro games#M, as Hasbro became the parent company of the Parker Brothers brand after buying them out in 1991 (which was coincidentally the same year this game was published). Would that work as a viable Redirect target? Rorshacma (talk) 01:33, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• yep! Hobit (talk) 02:31, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me as well, and SOFDELETE is always preferable in such cases. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:13, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And so, once again, a Piotrus Prod is found to be invalid because there's a sensible alternative to deletion. See WP:BEFORE. See also WP:NOTCLEANUP. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:45, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep if more sources can be found, otherwise merge to List of Hasbro games per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 22:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:NOTPAPER, WP:PRESERVE and WP:BEFORE. While the Hasbro list article, being a list, is not a viable option for a merge, at the very least it could function as the target of a redirect. StonyBrook (talk) 21:25, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. While the article has been expanded, most of the content remains unreferenced, and the added sources are either mentions in passing (Orlando Sentinel) or unreliable (BGG, Youtube). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:17, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect as suggested above. I'm not convinced there are enough reliable secondary sources to justify an article. Pawnkingthree (talk) 21:43, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
