Cafe World

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems like a non-notable game just in Facebook, good sources hard to find through press releases and stuff. Also, correct title with accent Café World has been salted already. fetchcomms☛ 23:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Zynga as a plausible search term, however I couldn't find any reliable coverage for this game. --Teancum (talk) 11:53, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Why is this even up for AFD? Just redirect it and get it over with. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:32, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a notable game especially among Facebook users, and the article needs to be improved to assert notability, by introducing sources and related collateral. Reyrefran (talk) 17:08, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment - No reliable sources were found in order to assert notability. If you can find any, please add them immediately (this is the last day for this AfD). Also, simply saying "its notable" is not sufficient. --Teancum (talk) 11:46, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Last time I checked Zynga's own web site (www.zynga.com) claimed this is their third most popular game on facebook, but I'm not sure if Zynga's web site would be considered a reliable source or if the number of users stated there for this is enough to assert notability.

Redirect to Zynga These games are popular, having millions of users, and sources around the phenomenon or the companies are certainly out there. There's a making of article here on Venture Beat, which could be used as part of Zynga's history. The problem with this game and most of the others like it is that no fucker is interested in actually approaching it as a game and reviewing it, instead you get small posts here and there touting the number of users like high scores. Until games journalism does eventually catch up with releases that don't come in boxes or on platforms like PSN and Steam, obviously relevant releases like this will continue to lack the sourcing needed for a balanced article.
