Completely unsourced, non-notable topic about a pricing game that appeared on The Price Is Right (U.S. game show) for one month in November 1978. Google search produces zero useful links and no sources other than fansites. Additionally, "telephone game" (no capitalization) redirects to Chinese whispers while only "Telephone Game" (initial caps) links to the article being proposed for deletion. Already adequately covered in List of The Price Is Right pricing games and nomination follows growing trend regarding non-notability of similar pricing game articles.

• Delete - I would normally support a merge of these into the Price is Right article, but this one's too confusing with the more obvious usage, which is the game telephone (never heard it called "chinese whispers" before). What we could do is move this to Telephone (Price is Right game), merge it to Price is Right games, and then redirect Telephone Game to Chinese whispers, but it would be unacceptable to have "Telephone Game" and "Telephone game" redirect to different targets.

• Delete - Per WP:Notability, also I agree this game is already adequately covered in List of The Price Is Right pricing games, no need for it to have its own article.--NavyBlue84 02:27, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
