message: I claim that the :Fourteen Out article is no longer a stub, so I'm arbitrarily picking another card game stub. A second opinion would not be unwelcome. -Stellmach 15:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The current version of the :Mille Bornes article is about half composed of an extensive strategy section, which does not seem to include any references.  So, that's a No Original Research and WP:NOT problem that's unfortunate in the article about such a classic game. -Stellmach 22:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone working on :Diplomacy (board game) seems to have mistaken the article for a web directory, as several parts of the main body are a mess of external links (see WP:External links on this topic, which basically says "don't do that").  The "Other Ways to Play" section is basically just 80% web directory. I've started on cleaning this up, but it looks to be a big chore. -Stellmach 20:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I note there is no article for this game. If no one is planning on writing it up I'd be up for it once I find somewhere other than BGG which even mentions it. Humbersi (talk) 23:47, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I've been working to expand the article on Snakes and Lattes, the most notable board game café in the world, and I believe the only one with its own Wikipedia article. It really needs an image, for at least the main location and preferably both. I'm a complete novice with finding and uploading images - can anyone assist here?

message: Hi I have just completed a rather large update on the Squatter (game) page and have removed the citations required template at the top of the page. Would someone be able to have a look and see if the page now warrants more than a Stub rating? Nestek (talk) 10:52, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

message: I propose to create the page "Board Game Arena", even though it has been deleted and creation locked. We may need to contact admins.
Here are reasons:
# The Board Game Arena site is notable and a very popular board game site (the biggest I think)
# It's on French and Japanese Wikipedias

message: Would it be possible to have formal definitions for things relevant to this group?
# When is a page no longer considered a stub? Is it when it meets the minimum requirements for  the style guidelines?
# What makes a board game page worthy  of retention? The Talk page for GridIron Master says
:Regarding "notability", this article is as notable as many other board game articles under "List of Board Games"... which have not been marked for deletion.
That would lead to a self-referential test. Looking at Wikipedia:Notability I believe a lot of board game articles don't meet the criteria for notability at least as they are currently referenced. Does an entry on Boardgamegeek help? I assume it is not sufficient in of itself. Also many other areas of Wikipedia have their own area specific notability  guidelines. What about boardgames? Note I have no wish to lead to a mass deletion of obscure board game pages, but I suspect their ought to be some minimum standard.
