Article has lacked any sources whatsoever for the several years it has existed, and no reliable third party sources could be found when I search. Clearly fails any notion of verifiability or notability. Steven Walling (talk) 01:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Trim and Merge with Build-A-Bear Workshop, likely notable as it is a published, licensed game for Nintendo DS, but I couldn't find any non-trivial third party coverage for it to stand on its own. -Senseless!... says you, says me 02:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It seems to have won an award [1][2][3], and is a "traditional favorite" for the Nintendo [4]. If that's not convincing, I'd be ok with a merge to Build-A-Bear Workshop — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 05:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There's sources, see Gamerankings' page (some of the reviews listed are undesirable, but the likes of GameZone are good), hands-on preview from GameSpot, piece on pocket gamer. As a general note, if anyone comes across a video game article and is struggling to find reliable sources they are very welcome to bring the video game project's attention to the article, we've got a lot of experience in digging out sources.

- Keep –notability is established quite easily. It could be merged to Build a Bear Workshop to make a more complete article, but as far as this AFD is concerned, deletion is right out. MuZemike 13:05, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As lame as this looks, it's sold over half a million copies, which makes it a substantial hit by video game standards. Lots of professional reviews and other sources. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Clearly notable per above sources. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 20:00, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Someone should probably SNOW close as Keep. Steven Walling (talk) 20:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
