Is this particular chess set notable, as opposed to others, perhaps? Peter O. (Talk) 23:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This has a not insignificant Google presence. The question is whether it has been the subject of multiple non-trivial written sources who are independent of the subject. I did not find any. Almost all the sites I look at are selling or promoting the set. The article's only source, Money Week’s interview with Michael Acton Smith, is only a peripheral mention and, as the creator of the set, he is not an independent third party. Thus, no apparent notability substantiated through reliable sources.--Fuhghettaboutit 23:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge Merge with Shot glass. The problem with drinking games is always sources... I wish there was 3rd parties that could back up the claim. I would post my own view saying this game is real and does exist and is played... but that is all WP:OR and wouldn't help with sources. How do marginally successful drinking games get cited anyway?

- Delete - not only is it not a noteworthy "gameset," the picture is most likely a copyvio as it has been circulating about the Internet as a joke picture for the past four years. B.Wind 02:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
