Talk:Brain Strainers

Notability and OR

I have edited the page to demonstrate its notability within the genre of music video games as being one of the earliest games to employ pitch-based gameplay. I believe it is the earliest, but this claim will of course require citations. As far as the OR-tag is concerned I have removed it since there was no indication in talk as to which lines were considered OR. If OR is a concern, a more appropriate technique might be to add {{cn}} tags to lines in need of verification. Most stubs I have seen are considered adequately referenced with three or fewer citations. This article has three. Nevertheless I have left the request for more references intact in the hope that more references will be added. Thanks for your contributions. -Thibbs (talk) 18:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I tagged for notability concerns because I think the sources mentioned do not establish notability. The GameSpot page is a trivial mention, the vgmuseum page — being nothing but pictures — demonstrates nothing on notability either, and fansites like the atari2600.com site are not considered reliable in terms of establishing notability. With nothing there that I would consider to be verifiable via reliable secondary sources, I concluded that you might have been adding original research as opposed to facts drawn from verifiable secondary sources. Perhaps there are print sources that can establish notability of this game? (with that said, I will re-add the tag but do nothing further at this time) MuZemike (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll try to locate sources for the lines you've tagged. -Thibbs (talk) 18:47, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
