Anthony, I see you have some move history experience with ACS UTA Bătrâna Doamnă Arad there was a request brought up over at requested moves regarding the article naming, however the requested user is now blocked for disruptive editing. Since you have some history with this article, perhaps you can address this request, and identify if it has any merit. Tiggerjay (talk) 17:24, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Reformation and art

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion
  • Undiscussed move from The Reformation and art, which he then launched an RM on, as too vague. This is the same editor who did a load of undiscussed moves messing with "St/Saint Foo" place and church names a while back, if that came your way. Please restore; the RM can run its course, but the existing title should not be hobbled in advance. Thanks! Johnbod (talk) 03:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Portobuffolè → Portobuffolé – we're 3 agreeing and 1 opposing after 2 weeks, an admin is needed to move pages entitled "Portobuffolè" to "Portobuffolé" both in English and in all other languages Wikis, please could you do it Anthony Appleyard? 151.20.91.148 (talk) 09:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

  • @151.20.91.148:   Done, in the English Wikipedia. However, I am an admin in the English Wikipedia only, not in any other wikipedias. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:06, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for moving the page! Do you know anyone I can ask for the other Wikis? 151.20.91.148 (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • @151.20.91.148: I have looked through these foreign language pages linked to from en:Portobuffolé. In some the name is neither Portobuffolè nor Portobuffolé but a foreign alphabet transcription (e.g. Պորտոբուֆոլե (Armenian), Портобуффоле (Kazakh), 波尔托布福尔埃 (Chinese)). In some the name is Portobuffolé already. In one the page had been recently cut-and-paste moved. In some there are other complications. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:41, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
  • OK, so the only remaining pages are: nl.wikipedia (the admin who started all this senseless mess was Dutch, better not awaking the sleeping dog or the mess may restart); fr.wikipedia (the page can't be created but by admins); lmo.wikipedia (a Lombard admins was required to move it when he has time); ro.wikipedia (as above, I think); hu.wikipedia & pl.wikipedia (edits must be reviewed, as in German Wiki where you've already moved the page, thanks for that). 151.20.91.148 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
    • The admin who started all this senseless mess is not exactly known for her senselessness but rather for her impressive anti-vandalism record and dealing with POV, especially cross-wiki POV. ErikvanB (talk) 16:17, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
      • So, thank to me, it's been discovered a new, hidden side of him (her?)! 151.20.91.148 (talk) 16:24, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, I'm a user from ptwiki. I can't see we had a consensus here to move the page (only two supports and one probably by a sock). There are many evidences that the correct name is Portobuffolè, including their official page on Facebook and the italian article. I think this movement may be reviewed. - Editeur ? 17:08, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I well know you, Editeur.
And your attempt to stultify the agreement obtained here is paltry.
The evidence that the only correct form is "Portobuffolé" with acute accent is proven not only here, here and here (if you had read the talk, you wouldn't have spoken about (your) "evidences"), but also in the state archive, in an official resolution and in the famous Treccani, while in the municipal statute, which you consider the most reliable since it's the official site, you find "Portobuffole'" with apostrophe (!!!) an the beginning, "Portobuffolè" in Article 1 and "Portobuffolé" in Article 2.
You're not Italian, you don't know the confusion about accents we Italians make, the correct pronunce of "Genova" is "Gènova" even if all local inhabitants say "Génova", so the correct spelling of "Portobuffolé" has acute accent even if Venetians say "Portobufołè", again you should have read the whole talk where such problems are explained, for example that in your very Facebook page you can find "perchè", wrong spelling and Northern pronunciation of "perché", and even "Portobuffole'" with apostrophe (and it's not the only word where an apostrophe substitutes an accent, you're free to check); last but not least, it.wikipedia is NOT a source for en.wikipedia, since Wiki encyclopedia is NOT a source for itself, and thanks for pointing out that also the page in it.wikipedia must be moved since it's got the wrong spelling.
All this can be reassumed in 1 single word: sit. 151.20.91.148 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Anthony, I won't answer this IP, because it is your talk page, not its. In English and even in Portuguese we have several dialects for which country or region that speak those languages, and it makes lots of discussion for what title is correct or not. I don't know well what politics you have here on enwiki, but on ptwiki all variants are considered correct, and we respect the first entry title. Italian may not be different, and when I say that the italian article is still with Portobuffelè title, that means they didn't make anything to change it, once they are native speakers and they know better then us. This IP is making changes cross wiki and was reverted many times. That's why we have to make a consistent consensus to change the title or not. I really would like you give me an answer, because this subject is very important not only for the english wiki, but for all them. Thanks. - Editeur ? 17:20, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
  • @L'editeur and 151.20.91.148: And for more variety of name in foreign Wikipedias, there are Portus Buvoledi (Latin), Portobufołè (Veneto = Venetian). I suspect that the spelling Portobuffole' with apostrophe is a typist's makeshift used instead of an accent and would not have developed if the document was handwritten. As an admin, I better stay neutral. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:07, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Anthony Appleyard: a Dutch admin (the one I told you about at the beginning), without asking anything to anyone and against the consensus we had in the talk page, has moved back the page to the uncorrect name. I've already reported him in the noticeboard because he's moved a lot of pages all around the Wikis, including the English one. Do you think you can move it back at least this to its correct name (Portobuffolé), since he acted arbitrarily on his own decision, please? 151.20.91.148 (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! I think now this will be just about nl.wikipedia (and maybe pt.wikipedia), not English Wiki where there's a consensus, and actually I'm not caring any more about those Dutch hinnies if they want to keep a wrong spelling. 151.20.91.148 (talk) 11:09, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
The issue is solved: also the Portuguese admin has admitted he was wrong and the Dutch won't change the name on the other Wikis! There's only a last page, except the Dutch, witch has to be renamed: the German one. Can you do me a last favour? Rename the German page to "Portobuffolé" as you did some days ago, please, then I won't have to disturb you any more. 151.20.91.148 (talk) 19:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Just for your information: The German WP has de:Portobuffolè. --Tusculum (talk) 16:19, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
We agreed to move also the German article at the end :-) 151.20.10.173 (talk) 17:40, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Polish constitutional crisis

  • Polish Constitutional Court crisis, 2015 Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:24, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
  • High, you just removed the "technical move" request for the article above. Did you understand the problem? Volunteer Marek moved the page without a prior discussion per WP:RM, no adequate discussion, no adequate timeframe, closing the "discussion" on the talk page as an involved editor after 32 hours, though WP:RMCI requires at least 7 days and clearly states that an involved editor is not supposed to close the discussion at all(WP:RMNAC). The result of the current WP:RM is for sure "no consensus" (currently 3:3), thus the "new", un-discussed title, which was just pushed trough in violation of the basic rules of WP:RM will stay. This is a blatant case of WP:GAMING. HerkusMonte (talk) 11:55, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
  • PS.: Does WP:TITLECHANGES ("Changing one controversial title to another without a discussion that leads to consensus is strongly discouraged....) actually matter? HerkusMonte (talk) 12:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Will you please stop it with the forum shopping and canvassing? Volunteer Marek (talk) 15:06, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
I'm sorry too, but what am I supposed to do about it? Such a clear violation of WP:RM and nobody cares. I already brought the issue to WP:ANI, where I was told that I should take it to WP:DRN, which is absurd, because it's obviously not a content dispute. Is WP:IGNOREALLRULES really what it's all about here? A move is "strongly discouraged", but that's just hot air. HerkusMonte (talk) 17:37, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I think that when the move of Crelan–Euphony to Landbouwkrediet–Colnago happened, becuase no redirect was left, all the original redirects has no target, but it was a move rather than a deletion, so please could you restore:

Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Please note that I reverted your move of the page Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016. It is standard practice to include the election year in a campaign article because it helps to identify which election a particular campaign refers. To leave it blank causes confusion. What election is this campaign for? 2000? 2004? 2008? 2012? There are many different possibilities. --William S. Saturn (talk) 22:54, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Moved back

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Anthony,

As the admin who moved it, I just wanted to let you know that I moved Tony DeFries back to Tony Defries. I've seen both spellings in reputable newspapers, but more importantly, his LinkedIn account uses the latter spelling. True, I can't verify that the LinkedIn is actually his, but it seems like a reasonable enough source until such a time as a better one can be found. The edit history appears to be intact and the former name now redirects to the latter.

Cheers, GentlemanGhost (converse) 01:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! I will notify them as well. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 22:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Filming revolution

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 

A tag has been placed on Filming revolution requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

CSD question

Latest comment: 8 years ago9 comments3 people in discussion

Hi Anthony! Yesterday this user page was nominated for CSD under the G11 criteria. I declined it as I didn't see anything "unambiguously promotional" there. Within hours the same user nominated it under CSD U5 (for "blatant misuse") upon which you deleted it. I still don't see how the page met that criteria, or any criteria, for speedy deletion. The English wasn't fantastic, but two speedy deletion notifications on their talk page for a single note that essentially says "I'm Bob from Detroit, born from a family of lawyers, and part of the local clergy" seems awfully bitey. What do you think?--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:31, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

I know which page it was, the link was just malformed in my message above. What I don't see is how the page was a "blatant misuse" of his userpage. It appears to be new user adding their name, provenance and work to their user page, which falls under WP:UPYES. The CSD template itself states "Note that plausible drafts, pages adhering to WP:UPYES, and résumé-style pages are not eligible under this criterion". How is this much different from the Bob example I provided above? It's not a huge deal, but I do believe the deletion was out of process. The single sentence on their userpage, which contained nothing offensive or contrary to policy, was nominated for deletion within two minutes of them creating it, then renominated and deleted shortly after I declined the deletion. That's bitey indeed. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:57, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
PS I hope I'm not coming off as hostile, it's not my intention. I was just surprised when I saw it was deleted as a CSD U5 when there was nothing objectionable about the page. I'm always open to differing view points, it's how we learn! --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 00:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
  • @Ponyo: Its (currently deleted) edit history is:-
    • 01:11, 27 January 2016 . . BoxOfChickens (126 bytes) (Requesting speedy deletion (CSD U5). (Twinkle))
    • 22:07, 26 January 2016 . . Ponyo (99 bytes) (decline CSD - I don't see anything "unambiguously promotional" about this user page)

I don't understand why you're showing me this, I know the edit history and it shows exactly what I described above (i.e. a new user creating an unobjectionable user page which is inexplicably tagged for CSD G11 within 2 minutes of creation, declined by me, retagged for CSD U5 and deleted by you). What I am asking is how does this page meet CSD U5 criteria as being "blatant misuse" of the user page contrary to WP:UPYES. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 17:10, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Imagine how my husband feels; he has to deal with me every single day :) --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 00:08, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ponyo: lol. What a conversation. You know, Anthony Appleyard probably didn't realise you too were an admin, and was thus providing the deleted information. He works like a machine, sanctioning all sorts of moves and deletions on user request without giving them much thought, and reversing them as easily, again on user request. Many people come up with lengthy explanations here as to why a move he performed was inappropriate, probably expecting him to explain himself. But AA's reply would consist of nothing apart from a ping and a {{done}} tag (indicating that he has undid whatever was being opposed). He is my favourite admin (see #Move request above - I very much doubt if any AfC reviewer would have allowed those two drafts to be mainspaced.) 103.6.159.80 (talk) 17:02, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Cleanify

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
  • Hi Anthony, I am wondering why you deleted the Cleanify page I created. The page stated facts about the organization and didn't contain any promotional language. One of the complaints about the page from a previous admin was that the page didn't have enough citations, so I added 7 citations including 2 from TechCrunch. I would like to get started on creating a page that meets your standards. Would you be able to tell me what I can change to make the content on that page meet your standards? My goal is to create a page similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmates or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber_(company). Any input from you is appreciated.

You have reverted a move, without consensus!

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Can you explain please why have you reverted the move The X-Files (TV Season 10) back to Miniseries despite consensus reached in the talk page for the opposite?

First of all, you have done the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_X-Files_%28miniseries%29&type=revision&diff=703725150&oldid=703671657 At the request of a user User:Wikipedical who said in his faulty comment "Still being discussed on talk page, edit summary for move cited false consensus. Should be reverted until consensus is determined from discussion."

The user Wikipedical claims that the "move was undiscusssed" which is not true. The move has already been discussed, and you can check the talk page here: Talk:The_X-Files_(miniseries) (under the section "Requested move 27 January 2016") and you can see that not only it was discussed in a period of half a month, but also a wide consensus has already been reached (not false consensus as Wikipedical falsely claims, but 8 users in favor of move, with only 3 users against, with one of the participants changing his vote from Oppose to Support as result of our discussion here, and thus, reaching consensus), and the result of the consensus was to move the page from Miniseries to The X-Files (TV Season 10). Please revert your revert, and suggest to the user Wikipedical that he checks his facts better before claiming that the move request was undiscussed or unsupported, and that he can open up a discussion in the Talk Page if he disagrees with the particular move (who, from what it seems, he hasn't done so far). Thank you. -- SILENTRESIDENT (talk) 13:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear Anthony Appleyard, we are urging you to correct your mistake and to comply with Wikipedia's rules and with the community agreed in the Talk page's where a consensus has been reached. Please revert the name The X-Files (miniseries) back to The X-Files (TV Season 10), as the page move goes against consensus and I hope you correct your edits asap. If you do not, I may consider reporting this case to another Administrator or to the Administrator's noticeboard. -- SILENTRESIDENT (talk) 21:05, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Dear Anthony Appleyard, my apologies, you can ignore my above comments as they are no longer holding - there is a discussion in the following page: [1] and I discovered that the discussion of the Move Request should have been decided and done by someone else and not by the person who started it (me). I hope you have a good day. -- SILENTRESIDENT (talk) 01:29, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
Can you move Draft:Concepts of Physics and Draft:ALLEN Career Institute to the mainspace? I have completed the two drafts. The former has 2 reliable sources (3, if counting the blog); while the latter has at least 4 reliable non-primary sources.

Hi Anthony, can you reconsider your speedy deletion of this page under G4. From what I could tell (although I could be wrong) the page wasn't just a identical unimproved copy, although granted every article about a rugby league club will look similar. The original deletion discussion also mainly concerned itself with the issue of what was the primary topic and not the notability of the topic, and the project page wasn't notified which meant that there were no subject matter experts involved in the discussion.

Can you merge the histories of Portland Steel and Portland Thunder. Someone made a completely new article for the team's name change instead of just moving the page to Steel. There is also Portland AFL Team, which someone made after they thought the team was a completely new franchise and not just changing names.

Kooga Redirect

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The reason why I am contacting yourself is because we have been alerted by our clients Kooga Rugby, who are concerned that when you search for 'Kooga Rugby' on the internet, the wikipedia page that appears is actually for BLK as they have put a redirect on their page.

We would like to question this as BLK only hold the rights to Kooga in Australia. Therefore the generic 'Kooga' redirect is directing ALL traffic to BLK's wikipedia and this is as major concern.

We are currently working on an Encyclopaedic page for Kooga which will go live in the next month. However we are concerned that even when this page is published all Kooga traffic will still go to the BLK. Can you look into this matter and see how this can be resolved.

Thank you

Deep web (search) to Deep web move

Latest comment: 8 years ago10 comments3 people in discussion

Hi there

You just moved Deep web (search) to Deep web however the topic is controversial and there no consensus. Could you revert please? Deku-shrub (talk) 21:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Appreciated :) Deku-shrub (talk) 22:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm having trouble determining the order of things. There was a discussion at Talk:Deep web (search) about the move that looks to have been closed as moved (one oppose based on an unsubstantiated claim that it's not the primary topic, and the other a procedural objection that the disambiguation move wasn't included in the proposal). Then it was moved, then it was unmoved but the disambiguation page is still at the awkward Deep Web (disambiguation) (why capitalized W?) and the most important page is just deleted (Deep web). If the move was done based on a claim that it's uncontroversial, a glance at the talk page should've revealed that there was in fact a discussion under way (or, depending on the timeline, a discussion that had just been closed), but the move was ultimately correct based on that discussion. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 02:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

What are you doing? There was already a move request. It was closed. The person who closed it, Tbhotch, listed it under "uncontroversial technical requests". I think that in general the person closing a move discussion should be the one to move it, but as the discussion was already closed, I get why Tbhotch listed it under uncontroversial. Regardless, even if it's inappropriate to list in that section, the link to the discussion is linked in the move request that appears in that permalink. So there should've been no confusion. Anybody moving the page based on a rationale of "per RM" linking to a discussion should've looked at that first -- or at least before undoing the move. Now notified of that discussion, instead of adhering to it, you're starting a new one (??). This is not a problem of conflicting move requests; it's a problem of weird choice of closing technique and mover that totally ignored that discussion. The only reason you got someone contesting the move -- someone who participated in that discussion -- is because it was done as "uncontroversial".
This seems very straightforward. There was a discussion. It closed with a particular result. It needs to be implemented, not started over. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:25, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
  • The deep web is not a searching device, as the name "Deep web (search)" seems to imply to me, but a way to avoid public searching. I have received 2 contradictory related move requests recently. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
  • I know what the deep web is. It's not a way to avoid public searching, it's just what is not available to search. But why does it matter, unless you're supervoting? Why does it matter what move requests you've received? There was a proposed move. The discussion lasted for a month. At the end, it was closed with consensus to move. You moved it, but both you and the closer made a mistake by calling it uncontroversial. Deku-shrub exploited that mistake by saying it is controversial, and you undid the move that was the outcome of a discussion -- not actually a technical move request.
  • To fix it, please (1) close the new move request (2) move Deep web (search) to Deep web per the discussion that is now closed. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:52, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

WP:FIXDABLINKS

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Anthony, I know you contribute a lot to Wikipedia and I hate to sound critical, but I really wish you would give some attention to WP:FIXDABLINKS before carrying out move requests like Naat. If a user asks to move a page to a different title, and to create a disambiguation page in its place, you could create a temporary redirect from the new title to the old one, and politely ask them to fix the incoming links before proceeding to carry out the move. Otherwise, you end up adding a lot of new work for other editors to do. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:14, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

  • I have retargeted the title as a redirect to the poetry form, which is internationally important, and is the clear primary topic of the term. Disambiguating this is the equivalent of making hymn or psalm into a disambiguation page. The village is minor and obscure, and the scientific term is distinguished by being all caps. This was an ill-considered disambiguation. bd2412 T 15:00, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Template:Globalize_section irregularity

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I believe Template talk:Globalize section#Requested move 21 March 2016 should be procedurally closed as out-of-process. Philg88 simply recused himself from performing the technical move – he says so on his talk page [6]. The move was not a personal request to move a page to name the requested desired, but SOP completing of valid, uncontested close. After discussion [same permalink as above], Philg88 made the move himself. So, a back-to-back second RM was created for something that was a recusal not a challenge, mooted further by action in support of the move, and the proper procedure for challenging a valid close would have been WP:MR anyway.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  07:00, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

I procedurally closed it, since Philg88 ended up making the move after all, which renders the second RM thread open on that page moot.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  17:39, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes, no, black, white

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello! I noticed that you have speedily deleted the Yes, no, black, white game article using the CSD A11 criteria, which is "Article about a subject obviously invented by article creator or associate, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject". I'd like to know why would it be a "subject obviously invented by article creator or associate"? Do I appear to have invented a game that has Google hits in multiple languages and on multiple unrelated sites or do I appear to have affiliations with the radio station Class FM? If you took the time to Google the names provided in the article, you could see that this game exists. Notability of the game is another question, but notability never warranted speedy deletion, and as there are multiple poorly sourced, OR-ridden articles or stubs about pen-and-paper, spoken and other "party games" (for ex.: hangman, dots and race game), not all particularly popular in Anglophone countries or in the US (thus not having articles about them contributing to systemic bias), I feel the speedy deletion was unwarranted. I would have contested it, but I was sleeping and it was deleted overnight... I'll provide links to prove the game is not "my invention" (not necessarily RS), as I have literally no connection whatsoever to the following materials:

  • Origins Online: [13] (showing arguably US variant)
  • Games-Stream: [14] (calling it a "social game")
  • Homo Ludens: [15] (identifying a variant of the game as "folk game", collected by Katalin Lázár in Népi Játékgyűjtemény i.e. "Folk Game Collection", published by the Musicology Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences)
  • Homo Ludens: [16] (identifying a "scout" variant of the game, collected by Lázár in Népi Játékgyűjtemény, collection date here given as 1957)
  • KefKefKef: [17] (introducing fixed rules about a "Not for Novices" variant)
  • Zsúrjátékok.hu: [18] (includes a set of rules, categorizing the game as a "dexterity game" and a "funny game")
  • Yahoo! Answers question: [19]
  • Udvardicserkész.sk: [20] (calling it a "camp game", "cserkész" itself means scout)
  • Gyakorikérdések.hu: [21] (Hungarian site similar to Y!A), and aforementioned "scout" variant: [22]
  • on Frihost Forums: [23] (with one poster identifying a variant as an "Interview game. Silly it was, it used to be on the Dutch radio here.. people called in (...)")

Other links showing cultural significance:

Since I believe that the aforemented batch of sources establish or at very least indicate the international presence and importance of the game in at least the Anglosphere, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and Israel, and as I believe that presenting these sources qualifies as a "credible claim of significance" as per established speedy deletion norms (as detailed at WP:CCS), I'd ask for the restoration of the Yes, no, black, white article so it could have a chance of being reliably sourced as much as it is possible, improving Wikipedia's coverage of widely played games.
