F's and g's

A tic-tac-toe variant invented by some bored college students, and unknown outside of their circle of friends. Doesn't deserve a mention in tic tac toe, let alone its own article. — Gwalla | Talk 05:46, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Sounds like an interesting game, but there's no evidence for use outside their circle of friends. Mgm|^(talk) 08:20, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
Delete based on author's remarks on talk page. Gazpacho 08:51, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, non-notable game, also the element of mathematical functions is superficial at best. — JIP | Talk 10:43, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless it is documented by a reference that the game is known by a larger group of people. --Niels Ø 08:07, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
It's kinda interesting... amusing actually. I don't want to vote for deletion just yet... perhaps it could be merged to some "Math Game" catagory? Weak Keep. Linuxbeak 14:43, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
- comment: I have invented interesting games myself (or so I think), but they do not belong in an encyclopedia (yet?). It is not a mathematical game any more than tic-tac-toe; actually less, in a sense: The use of coordinate axes and function notation is not math, it's obfuscation.--Niels Ø 10:29, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- comment: surley thats the point, by making it more confusing you are making tic tak toe more challenging and by extension more interesting.
delete -- gee, does this mean I can add the dozens of boardgame variants I invented with my friends? No? Then this can't be here either! Master Thief Garrett 02:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
KeepSeems like a perfectly acceptable alternative game of tic-tac-toe. As there are variants to chess, why not T3... unsigned vote by 201.129.225.217 (talk · contribs)
- comment: The chess variants we have articles for are generally well established. This is not, and is in fact unverifiable. — Gwalla | Talk 06:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. If it were original research, then probably delete (sadly), but insufficient evidence that it's original research, so until solid evidence is given keep.

Keep i've played it and it is very good. Also it does state at the beginnig that it is a tic tac toe variant, i see no reason to remove.
