  • Keep - not every Facebook game is notable, but this one certainly is - it won a Webby Award, and has attracted significant coverage from reliable sources, as evidenced by the references already in the article, or by e.g. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1935113,00.html this] or [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/07/AR2009040702240.html this].

  • Keep - plenty of coverage from reliable independent sources, as pointed above.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 15:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep - Nominator doesn't really advance any rationale for deletion. The references already in the article at the time of nomination establish notabiulity. -- Whpq (talk) 15:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep While I agree that the majority of online games aren't notable, Mafia Wars certainly is. Besides winning a Webby (for those who care about that), it's gotten significant coverage: [http://www.homemediamagazine.com/product-news/universal-touts-success-public-enemies-cross-promotion-with-mafia-wars-game-18122][http://www.tgdaily.com/consumer-electronics/45458-facebooks-mafia-wars-is-sort-of-a-compulsive-disorder], among others.

  • Keep Sounds like an I don't like it nom. The overwhelming popularity of the game and sources go beyond any personal feelings about the game, the notability is secured. Nate • (chatter) 00:31, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
