- And yet (deprecated template usage) Tetris passed. Equinox ◑ 19:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- Feh. talk:Tetris shows one editor obsessed with encyclopedic importance of the game, a mystery man playing his cards close to his chest, a citer who doesn't know what attributive nouns are, and one who implies that WT:BRAND doesn't count if he doesn't recognize a brand. I'll relist it shortly. —Michael Z. 2010-04-07 22:10 z
- Hm, perhaps this falls under WT:BRAND? --Yair rand 20:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- WT:BRAND sounds right. I found this in google books: "I twirl back toward the rear wall, where there's the jukebox and some guy playing Asteroids. " Polarpanda 21:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hm, perhaps this falls under WT:BRAND? --Yair rand 20:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- WT:BRAND seems to talk about "a Mazda", "a Ford" (etc.). Pretty sure you can't say "some Asteroids", so it looks like a certain fail. Just delete it. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- You mean like "I went into the living room and got out the Atari to play some Asteroids"? Polarpanda 19:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oddly enough the rules on brand names seems very lax. But since this is a specific entry, I guess it needs attributive citations. Looks like a very high percentage of brand names would pass under this. Including every make of car ever. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:57, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- "I watched some (any TV show). I drank some (any brand of drink)." We can't include things purely on that basis! Equinox ◑ 11:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's not the point. Mglovesfun was saying if you can't say that, it would be a certain fail. Polarpanda 19:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

RFV discussion[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
RFDed, but the consensus was to apply WT:BRAND, so I'm bringing it here hereby.—msh210℠ 15:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
