Scrabble variants

The page is a harbor for people to post their own home-grown Scrabble variations that are original research and have not been reported upon independently. Anything that is notable has its own article already. Andy Saunders 17:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this would be better served by a category, [[Category:Scrabble_tile_games]]? meshach 17:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't have an opinion yet, and the nominator has a point, but I'm sympathetic to the article: Scrabble is clearly one of the most popular games in the world, so it's natural that there are variants. Some variants themselves may not be notable, so they might not be worthy of their own articles, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't cover them at all. I notice that multiple editors have contributed, that we've got images here and there are actually some references. It seems to me that if even two of these variants have some notability (and that's the case), then it seems fair to say that variants of Scrabble have notability as a whole. Perhaps the contributors can add some references/footnotes, and then we'd be able to better judge whether this was stuff made up at home or not. I'll ask them.Noroton 19:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
