*'''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.[[User:Noroton|Noroton]] 19:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Comment''' Surely there's a source for these variations on a popular game. Aren't there any websites for the International Scrabble League and similar things? If all else fails, look at the inside of the box top. [[User:Mandsford|Mandsford]] 19:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC) |

- Scrabble variants (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
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)
