Keep "AFD is not clean-up" - The subject is serious Game theory, not "messy fancruft". This puzzle features in a Masters degree thesis from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln - [1] - and in class notes from a mathematics course at Stanford University - [2] - as well as various text books and study guides for subjects ranging from economics to psychology - [3] - WP:WikiProject Game theory and WP:WikiProject Mathematics should be notified of this AFD.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep per Dodger67. A bit of searching shows that topic clearly meets GNG. But the article also clearly needs to be cleaned up. The addition of sources would be nice. -Thibbs (talk) 12:30, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- I agree with Dodger67, subject seems to be notable.Ireneshih (talk) 14:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
