Analog Game Studies is a good source, the others seem like definitions or brief mentions in the middle of talking about something else. Usually one solid source is still not enough to merit a full page. Therefore I am still not "convinced", though I will admit there is a non zero amount of coverage

coverage is sufficient to meet WP:N and we have more than just a dictionary definition. I could see a broader article on this plus related things such as RAW and RAI (as mentioned above).

While you may enjoy the article, personal preference doesn't factor into AfDs, only evidence that a full article can be created based on the idea of "rules lawyering". 241: 171: 245: 36: 66: 270:. come on, this is the stuff we come to Knowledge (XXG) for. Suppose it could be merged somewhere; would support that if appropriate placement is identified. 81: 237: 588: 494: 61: 54: 17: 498: 107: 102: 573: 556: 521: 503: 466: 445: 415: 400: 332: 311: 297: 279: 261: 229: 111: 75: 71: 192: 94: 159: 320: 217: 543:
which discuss two sides of the same coin. A list is a better place for this, since a standalone article is borderline
138: 544: 209: 346:
The article as it is now, although short, already has some content which would not fit into a dictionary. And a
220:, but that one is more in a legal context than a gaming one, and not exactly well-sourced or stable in itself. 490: 427:

I’m satisfied what’s there shows it can. Tell me where you would merge it.

all have about a page of content, including commentary. And the journal
