ROBLOX has grown a lot more than I thought... It turns out there are 80,421 places with more than 750,000 place visits, 25,159 with more than ten million place visits, 7994 places with more than twenty-five million, 2274 with more than fifty million, and 549 with more than a hundred million. We have 485 articles about places right now. If we were as strict as we were in 2013, the place visit requirement would be a hundred millions.

Raising the place visit requirement to a hundred million place visits would be very unpopular. However, considering more than 80,000 places as notable doesn't make any sense. I know at most about a hundred ROBLOX games. This means that, if we kept the requirement at 750,000 place visits, there would be at least 80,000 "notable" games that I, and probably most editors on this wiki, have never heard about.

What's more, right now even Ultimate Paintball, which is undoubtedly a notable game, has less than five million place visits. There are 42,245 places with more place visits than Ultimate Paintball, yet very few are actually more notable! Favorites seem to be a better way to measure notability as far as older games and even newer ones are concerned, but they're hard to calculate for players.

If nobody has a brilliant idea to fix this, we're going to be left with a choice between a largely unsuitable and arbitrary requirement which will either be lax or unpopular, and "notability is at the discretion of the administrator deleting a page", which would result either in endless painful disputes or in articles never getting deleted.

I'm waiting for everyone's brilliant ideas...
