[edit] Cambok

The decision was to Delete --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 13:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC) Tagged as a hoax, only hits on Google refer to this page. Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 01:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Clear joke, and in the unlikely event that it's true, it doesn't give any indication of notability. -Elmer Clark 02:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: Well, there is no official policy on notability, but WP:V is an official policy on English Wikipedia. And with all due respects, I have to disagree with your statement by stating that this article is a clear joke. For instance, please view this website. Notice that the footnotes at the end of this page contains some credible sources on this subject as well. However, I am not sure if it is WP:RS. Moreover, the first sentence of this article states that the game was invented by a certain Addkq Dääd, which I feel is likely to be an untrue statement. Perhaps a major re-write of this article is required here. And let me add that the nominator's statement is incorrect. Google shows about 300 hits for this term and quite a number of them refers to different websites on this topic. Further research have to be done here before making a conclusive decision about this article. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 03:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable.-Kmaguir1 03:02, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Please note that the game of cambok as described on website is substantially different than the one described in this Wikipedia article. I do not dispute that there is a game called "cambok" that exists/existed, but I don't think it relates at all to the version of cambok presented in this article. I cannot find a link to anything similar to this article that doesn't reference this exact same Wikipedia article as their source. At any rate, by the author's own admission, the sport "is not very popular", which, if I understand the guidelines correctly, is not acceptable, anyway. Am I correct in my assumption? I'm new here and just getting the hang of the processes involved with major editing/deletion, so please forgive me if I've stepped on any toes. Mutableye 05:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

  Comment Then, is it possible to completely rewrite this article? However, on second thoughts, this article which is in Wikipedia is a hoax! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 17:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, obvious hoax. Invented by "Addkq Dääd". JIP | Talk 11:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, hoax. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 13:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete The contents in this article is a complete hoax upon further research. However, once this article is deleted, re-creating the page with a completely different content is the most appropriate course of action here. Cambok certainly could be verified given the number of websites dedicated to this sport. But the sport in question is definitely not notable. The current content, however, warrants a total deletion. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 17:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
