[edit] Old Four

Unverified hoax. Non-notable unused term. Delete Ardenn 19:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete IDK if it is a hoax, but it clearly is a topic not deserving its own article based on subject length and content. ¡Dustimagic! ^(T/C) 19:36, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am looking for more information for reference. The term has been thrown around when I was at Queen's and U of T, but no one seems to know anything about it. I don't want to see this kind of history go into a vault and forgotten about Writerchick 19:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Well, there's this. Looks like it refers to an annual sports tournament among the four universities named. Potentially a keep if we expand on that usage, although I can't speak for whether it's ever been used outside of that context. Bearcat 20:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • That's hardly verifiability. Ardenn 20:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
    • A reference to "the Old Four sports tournament" on one of the competing universities' web pages doesn't constitute verification of the fact that there's a sports tournament called Old Four that includes the university whose web page says it's competing in the Old Four? That's an interesting definition of "verifiability". Bearcat 20:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
      • My bad, I missed that. Ardenn 20:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I think a solid case was made if it was indeed a hoax, but it has been proven not to be a hoax. And the tournament still runs today. So there is nothing that makes this false or irrelevant.--69.156.144.164 21:12, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I believe only the votes of signed in editors count, correct? -- Geo Swan 20:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I may have been partly responsible for flagging this page as a potential hoax, but there seems to be no reason to dispute the truth of the "Old Four" competition. Here is a quote from one of the external references:

This weekend the men’s and women’s soccer teams will be heading to Montreal to compete in the Old Four Tournament which includes Queen’s, Western and McGill. While points are not accumulated in these exhibition contests, pride and bragging rights are on the line for the four oldest universities in Canada. Slowmover 16:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Just because we haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it's a hoax. And furthermore, the edits by the creator of this page look like serious edits in general, even if the topics may not seem very "encyclopedic" to most people. Slowmover 16:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable. Never in common use, more like a neologism. Even the G10 article is suspicious. I never heard of it, I went to one of those universities. Ifnord 03:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• speedy keep -- Geo Swan 20:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
