[edit] Strat (drinking game)

The article is unsourced and a Google search doesn't show me much: [1] or [2]. It doesn't seem very notable, to me. PJM 16:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. A frat house invented a drinking game and now want to share it with the world. Not notable. (Make sure someone comes back for the picture, too.) JDoorjam Talk 16:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete literally a thing made up in school one day. No sources, in any case. --djrobgordon 18:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: not notable. --Francisco Valverde 18:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm fairly certain this came across AfD in another guise in the last month or two, and was unanimously deleted. But I can't find that AfD. -ikkyu2 (talk) 00:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Something similar, perhaps. This one's been here since June 2005. When I glanced at its history, I did not see any AFD taggings, which is surprising. PJM 01:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Remain. This article is a legitimate entry in the category of drinking games. By nature, these grames are frequently esoteric and localized, and so would not produce many hits on a Google search. Also, as the article attempts to demonstrate, Strat was not "made up at school one day," but has been around for nearly ten years. In addition, though the game may seem arcane to some readers, to many it is indeed notable and the Wikipedia entry serves as a public record of the game's nature, past, and present existence. Many of these charges could be directed to any entry of a drinking game; I don't understand why this page is the only one up for deletion. Desmond 13:01, 8 March 2006 (PST)

Rome wasn't built in a day. Other non-notable drinking game articles will find their way here eventually. PJM 22:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NFT. This content is not verifiable. If Desmond wishes to point out any other such games with Wikipedia entries, I will gladly nominate them for deletion also. Stifle 11:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
