[edit] Scatter (Tennis)

Scatter (Tennis) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

non-notable game made up in school one day. Only source is a website created by game's originators. Has been edited exclusively by vandals and single-purpose accounts. Gets about 80 google hits, most of which are irrelevant. Reads like a hoax. And so on. Prod was removed by creator without comment. Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 17:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day; nom really says it all. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 17:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This game was not "made up in school one day". It has been played for about 5-6 years, and when the idea of attempting to make it known more widely came up, a website was made, and a Wikipedia article was started. Now that this article is pending deletion, I am going to try and keep it up, but I don't know how to edit the page to add the sources, and references etc. If someone could please do that for me, that would be great. The source/reference would be http://www.scattertennis.com and it woul;d be greatly appreciated if this article was kept up. It would mean the expanding of Scatter and make the game known to people throughout the World Wide Web. --ScatterTennis P.S. Also, I know that Scatter is not big now, but we plan on hosting many tournements over the next few years (first is on March 24th 2007), and that may increase the game's notability. So I don't think it would be such a bad idea to keep the article up. 20:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:RS, which details what a reliable source is. Also, please note that wikipedia is explicitly NOT for things that are not notable but might be someday, and in particular it is not meant to be a vehicle to increase notability. This is non-negotiable.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 03:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
