[edit] Scurr oval showdown

This one probably should be speedied, but I sent it here only because it made an (unverified and dubious) claim of notability. The prod tag was removed without comment. It appears to be nothing more than a vanity article about a sporting event between college buddies. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete per nom. I cringed while looking at the article in question. —EdGl 23:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. "The game of touch had its humble beginnings during the lunch hours of Year 12, when all came together to enjoy a friendly romp." WP:NFT. --Daniel Olsen 23:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. "Made up at lunch" seems to sum up the significance. Dsreyn 00:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Makes me rather embarrassed to have been at school (and yes, despite the name of the venue, it's a school rather than a college in the American sense) with some of these "players". BigHaz 00:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Please address any of the following to argue for this article to be kept: WP:NOT (WP:NFT being related), WP:V and/or WP:N. Currently there is no proof whatsoever that the article passes any of these, and a fair amount of proof that it fails them. BigHaz 07:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Grace period. Allow the editors of this article to address the issues.ChibiWong

That's what AfD is here for. The article was nominated on August 31 and debate remains open until 5 days later. That sounds like a grace period to me. BigHaz 09:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Note: One IP connected to this page and User:ChibiWong have both vandalised my userpage, despite the good faith in which everyone is acting here. See here for the IP and here for the named account. BigHaz 22:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete fails WP:V - don't really care much about whatever else. WilyD 13:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There are no references to this in Ebbsco's Australia and New Zealand media database nor are any reliable sources cited. I suspect that none exist. Capitalistroadster 01:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
