[edit] Slam pong

Non notable drinking game. From the same people that brought you so much Dartmouth College trivia... DJ Clayworth 19:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Does not seem notable or useful. PJM 19:30, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN and also "how to". --MacRusgail 20:23, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOR and NN. College kids getting drunk and making a pseudosport out of it happens all the time. Karmafist 20:40, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN. Perhaps when they sober up they'll realise that drinking games are not, in fact, the acme of hilarity which they seem at the time. - Just zis Guy, you know? 20:58, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep This article is informative, not a personal hype or advertisement, and does not conflict with other potential uses of the term "slam pong". Additionally, the information for this article was specifically requested in the beer pong article. kharker 19:57, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - Informative, includes extensive description/rules, and NPOV. Why delete it? -- we have articles/stubs on most card games and variants thereof... Womble 20:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup - the article could use help; it does have a case of WP:NOR, but if pruned to reflect information shared among multiple online refs, I think it would be acceptable. Womble 22:22, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Please keep your comments on-topic and factual:
    • "From the same people that brought you so much Dartmouth College trivia..." - combative; attacking the people editing the topic, not the topic itself.
    • "College kids getting drunk and making a pseudosport out of it happens all the time." - combative; makes assumptions instead of using facts. Should topics on drunkeness not be included in Wikipedia? Or beer pong ?
    • "Perhaps when they sober up they'll realise that drinking games are not, in fact, the acme of hilarity which they seem at the time." -- complete opinion; personal attack on author(s).
• Delete vanity, original research CDC (talk) 21:05, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and add to drinking games list. Real Game, We play a varient at my school, no less or more notable than the 3 billion other drinking games on Wiki, such as Liar's dice, Yee-hah game, Bizu-Bizu, Edward Forty-Hands, Jug Game, Sink the Titanic, etc. --CastAStone 22:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Cleanup Cut out the original research, and this will be a perfectly fine article. Many of the delete comments are trying to promote their own POV about drinking games, rather than providing NPOV reasons for deletion. — λ 15:41, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

• If you're going to delete this one, then what about I never and all of the other drinking games? That article mentions a specific sorority by name, even though *I've* never heard of them in reference to that game. Please give an answer. Womble 18:53, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Beer Pong as a variant. Movementarian 15:45, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Merge with Drinking games, or edit with a chainsaw. What a useless excuse for an encyclopedia article. --Calton | Talk 00:15, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup. Would sure be a help to the person at The College of Wooster doing her Independent Study on drinking games, if it were properly de-NORified. (That's right, it's a scholarly subject!) Jacqui ^{★ 03:50, 3 November 2005 (UTC)}
