[edit] Beer Frisbee

A frisbee variant played by one frat at the University of North Carolina. 183 google hits (compare to 77,000 for "Beer pong"). Non-notable. Meelar (talk) 15:18, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete — typical frosh-improvised game :-) — RJH 15:22, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Similar results for other two search engines, but remember, Google test is not conclusive. In this case, however, the context suggests a delete. Ambush Commander 15:30, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Delete, Delete - completely useless article - looks like selfpromotion to me. Gorrister 15:41, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Enev if it had a million Google hits it would not be encyclopedic. -- RHaworth 16:11, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
  • Keep. After some recent edits, this page seems to explain the details of a fun college game. -- Ddd57 17:38, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
  • This is this users only contribution. Gorrister 17:39, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I fail to see why this entry is any less worthy than any of the other frissbee-based games currently listed. In fact, it seems to have a more fully developed rule system and folklore surrounding it than most of the others. I have a difficult time seeing how this game could be classified as improvised. The grammar in the entry is a little rough, but could easily be corrected, whereas the substance is quite extensive. -- dstevens23 13:06, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC) — (dstevens23's 1st edit.)
  • Delete. Vanity, not notable, largely unverifiable. 94 unique Googles, the first relevant one coming on the 3rd page of results. A game played by two chapters of a fraternity is not encyclopedic. If the article stays, the photo needs to go; I see the beer, but where's the frisbee? Regarding the existence of other articles on frisbee games, Wikipedia is not consistent; the existence of articles on other frisbee games should not be used as an argument in favor of keeping this one.

  • Delete. Non-notable vanity fratcruft. -- pcrtalk 19:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I think this page is pretty cool actually -- ejking 16:06, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC) —

  • Delete. Non-notable. mikka (t) 22:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I would like to see this sport codified but one frat's version of the rules is not encyclopedic. There are several completely different rules to be found through google on beer frisbee, frisbeer, and beerbee. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:39, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. To Wikisource (or Wikibooks in a "Frisbee rulebook"?), with other frisbee rules, and one of those nice little boxes pointing to it on the Frisbee page. Better to not completely scrap something this insane, I think. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 00:55, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete student vanity. JamesBurns 06:11, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Amusing and well documented rules and history of the game. I can see removing the "pregnant lady" bit, but the rest mostly seems appropriate for the general public, and it is educational for folks looking for new things to do instead of sitting in front of a CRT. --Razmear 05:11, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
