[edit] Bizu-Bizu
Un sourced article about a "common" drinking game of which (predictably enough) I have never heard. And with under 300 ghits, many of which are unrelated, that's not too surprising. No reliable sources apparent among those hits. Just zis Guy you know? 21:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Well, if we delete this, we're going to have to go hog-wild deleting the articles linked in "Drinking game." There's a rather long list of them and each have their own articles. Aplomado - UTC 21:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Per Aplomado. I think that is reason enough, since a precedent has been set.--Eyaw Nayr 21:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above -- and no, Aplomado, I don't think so; a quick check around Google reveals that at least the six or seven games on that list that I picked out randomly indeed exist and enjoy popularity. There's no indication that the same can be said of Bizu-Bizu. And really, a phrase like "common in Europe" doesn't quite inspire confidence. What, it's played from Helsinki to Amsterdam to London to Berlin to Barcelona? Really? If it's that popular and well-spread and capable of crossing national borders with ease, it's certainly keeping itself rather well-hidden. Similar drinking games are not unheard of, of course, but at best Bizu-Bizu might be mentioned as an alternate name under FizzBuzz -- if someone can indicate that it actually enjoyes any degree of appreciable popularity under that name. -- Captain Disdain 22:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- I looked at numerous articles listed on that site and many of them have the same notability problems this one does. I'm just pointing that out. Aplomado - UTC 22:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well, by all means, if you think they are non-notable and/or unverified, AfD them. Seriously, I'm all for that. Keeping unverified and quite possibly fictional articles around just because we already have other unverified and quite possibly fictional articles strikes me as extremely pointless. -- Captain Disdain 22:41, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that's why I didn't say "Keep." I was making a comment to let everyone know that there is a virtual landfill of these drinking games that should probably get the same fate as this one, whether it be keep or delete. Aplomado - UTC 22:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ah! That's fair enough. =) -- Captain Disdain 23:01, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

- Delete: No sources; non-notable. --Slgrandson 23:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: I have prodded the shit out of a bunch of other similarly unsourced and non-notable drinking games listed at "Drinking game," but I've only gotten through the card-related games. Damn there is a lot of them. Aplomado - UTC 00:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- And I have removed them as a violation of WP:POINT. Please take time to read that page. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 00:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: While I respect Naconkantari's decisions almost universally, I disagree that his was a WP:POINT issue. I think PRODing some of these would have weeded out some of the ones that made it to AfD -- Samir

- Comment: I think I understand the misunderstanding here now, although I rather think Naconkantari jumped to conclusions. Please understand that I am agreeing with the decision to delete this article due to the reasons cited by numerous people above. Therefore, I am not nominating a bunch of similar articles for deletion to be disruptive and "prove a point." Please don't take it that way. Aplomado - UTC 18:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

- Delete, seems quite NN, per Disdain --Deville (Talk) 02:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC) (Readding my vote in, it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle --Deville (Talk) 14:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC))
