[edit] Calculator Football

A schoolboy calculator game which is not notable in any sense (even if it actually exists). Seems linked to other possible hoaxes at Jared Nash and Eli Makowski. Pudgey 11:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, fails WP:NFT with flying colours. Oh look, we're generating random numbers, and pretending we're playing Aussie football! Whatever will they think of next? JIP | Talk 11:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as your classic WP:NFT case. I'm amused by the article's claim that a calculator cricket game was invented in 2004, since one is already known to every Australian student from the earliest days of calculators with random-number generators.

    • Can you explain whether there's really any difference between Calculator Cricket and Calculator Football, other than the difference in the sport pretended to be played? Is it all just a series of seeing who has the larger random number, or are there more complicated rules? Could I create, say, Calculator Petanque simply by taking Calculator Cricket and replacing each mention of "cricket" with "petanque"? JIP | Talk 12:02, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:NFT, as well as several other policies and guidelines. Question, though: do calculators made in Manchester do any better at this than those made in Sunderland? Guy 13:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Caution is advised as at least one of these noxious hoaxes (Jared Nash) was a repost from about 2 weeks previous. I request an administrator check out what else this account has been up to. Also, someone may want to keep an eye on this dude and ensure that he doesn't repost these AGAIN. Thanx. 68.39.174.238 23:01, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
