[edit] Cricket fighting

Probable hoax. Creator keeps deleting hoax tag. Ace of Sevens 11:29, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Per my nomination. I tried flagging this hoax per it seems implausible, the reference is not a reliable source and a Google search got plenty of results, but they seemed to also be jokes, which leads me to believe this is an internet meme. The page creator kept deleting the hoax tag without providing solid evidence of legitimacy or allowing discussion first. Ace of Sevens 11:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Needs expansion but not a hoax or internet meme and interesting subject. Many sources verify including the one listed in the article, as well as: [1] (New York Times article), [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]. --Fuhghettaboutit 12:29, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Changing to keep Those sources look good, but the article does need some work. Judgign by those sources, the current description isn't quite accurate (not a blood sport by any reasonable definition). Ace of Sevens 12:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, blood sport may not be a perfect idiom for this, but the insects might disagree;-)--Fuhghettaboutit 12:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep bad faith nomination. Article has always used verifiable sources and references from initial writing. SchmuckyTheCat 15:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
