[edit] Dibble (game)

Dibble (game) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is about a non-notable game (failing WP:N), and is completely unsourced, which it has been since at least July. In addition, a Google search for "Dibble" brings only results about the Dibble family, and a Google search for "Dibble (game)" yields primarily results relating primarily to an unrelated drinking came called Ibble Dibble. bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 04:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Delete The picture on the page says it all. I know we're not supposed to make the accusation, but this is obviously a vanity article. Faithlessthewonderboy 04:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NFT. Why can't people spread games the old-fashioned way, by telling their friends? --Dhartung | Talk 05:40, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete obvious Stuff someone came up with one day. -Drdisque 07:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment: The things listed at WP:NOT are not criteria for speedy deletion; in fact, the CSD page lists WP:NOT as a specific non-criteria for speedy deletion. bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 14:39, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep It I disagree. This game is indeed a local favorite throughout many suburbs of Jersey. Personally I've known about it since 1998. Over the years I’ve played with subtle variations to the rules that are listed in the article, but for the most part it seems pretty accurate. Obviously this is a regional type of thing… I would guess that most residents who grew up in areas like Camden, Cherry Hill, and Middletown would know of the game and can confirm it. Otherwise, there’s obviously no sanctioning body to the game, but its article here I think is valid in capturing the essence of the game and is completely warranted (think of it as a less-popular version of the basketball game H-O-R-S-E, which also has its own spot in Wikipedia). Just my two cents. Recommend keeping the page. Any other Jersey folk who can confirm the wonderful game of Dibble?. Nils302 12:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
