[edit] Drunken chess boxing

Drunken chess boxing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Seems to be a alcohol-fuelled version of the silly strange, but real, chess boxing. However, the external links are cut-and-pasted from the chess-boxing article, and do not support the existence of the drunken variation. "Drunken chess boxing" brings up a grand total of ZERO Google hits, so this is either a hoax or something made up one day. Seems to me that it should really be a speedy, but there doesn't seem to be a category that fits. Iain99 21:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete – Why wasn’t this “Speedy Deleted” Shoessss |  Chat  22:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a real sport. Basically the same rules as chessboxing with the drinking twist. We will be uploading footage of the match to Youtube to link on here. Please do not delete this page. This is the sport of the future. Ansasource 22:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete for patent nonsense, hoax, something made up, the list goes on and on. If Google ain't heard of it, we don't need it. Hersfold (talk/work) 22:39, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete for some many reasons already mentioned. I think...patent nonsense fits the best.Ravenmasterq 22:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete, I don't understand why this wasn't. Mkdwtalk 00:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Why didn't I speedy? Because no criterion really fits - A7 only applies to non-notable people, groups, companies and web content, not games, and I think this is probably a good faith article by someone who genuinely didn't understand why the game he invented with a couple of his mates shouldn't be on Wikipedia, so G3 doesn't apply. G1 specifically excludes things like this, so here we are. However, I think a case could now be made for a speedy closure under WP:SNOW. Iain99 00:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into chess boxing. Gosh, it's just like the difference between Rugby league and rugby association. Mandsford 00:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for the reasons outlined above. If this is not a hoax, a one-sentence addition to Chess boxing would probably suffice. --Yamla 15:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per WP:SNOW - hoax, or at least non-notable, original research, unsourced, unverified, etc. Melsaran 20:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
