[edit] Elimination (game)

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

Looks like original research, no references, Google returns a lot of hits, but most are about the sport term "elimination game," none about a game called Elimination. —Chris! _ct 05:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment should this be deleted, the name can be redirected to Elimination (arcade game) with a hatnote on Single-elimination tournament & Double-elimination tournament or vice versa (if prefered).--Lenticel ^(talk) 06:39, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Eliminate as original research. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 10:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete any salvageable information can be placed with dodgeball if appropriate. Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

All I can tell you is I used to play this game as a kid with my friends in my neighborhood in the northern part of Cheektowaga, NY, and "elimination" is what we called it. As to whether it is "original research," that's certainly debatable. It's my contention that just because noone else on the Web has chosen to document this game is not a denial of its existence. In that sense, it's original. I just think it's a shame we have plenty of other games with entries on Wikipedia, but we somehow sort of deny the reality of this just because this is the only place it's chronicled. However...it does seem fitting maybe to include some of this in dodgeball as a variant. Joe (talk) 15:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete clear violation of Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_for_things_made_up_one_day. I don't think there's anything salvage-able, for either consolidateion with dodgeball or other. As soon as it got over there, it would be deleted as unsourced and original research.Cander0000 (talk) 05:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
