[edit] KOTRT

A drinking game, created by univeristy students in the United States. First off, Wikipedia Is Not A How To Guide, which apart from one sentance, this article is. That one sentance makes the article's claim to notability, but that claim is not backed up by Google. Searching for "Knights of The Round Table" "drinking game" -wikipedia brings up 135 unique hits, most of which don't mention a drinking game by this name, and about a third of those that do (from the ones I checked) concern drinking games created in response to the Monty Python movie, which means a failure of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. Adding the qualifier of Indiana to the search, to try and pin down the creation of the game (Indiana University, according to the article) provides a total of 38 uniques, none of which refer to a drinking game of this name. I'll leave it to you kiddies. -- Saberwyn 05:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Clean up? Merge into drinking game, maybe? Since drinking games are all pretty much anecdotal, anyway, and this certainly isn't the only one with its own WP article, I don't see the harm in keeping it, provided it can be cleaned up. Delete, unless it can be verified. Microtonal 20:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I am suspicious of this already after reading about how it is "continuing in popularity." As I've said before, Wikipedia is not for things made up at keg parties last weekend. Or last month, for that matter. Daniel Case 06:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NFT and Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Royboycrashfan 06:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable and WP:NOT a respository for howtos. — Saxifrage ✎ 07:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no merge unless there's verifiable info. Ned Wilbury 14:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NFT unless good verifiable evidence is presented prior to end of discussion showing that the game exists as described and has reasonably widespread popularity. As always, "content must be verifiable" and "The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it." If not deleted via AfD, I intend to remove the unsourced material from the article, which currently would be all of it. Dpbsmith (talk) 17:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
