[edit] Kickfighting

Neologism, original research are both possible. At the very least no sources are cited. Creator has been notified. SweetNeo85 01:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep. This appears to exist, but the article needs sources and cleanup. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 02:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep ^^ -- Librarianofages 02:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Send to cleanup: Yes, it exists, but this is a melange of poopy writing and thinking. Let's hope clean up can actually insert some references and make the wording work. Geogre 02:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Since it is probably all the result of a fertile imagination (I have searched high and low for references without success and the editors haven't produced any in 2 months) how can it be cleanedup? It would result in all content being removed and then speedied for no-content :-) BlueValour 07:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• I didn't know that it had such a long history (didn't check). If it's been here for 2 months and still looks like this, it should go. We had a debate a year or so ago about various forms of Wallball or something like that, and we decided to keep children's games, if they could be discussed coherently. This game does exist among the energetic and aggressive, but it isn't being discussed coherently, so delete without prejudice against a proper article creation (not recreation).

• Delete - it seems to be a term that can be used loosely for 'Kung Fu Kickfighting' and 'Kickboxing'. However, I cannot find any references to it being an organised sport or a specific terminology. Nothing is lost by deleting it and it can be recreated if a reliable source is found. BlueValour 07:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

* Keep subject to my memory playing tricks as I think I've heard of this. I'll try and do a bit of cleanup when I get the chance - there's a bunch of hits on google. MLA 12:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete changing my recommendation as I can't verify my own recollections - I feel sure I've heard of it but it cpuld just be a promotional term from the early days of full contact fighting. The article as it currently exists has nothing to do with kickfighting in any form of combat sport or martial art style and is just a non-notable game made up in school. MLA 11:05, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I am happy to stand corrected but the Google hits, as mentioned above, seem to relate to a loose description of other sports. The key point is that in this article it refers to hands tied behind the back whereas kickfighting per Google are all variants where you can use feet or hands. BlueValour 15:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
