[edit] Manpool

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

Contested PROD. At first glance it looked like WP:MADEUP, but it doesn't. There are a few relevant ghits, not enough however to establish real notability. Delete, man. Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 22:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Rjlohan (talk) 23:35, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Can verify this game exists, and is rapidly gaining popularity. I've just played in a sponsored tournament in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. My $50 loss is real. :-( The game started as a small promotion, but took off quickly in nearby bars and pubs. Rjlohan 23:35, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The sole word of a pseudonymous Wikipedia editor is not verification. And popularity is not a criterion here. Please cite sources to show that this purported game has already been documented outside of Wikipedia in books, papers, or articles. Uncle G (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Completely original research. Local notability isn't established, but even if it were -- it's only local. -- Mikeblas (talk) 23:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't care if you lost a million dollars, this is completely non-notable. If you do make it notable by the end of the week, I may change my mind. —BoL @ 00:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
