[edit] Quadball

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

Contested Prod, removed with the comment "This game is notable. It can be viewed at Quadball.org, has a history spanning decades, and has been played by hundreds of players. Also, if curling gets a page then Quadball deserves at least 10...". I am really not seeing the notability needed to keep this page and, in particular, there is a lack of good secondary sources.

• Delete - Per WP:MADEUP and [1]. Fails WP:NOTE. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 02:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

this is not made up, all students and faculty of Phillips Exeter Academy will attest to its existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.75.66 (talk) 03:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

That's not really what WP:MADEUP says. I am sure that it exists. However, Wikipedia isn't the place for articles about novel games etc.. that a group of people created one day. If it received widespread coverage in reliable sources, then that's fine. However, I could find nothing that substantiated it's notability. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 03:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Thwacking, Meatstomping Delete: A G-search for "Quadball" + "Phillips Exeter" turns up a titanic nine total hits, which consist of this article, three photos on an academy website photo album, and five citations on Myspace pages or mirrors. More non-notable it is not easy to get. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day.  RGTraynor  15:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
