[edit] Raljoball

Non-notable game with no references played by one group of friends. Somno (talk) 03:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

• I am currently working to add refrences and improve the page. I haven't put much time into editing, and am still learning the process. The game is growing popularity for college students. Ohio State students are implementing it as a club sport. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andyman103v (talk • contribs)

• Delete no notability.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 06:33, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Dumb college kids doing dumb things. No one cares, really. Delete JuJube (talk) 11:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Wait I would give it a few days. The author said it's being improved. But for now, delete. Mm40 (talk) 19:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NFT. No reliable independent coverage. It's about as notable as Bongwarriorball. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Delete considerably less notable than 43-Man Squamish. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 23:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unless some sources appear. A search turns up very little indeed. Hobit (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Made up in school. Not notable. Maxamegalon2000 05:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Wait It was not just some game made up in school one day or anything. It has been played for about 4 years now. It's starting to get pretty serious and people have asked why there isn't any website for it. It is most commonly played by high school and college students. User:Andyman103v 23:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: The above is the author of the page in question. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep It sounds like a pretty serious game and should be given credit. The author put in a lot of work. User:M102046 23:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: The above is a single-purpose user who tried to delete all the "delete" votes [2] Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - clearly WP:NFT, no serious google hits. Mitico (talk) 23:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Wait I say we wait to see how the author of the page handles creating the rest of the page.IIIhomicide (talk) 17:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • The above is also a brand-new, single-purpose account. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 18:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete due to failure of verifiability/lack of reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 03:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete—non-notable variant of Four square. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 22:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • If so, then maybe it deserves a one-line mention in that article? Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 00:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Possibly. That wouldn't be unacceptable. Although, it may appear out of place. One of the unreliable primary sources would have to suffice. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 00:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
      • The point being, that's the most it should get, if it's a simple variation on a game that already has an article. We used to play Monopoly with house rules, like many have, and house rules are discussed on the Monopoly page, not in their own separate article.

• Keep- Raljoball is a growing new sport. It is currently be spread around Ohio State University and Penfield High School.Greg4444 (talk) 14:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: User:Greg4444 was created today. The user's only edits have been to this page, to the Raljoball talk page, to the user page of User:Raiders fan6969 (see below) and the vandalizing of User:Baseball Bugs talk page. It appears to be an SPA. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 18:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, no independent sources to show notability. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep- It looks like an interesting sport and it is really not any sort of variant of four-square. There is an actual link to a website, so it could probably be acceptable to keep it.Raiders fan6969 (talk) 17:49, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note User:Raiders fan6969 was created today. Its only edit has been to this page. It appears to be an SPA created to comment here. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 18:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete no sources (indeed no Google hits other than YouTube, Myspace, Wikipedia, and forums). Fails WP:V, WP:N, and WP:NFT. Hut 8.5 18:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. "people have asked why there isn't any website for it" - so then go and get a website provider and create a page, Wikipedia isn't here to be your web provider. Corvus cornix_talk 18:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keeping in mind that the mere presence of a website about something doesn't necessarily make it either notable or reliable. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 20:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
    • This is true. Corvus cornix_talk 20:37, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
