[edit] Rudopoly (game)

Pure hoax. The article states that there is a culture of secrecy surrounding the game. So secret in fact that Google has never heard of it. -- RHaworth 22:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

• delete is it maybe nonsensical enough to be speedy? This part is especially ridiculous: "Although the game certainly gained popularity in the 1970s, and most believe it did not exist before then, there exists evidence that it dates back to ancient times. One collector claims to own a Chinese rule set from the 2nd century BC, whilst other sources suggest that World War Two was actually entirely caused by Adolf Hitler attempting to play a game of Rudopoly; using the Earth and its inhabitants instead of the official board and pieces."

• Speedy delete Patent nonsense; hoax; probably something made up at school one afternoon. Bucketsofg✐ 00:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, but not speedy under how I've seen admins handle the "patent nonsense" speedy-delete criterion. A claim (utterly spurious) of notability is at least implied. My official delete reason is lack of verifiability, a core policy, but the WP:NFT essay also seems to apply. Barno 01:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NFT, WP:V, and so on. Not patent nonsense. Stifle (talk) 14:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Bart133 19:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
