[edit] Sealand sports

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

Trivia dressed up a serious article, with no independent reliable sources cited. Sealand is in fact a small platform off the coast of the UK, and whilst it's no doubt appropriate to have an article on Sealand itself, this is mere fluff. kingboyk 08:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Merge edited down contents to Sealand. Minature golf on an offshore platform is not notable. --Work permit 19:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
    • I don't think the sports actually take place at "Sealand", these people "represent" the "country" when playing, that's all. --kingboyk 11:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge and redirect any usful content. A few games played on a legally disputed micronation are by no means notable alone. Martinp23 22:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
  • keep, the phenomenon has been picked up by secondary sources Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 03:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
    • That's one article about the "Viva World Cup", in which Sealand is mentioned. Maybe the "Viva World Cup" is article-worthy, I don't know. --kingboyk 11:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge verified and trimmed content to Sealand. We don't need a separate article on this trivia. Hut 8.5 16:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete is first choice, but no strong objection to a merge... if reliable sources can be found. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge back to Principality of Sealand page. A second article is not needed. Unidyne 02:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, trivia. >Radiant< 12:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
