[edit] Sennis

It seems like a hoax. I couldn't find any info on google. It is a dangerous sport though, it can even cause sterility. Garion96 (talk) 01:28, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, to be complete, I did just found one link where it was mentioned [1] Garion96 (talk) 01:34, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, perhaps speedy. Obvious hoax.--Kalsermar 02:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax (note the deleted link too) - seems to be some kind of collective in-joke among some Vancouver users). Unlike "Toccer", Google shows no sign of "sennis" being a synonym for Tennis Polo. Tearlach 05:09, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
    • It shows that "Sennis" is an alternative name for "Toccer" though... Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 05:34, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
      • It doesn't: the handful of hits for sennis toccer are all mirrors of the disputed older Wikipedia version , not independent verification. Tearlach 10:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
        • No they aren't. There is no disputed older Wikipedia version. They are mirrors of Wiktionary. Uncle G 12:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
          • I stand corrected: I saw GNU and assumed they came from the old Wikipedia Toccer. I've seen dispute somewhere about the name change, but clearly not here. However, as you say, an unsupported defintion on Wiktionary is hardly verification. Tearlach 12:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I really hate pages like this one. Daniel Case 02:41, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as verified. [2], [3] as well as a variety of message boards. Its apparently alternately called Toccer. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:05, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I'll alternately vote Redirect to Toccer since that seems to be the most common of the 3 defintions of Sennis. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:06, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
    • That's not even close to verification. A pseudonymous post on a self-submission web site describing a game "ayrton sennis" (an obvious invention to make a joke about the death of Ayrton Senna) and a Wiktionary mirror are not reliable sources. Uncle G 12:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup An option on the AFD main page. This article needs to be cleaned up. (Bjorn Tipling 07:33, 11 December 2005 (UTC))
    • How, exactly, do you propose that editors do that, given the lack of any sources whatsoever? Uncle G 12:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nominator. — JIP | Talk 11:59, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • This article as it stands, purporting to describe a "game invented in 2005" as it does, is unverifiable. The article cites no sources and I can find no sources describing such a game. As Tearlach points out, there are no sources that state that this is a name for Tennis Polo, either, so a redirect there is inappropriate. There is a verifiable thing known as Sennis, though. It is the Sennis River in the Toledo District of Belize. Unless the article is completely rewritten to be about the river, delete. Uncle G 12:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax and/or nonsense. Logophile 14:44, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
