[edit] Soccer baseball

...and speaking of things made up in school one day... Rklawton 20:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete It's impossible to verify this by doing a web search, so without any sources I would have to say delete. If anyone has actually heard of this sport please help us here add something so we can verify it. I'd be happy to change my opinion if that were to happen. DrunkenSmurf 20:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment definitely passes WP:NFT, even if Rklawton doesn't know it .. but I also am unsure of how to get it past WP:V WilyD 20:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I agree, I mean it sounds like a plausible sport akin to Kickball, but somebody needs to verify it and add some sources. Searching for "Soccer Baseball" really doesn't help all that much, there are just too many irrelevant results to wade through. DrunkenSmurf 20:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Kickball - I'd say I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but the kickball article notes Canadians oft call kickball Soccer Baseball WilyD 21:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Kickball as suggested by WilyD. The rest of the world raises both eyebrows Bwithh 22:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect per WilyD; otherwise weak delete. Google searching does indeed result in a lot of irrelevant results, but this hit suggests that the term is not entirely made-up - at least not in Saudi Arabia in 1963. Verifiable, maybe, but if notability is a criterion, then the article otherwise should be deleted. Agent 86 22:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per WilyD. --MECU≈talk 23:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Another Comment According to the article this is not the same game as kickball. In Kickball the pitcher rolls the ball to the batter and you throw the ball at the guy to get him out, while in this game everything is done by kicking the ball. So a redirect would seem to not fit if indeed one believes that this form of the game does exist. On that note I promise never to discuss the rules on Kickball again unless my two year old niece asks me. DrunkenSmurf 02:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment read the Kickball article and talk up a few Canucks - you'll see the redirect is appropriate, even though it's not motivated by this article. WilyD 03:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (Weak). but verify and establish notability. HomeTOWNboy 20:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to kickball. A redirect, alone, isn't approrpiate--as DrunkenSmurf comments, this describes a variant. --Karnesky 21:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

  OK, but let's only merge the sourced parts. Um, that would be nothing. Rklawton 23:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
