  • sungerton is a legitimate card game played in new england and the midwest. though the article sounds colorful and playful, it does apply to a game i have heard of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.226.219.77 (talk • contribs) 2006-01-24 07:27:11 UTC
    • If it is a legitimate card game, it will no doubt have been documented in one of the large number of books on card games that have been published. Please cite two or three such books. Uncle G 14:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Exactly zero Google hits means delete to me. GeorgeStepanek\talk 07:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete too insignificant for an encyclopedia. Ruby 12:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • This article cites no sources, and I can find no sources. It is unverifiable. I also strongly suspect from the wording of the article that this card game has been invented and documented directly in Wikipedia by its creator, without it actually having become part of the corpus of human knowledge, contrary to our no original research policy. Delete. Uncle G 14:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Uncle G as unverifiable. It probably falls under this guideline, too. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable and twee. "Sungerton is a card game invented by the fabulous and strikingly well-dressed Micah Chocolate and swadisht Sarah Healthbuddy Palmsnatcher." --Lockley 23:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unverifiable. Note that GeorgeStepanek's search above is on Google's ".nz" servers. I got zero matches on a USA-based search that wasn't in Google Books. Lots of card games get invented in basements or jails or bars, and attain a little bit of local notability, but not enough widespread notability or media attention to get kept in Wikipedia.

    • Is not! Yes, it's searching via google.co.nz but it's searching the whole web, not just pages from New Zealand. GeorgeStepanek\talk 04:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete absurd. Uucp 19:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete if it doesn't have Google hits, it's not for Wikipedia. Funny how google is still our main check on these things. Anabanana459 07:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
