[edit] The Game (drinking game)

LOL best reason for deletion ever!! Mike (T C) 03:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per Lar's impeccable logic. Kuru talk 04:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wow, this is far and away the most involved drinking game I've ever seen. I applaud these people. Too bad it's not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Re-create if it becomes a national fad. Grandmasterka 05:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Does not rise to the notability level of Dartmouth pong. savidan(talk) (e@) 07:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
That isn't notable either!!! LOL I am thinking about a new wiki, DrunkWiki?? Mike (T C) 08:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Agree with Mike...college drinking games are universally non-notable. Raggaga 10:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, not encyclopedic. - TRDriver 09:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per everyone. Raggaga 10:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I'd rather you didn't seeing as it took me ages to learn how to do the code! There's lots of games from various universities that cannot be described as "notable", and furthermore if these other games can be considered encyclopedic, how is this unencyclopedic? Perhaps I understated the scale of this phenomenon by mentioning that only 16 people finished the last one. Anyway, you guys seem far more involved in the site than me and know more about acceptability so if you do decide to get rid, fair enough, but personally I can't see the harm in it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.42.105 (talk • contribs) 06:12, 28 February 2006
    • Perhaps a transwiki is in order? Or a userify? Raggaga: I do not agree that college drinking games are universally non notable, there are SOME that are externally referenced and well known, etc... just not this one. ++Lar: t/c 12:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • is there anything I can do to make it acceptable? whats a transwiki? Sorry, the above defence was me, I forgot to log in.Dunderscoredawson 13:50, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Thanks for asking! (what follows is just me talking but I think it represents widely held views) First, a transwiki just means to move it to another wiki. Uncyclopedia perhaps, or Wikibooks might be places for it (check their guidelines first, of course). Review notability and verifiability guidelines and if this game truly meets the notability test, provide the cites from outside sources that reference the existance of the game. Interviews in national papers of the players, cites in scholarly journals of the cultural significance of this particular variant, or similar things would establish notability quickly. But if the game is truly just something you and your mates dremt up one day, it's probably not suitable for Wikipedia main article space(no offense!) Move it (or ask that it be moved) to your userspace instead. See WP:NOT. We'd LOVE contributions from you if they're on notable topics... the University of Nottingham itself, or the city of Nottingham certainly have lots of topics you could expand and about. Hope that helps! ++Lar: t/c 14:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as per Lars comment above. Slightly amusing but non-encyclopædic in tone and content.  (aeropagitica)  23:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nn nonsense.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sophisticated, but non-notable, too specific to a limited cultural context. Maybe merge with drinking game, but it needs a catchy name - you can't call something 'The Game' and expect the whole planet to call it that. Peter Grey 04:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
