[edit] The Mitten Toss

The Mitten Toss (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No indication of notability, contains the phrase "sport of growing popularity". Players are called tossers. Only outside reference doesn't mention the game at all. WP:HOAX? WP:NFT? Richfife 01:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete based on the deletion log for "Mitten toss.". Google strongly suggests that this sport is played by no more than a handful of fraternities in the midwest, and apparently other editors have noticed this on several occasions. --Hyperbole 01:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete but not speedy. Speedy declined because G4 only applies to items deleted via XfD & this has not yet been. I suggest that it any case it would be better to delete it here at AfD in a more definitive way. After that, then it can be deleted by speedy when someone is foolish enough to try to put it back.

  • Delete - Recreation of non notable sport article, can't see any reasonable reason for someone calling a ball 'mitten' either. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete view - certainly has the feel of a hoax to me but, in any case, lacks the necessary sources to establish notability. Bridgeplayer 03:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Without sourcing, either a hoax or not notable. Maxamegalon2000 05:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete with out sources it appears to be a hoax. Oysterguitarist 06:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
