i dont think it's a hoaxbut it may be a joke Kowlse 20:11, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I have worked in UK schools for thirty plus years and never heard of the game. Pretty stupid rules anyway - surely it would be simpler to lift the skirt, not pull it down. There is a Range secondary school in Formby, but whether there is a uniform that includes school skirts I don't know, and I wouldn't have thought that Merseyside schoolboys would dress in a skirt for just a Mars bar! Anyway, clearly a hoax, maybe based in wishful thinking on the part of a peurile contributor, but plainly for deletion. Emeraude 20:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable game. Dertdad 20:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC) — Dertdad (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete for obvious reasons above. Puerile is the appropriate word. Fan-1967 21:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete clearly not in the scope of a true game or any thing. TheRanger 22:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NFT zephyr2k 22:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article is not a hoax, it's real, and for the benefit of everyone here on Wikipedia. Lighten up, people, this article shows the funny side of society. It's not a hoax, very genuine. Really. Deserves to be a WP:GA. Coxingle 23:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC) — Coxingle (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete Whether or not it's a hoax, it's not at all notable. And as other editors have pointed out, Wikipedia is not a place to post ideas you came up with one random day. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 23:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete following Coxingle's reasoning. WP:NFT by 10 year olds. Bwithh 00:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete this is so far from a WP:GA it's ridiculous. Lighten up, kids, it's just a stupid game, you can keep playing it in the privacy of your own bars and we can keep the garbage off. Danny Lilithborne 01:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not for things made up in Formby one day. Punkmorten 09:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete no this isn't another socky edit.. Wiki not for things made up in school one day, nothing on google about it. If it doesn't exist on google then it obviously isn't notable enough or verifiable. Also delete this sock mountain.--Andeh 16:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete With Fan-1967. Also not verified and google search finds no non-wikipedia references. Can't this be speedied or snowballed? Per WP:NFT and the fact that all keep !votes are first edits from what look like single purpose accounts. --Siobhan Hansa 16:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
