[edit] Toetapp

This is an article on what would seem to be a most bogus sport which exists between a few friends. Quote: "the sport was invented in Truro, Cornwall several years ago when a group of friends were hanging out at Malpas Park". The article was written by User:Agros, and there's no coincidence that Agros is listed as a famous "tapper". LInks to a .tk website, but on my talk he claims he's been approached by a TV channel about the "sport". Looks a big hoax to me, but we'll see what debate ensues.

• 'Do not delete' We are not students. The main group consists of a two policemen, a stockbroker and various other workers. It is an insult to suggest wwe are bored students! Although the number of google hits is not very high that doesnot mean that toetapping is not a real sport. All extreme sports have to start somewhere. Give us a break guys. If we weren't for real we probably wouldn't bother defending our right to the page. However even if you do have to delete us please stop suggesting we are students!! Thank you.
  • Comment - that is all very good. But Wikipedia has certain standards for the articles. One of them in notability. And while your sport might be real, it is not notable (not popular, not well-known) to be included on WP. When you'll get your fame, please come back. Renata3 15:14, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
