[edit] Tricket

Tricket (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day, also speedy tag was deleted a total of four times, by two different editors. I vote Speedy Delete, possibly with a dash of salt. Improbcat 19:18, 24 Aril 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete "I have been researching games played at my high school..." Get it off our encyclopedia as fast as possible!Dr bab 20:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC).
  • Don't Speedy delete I'd rather not... and I believe this is for everyone not people who think their hard like you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Breno8ncfc (talk • contribs)
  • Delete - when the first four words are "I have been researching" you can see where this one's going — iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete ...and when the words following "I have been researching..." are "...games played at my high school", you just have to laugh a bit. Or a lot, if you're hard like me. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, can't speedy because WP:NFT is not a speedy-able criterion. Article self-admits it pretty much was something made up in school one day. In fact, it looks like it was made up this past Saturday. Also note the initial admission of original research. Wikipedia is not the place for this. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Let's not wait for irrefutable sources for statements like "Tricket was invented on the 21st of April 2007...". Thuresson 23:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete Original research on a sport made up in school. Maxamegalon2000 05:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep It is an actuall sport and there people need to know about it so it has to be kept--Smiley2605 17:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)— Smiley2605 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • What policy says that Wikipedia is a place to promote things that are made up in school one day? This is, in essence, what you are arguing - and in fact, there's already policy in place that says that this is not what we are for. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete How did this article get to this point? Breno8ncfc repeatedly removed the SD tag. No one gave her a warning. It even admits it was made up at school. Why is this even up for debate? Turlo Lomon 11:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, technically, Breno8ncfc was right - WP:NFT is not a speedyable criteria, as I indicated above. This is the best place for it. Let it go through, and if it pops up again, we can {{db-repost}} it. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
