Finest Shield Game of them All[edit]

Contested prod. Prod reason: "This term is not notable and hardly verifiable, as only one source actually uses this name apparently (Matches Of The Century by Don Cameron). Nothing about this on Google News or Google Books. If one single commentator uses a term to describe one game, it is far from sufficient to use that for an article. Something should be commonly known under that description to have such an article." Prod contested because "I don't think it should be deleted just because its name has not been common or used, it is a title that could become popular because of this page." This of course is the opposite of what Wikipeia is for: we report what is already notable, we don't make things notable which were obscure. Apart from the one book given above, the term is not in use at all[1][2][3]. Fram (talk) 09:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I usually add my own rationale but Fram's nailed this one. Gonzonoir (talk) 12:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
