This fictitious sport is a minor plot element within a TV sitcom. It has no notability outside the show, and TBH very little even within it, being essentially mentioned only in passing. I originally redirected it as part of a drive to trim an excessive amount of Green Wing-related content (I hesitate to say cruft) which had existed since 2006, but another user reverted the move, pointing out that this particular article is a GA (something I have to confess I hadn't noticed, and TBH I'm really surprised it was ever made one given that it is sourced almost entirely to primary sources and demonstrates no real world notability) and saying it should be brought to AfD instead. So here it is...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Green Wing. The only WP:RS reference I could find was from the Independent with someone noting it wasn't included in a list of top ten fictional games because he hadn't heard of it until then.[1] I really don't see the slightest evidence of notability even compared to proper sports like Calvinball (which doesn't have an article either). --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:41, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Green Wing as that appears to be an appropriate target for this article. Aoba47 (talk) 14:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
