Home Run For Life[edit]

A softball event, held to raise money for charitable purposes. The claim to notability is that Guiness recognizes the third game as the world's longest softball game.

However, most coverage is strictly local and not in-depth. (Note that the creator and primary editor of the article appears to have a COI, however noble in this case.) הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 19:42, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Selectively merge to Waskatenau, Alberta. Not sufficiently notable to deserve its own article, but the fact that this tiny town got together to set this record (as documented in reliable sources such as [1][2]) is a noteworthy fact about the town. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not opposed to a merge (and redirect, I assume). הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 00:45, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
