Magic Stick (game)

Non-notable party game. Violates WP:NOT. Prod was removed for reasoning of basically WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. In 2 years no sources have been added to the article to satisfy removal of the prod. A Gsearch [1] only turns up hits for a song and the memory card of the same name. twirligig_T to^the C 19:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I will say this: it's definitely a real and very common game, and I'd be far from surprised if there are reliable sources out there someplace (there are many books on party games, after all). It's usually done with a baseball bat, though, and usually called Dizzy Bat or something similar. No vote yet, but I could see this being keepable if sources are found.

Looks like not too many people want to comment on this AfD. A Google search indicates that Dizzy bat is the more common name for this game, so I would support a move to that name. I also found some references to "Dizzy bat race" and "Dizzy bat relay", but without more time to research, I'm not 100% sure if they are the same thing. In any case, a quick Gsearch and Gnews search seems to indicate that there would be enough reliable sources to make an article out of this, although I don't have the time ATM to tackle it. Overall, I'd say keep and move to Dizzy bat. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 00:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment if this is kept, it should be moved to dizzy bat. I too know it by that name. No opinion on sources being enough. Hobit (talk) 04:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Although the game appears to be better known under the alternative name dizzy bat, none of the google hits provided in the link above are reliable. There is one eHow article, but Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
