Dodgy night[edit]

Contested prod. This seems like something that was made up, and a google search for "Dodgy night"+greyhounds gives no relevant hits. Darksun 22:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC) Darksun 22:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - i have also done a google search and found on first page of results a reference back in 2004 in oxford mail http://archive.oxfordmail.net/2000/4/21/78562.html suggest article could be better worded with more references & external contacts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.32.16.50 (talk) 23:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That's more of a general piece about greyhound racing (that happens to use the term 'dodgy'), and has very little to do with the contents of this article. The entire article is complete WP:OR lacking in sources and sounds like the activities of a small group of pub friends. Wikipedia is not the place for it. Darksun 02:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clean up. Bearian 20:49, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have any reason for saying keep, per WP:NOREASON? Darksun 11:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A good read, but not a single source. It's clearly a drinking game among a group of friends. The sources added to the article so far back up the claims that: (1) greyhound racing has been described as "dodgy" in England (2) Australian greyhound betting works as described. Not a single mention of the article subject, and if it was at all widespread there'd be a newsworthy police crackdown for the stolen ashtrays alone. Thomjakobsen 15:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
