Garden Hopping[edit]

At best, a non notable children's game. Possibly also comes under "wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day". Ladybirdintheuk 15:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom, plus: Vanity page of "The four highest ranking masters in the world ... Burge, Ben, Lish and Greg". Azate 15:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This article also has the triple whammy of being an unsourced orphan dead-end. B.Wind 23:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, looks like more fake fun & games from our English secondary school friends. Tubezone 06:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete!! The four "masters" go to my school and are infact very well known for there work and have gained much recognition from the public. They have however, for the moment, retired from the sport, as they felt they have reached their current peak. Nevertheless, they take this daring sport very seriously and I feel that the people who insist on deleting the article speak to the boys themselves as they feel very strongly about there hard work and efforts. Maybe a few of you should also lighten up! The article is not a hoax article, it is very much real! 84.67.76.139 23:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC) — 84.67.76.139 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Speedy keep I don't see why my comments should be any less listened too than any others! I actually know these people and I know what it's all about. Everyone else, however does not. I can get a handful of people to express there opinions on this, who know the boys also and I intend to do so asap! 84.67.76.139 23:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC) — 84.67.76.139 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete dumb. Close before above user makes good on her threat of sock/meatpuppetery.Danny Lilithborne 22:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Burge' from the article and I can assure you everything that has been written there is 100% real. The 4 masters were prosecuted for garden hopping and two of those were later sent to court and given a total of £250 fine and sentenced to a 6 month referal order. This is a big thing in our area and lots of people will see this as important. Please do not delete it as because you are not from our area you do not understand what it means to the people. Thanks, Burge' =D 88.106.70.211 23:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)— 88.106.70.211 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Comment This falls under the category of "so what". You just verified its non-notability. Danny Lilithborne 23:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Omg are you sat waiting for people to write comments?84.67.76.139 23:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT DELETE Just because it isn't important to everyone doesn't mean it is not important to some. There are some articles on here specific to the USA that aren't important to people living in the UK but these articles are still not deleted? There is a notable amount of people affected by the issues in this article that find it important. Also the subject is becoming quite a legend around our area so Wikipedia and this article would be a valuable resource for anyone wanting to find out more about the subject. This is a similar thing to Robin Hood, he is a legend that perhaps only people living in the Nottinghamshire area would be interested in but I'm sure other people outside of the Sherwood area would be interested. The same should apply for this article. Burge 88.106.70.211 00:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete and chuckle at the idea of some bored teenagers trespassing in suburban gardens being equated with Robin Hood. Maybe try again when Kevin Costner stars in a movie about garden hopping :-) ChrisTheDude 08:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
