Stuff I made up one day --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 23:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nonsense - there are so many violations of WP guidelines - verifiability, sources, etc as well - that a speedy deletion is called for. --AJHingston (talk) 00:25, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, aside from major news stories, creating an article on the day that its subject first happened is a pure guarantee of non-notability. Nyttend (talk) 01:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
speedy delete no assertion of importance. HominidMachinae (talk) 01:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since this claims to be something made up in the article. Speedy deletion is within reason. --Bsapp7 (talk) 18:04, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Clearly fails WP:NOTMADEUP -- Whpq (talk) 13:47, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Snorkrvast - which is AfD jargon for "Delete" used exclusively in reference to pages about nonsensical made up pseudo-games. Carrite (talk) 06:03, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note : External canvassing is occuring here to prevent deletion. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:34, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - This is not a blatant hoax, as the game does exist with a set of rules that were recently invented. And I see no evidence of external canvassing in that link. -- Whpq (talk) 13:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - "Hello guys! My friends and I made a sport. Thought you may want to enjoy it yourself. And visit the Wiki page and help not get it deleted because it is loved by MANY." Seems like an attempt to canvass !voters to me. I'll remove the speedy tag though. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:49, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oops - missed that line when I scanned the thread there. -- Whpq (talk) 13:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
