The topic seems real enough, but I don't think it is really notable. I was unable to find any sources that even mention it. E♴(talk) 03:41, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, those sources mention Butterfly Ball, but not "Projapoti". I think Butterfly Ball looks notable enough, given those sources, so why don't we move the page to Butterfly Ball? --E♴(talk) 13:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Projapoti means "Butterfly" in Bengali language. Pont and Fountain are coaching the Bangladesh Team, hence the ball has been called the "Projapoti" because the players speak Bangladeshi. The players called it the Projapoti as it is the translation. It does not get a mention in the articles because they are in English, and would not have a Bengali word in the middle of an English article. Articles that do mention it are completely in Bengali, and will be unreadable to a non Bengali speaker. You would not call the Doosra, its English translation; its a "Doosra" due to the language of the player / location it was created in. Its Wiki page is titled Doosra, not an English translation. The Projapoti was created in Bangladesh by Pont & Fountain, hence the use of Bengali to name it, so the players all understood when it was being spoken about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Windiescricketfan (talk • contribs) 14:56, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. My suggestion is to wait till the term (butterfly, not projapati) becomes mainstream before starting off an article. Meanwhile, I am surprised to find that there is an article on Teesra - I thought it is considered more as fake than real. Tintin 08:45, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - per the above. Teesra is just like an orthodox backspinner, so I too doubt it exists! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 22:58, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
