Rugball[edit]

Comment - Google search gets lots of hits for Rugball, but it appears to refer to a number of independently-invented games with unrelated rules. The russian game appears better established than the Goshen one. Either need a neutral article describing the various games with this name, or an article on Goshen Rugball, which might not meet notability guidelines. Capmango 23:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Quite literally something made up at school one day. ~ Infrangible 02:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question - There is an article from the Goshen College school newspaper featuring this game. Would citing this source add to the notability/credibility of the article? Also, would the best approach be to create a page for both Russian Rugball as well as Goshen Rugball? Though I would agree the Russian game is far more established than the Goshen version, I would say the Goshen version, in turn, is somewhat more legitimized than some of the other sites returned by Google. Maybe not. Thoughts? Mrody 04:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although this is something that is "made up in school one day", it seems to have spread out and mentioned by a school newspaper independent of the origin. There may be a small pinch of notability here.--Kylohk 11:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - popularity spread is asserted but not backed up with reliable sources, and found none in searching. -- Whpq 16:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
