43-Man Squamish

Little out-of-universe notability, little sourcing, little content worth standing on its own. Tagged for notability since 2011 with no changes. Mostly just fanwank and trivia. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:08, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Leaning Merge to List of Mad issues (1960–69). Sources cover the topic, but the depth of coverage may not be enough for a standalone article. Source examples in initial searches have provided:, , , , , . North America1000 05:46, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Personally, I would like to see it remain. I read about it 40 years ago, and now I have found the rules, again. I think it as notable as Calvinball. Pete unseth (talk) 01:34, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Selective merge to article on its creator Tom Koch. I thought this would be more notable, but it's no quidditch, or even muggle quidditch. And while properly-sourced information on real-world teams would be good, we certainly don't need an article that unfunnily paraphrases the rules. Colapeninsula (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Note that the article states that this was invented by George Woodbridge and Tom Koch. North America1000 00:59, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Koch wrote the rules and Woodbridge drew the pictures. So Koch has a better claim to be the creator (it is invariably the rules that are discussed, not the visual style or the illustrations). But if people would rather merge to MAD Magazine, that's fine too. Colapeninsula (talk) 14:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
