Animal Ball

Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought, and likewise, Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Conditional Keep Deletion might be premature - would rather give the author a shot at getting it up to standards. (Apparently it was put up for speedy delete 1 minute after being created!)  The game as described is legit, though obscure and will be a challenge to get past WP:N.  Let the whole five days of AfD candidacy run and see if the article improves.

 * Delete It's the nickname (game with no rules) that does it for me. If it is so freeform, I think it's unlikely it can get past WP:N now or ever. Erechtheus (talk) 02:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:MADEUP, WP:NN.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 09:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I found enough about animal ball through search engines to satisfy me this doesn't fail the MADEUP test. I've added a note to the article's Talk page asking for improvements to the article - in its current state yes it fails on notability, but it shouldn't go down to MADEUP/NFT.

 * Delete Vets agree-- If you find one animal ball, you're likely to find the other one close by! Mandsford (talk) 20:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ohhhh Mandsford. Anyway! I don't know that the minor 'undercurrent' of obscure presence this seems to have really counts. Non-notability comes in varying degrees, and something on the more notable end of that spectrum is still at heart non-notable. - Vianello (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Agreed, notability isn't met; I'm withdrawing my request for patience, since the article hasn't been touched since its creation. Townlake (talk) 22:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:N therefore non-notable. No reliable resources, or any resources at all.-- RyRy5 ( talk ) 11:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
