Arcade Tennis

 * — (View AfD)

Technically asserts notability, but is not notable, not verifiable, and may not have even happened for all we know. This is the editor's only contribution. In a few choice words, WP:NFT skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 20:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

May I personally say that this article is entirely truthful once some editing has been made. There has indeed a sport been invented called Arcade Tennis by myself and my friend and is now played by other people in the communityand we feel it has the ability to grow increasingly. I feel that my friend has maybe added some statements in the article which I have highlighted and deleted accordingly. We feel that this new article may help Arcade Tennis gain a bigger following and even without this page the sports members are increasing. I feel very disappointed by this remark made and want to assure you that it is entirely truthful and authentic.User:Greg=Liamfrason
 * Comment Even if everything in the article is factual, there is no independent source to verify this, which is essential to a Wikipedia article. Furthermore, I show no evidence that a sport as you describe is played anywhere else, and even if it is growing in your community, it needs to be recognized by mainstream sources before it could be included here. My apologies for sounding harsh, but I see this every single day here. If you would like to discuss this with me further, please take it to my talk page so as not to clutter this discussion.  skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 21:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - as the nominator pointed out, Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. I don't question your assertion that you really, truthfully, invented a game. The issue is that Wikipedia does not allow articles about stuff you just make up. - IceCreamAntisocial 21:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

We wish for the article to be immediately deleted as we can see we are not welcome in the wikipedia community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg-liamfrason (talk • contribs) 16:49, January 8, 2007
