 * Delete minor variation on Touch Rugby. There are several sources  but nothing that asserts notability. D0762 (talk) 15:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep if properly sourced. It seems to be a not-uncommon term in Australia.  A quick Google search produced a few sites that use the term (Beach Touch Queensland, A page about the sport on the Queensland Police website, A page about it on Touch Football Australia, Sandstorm Beach Club Touch Football competitions) --  JediLofty User ¦ Talk 16:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep if properly sourced Actually it was not made up on the beach one day, there is an intenseive discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MaiDireMeta that indicates a deep and long history of the whole shebang. In short, has potential, needs lots of work. Lots42 (talk) 16:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of work to do! I have a lot of source and sites that are about beach touch but I am not sure about how to use it. Beach Touch is a sport and there is summer competition in Australia, South Africa, France and from this year in Italy too. See discussion for links. MaiDireMeta (talk) 07:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
