Broom cannon

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

New, made up game, falls under neologism.

I was unsure whether I could tag this under speedy deletion, criteria IAR, so I'm submitting it to you guys.

Rugby, was first started with just a bunch of guys trying to occupy themselves at college. Actually, every sport was invented as a means to entertain oneself.

 * A word from the writers

Of course, throwing a broom across a field isn't very attractive. It seems rubbish. But everything just starts that way. In the future, I'm sure that the equipment will change as smarter and safer people decide to take an interest in this small unofficial sport.

And is Wikipedia not a place where ideas can form, and spread to others? We hope to bring this new sport/entertainment to others at college. And possibly, many other Wikipedia members can partake in this sport in the future.

And we promise this is not a hoax, and this is not a joke. We are quite serious about this matter.

We hope you will consider keeping this article on Wikipedia.

Thank you very much for letting us speak. Brotos (talk) 07:15, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Rugby did not have a Wikipedia entry when it was just created... Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 13:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nor would it have done so even if Wikipedia had existed at that time. Wikipedia is not a place for new concepts to make their debuts. Rather, Wikipedia is supposed to discuss things which have already received coverage in reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
