The result was Speedy delete, WP:SNOW, without prejudice to adding something to the Oreo article if it can be properly sourced. As is, this article is part of Nabisco's viral marketing. That's not what Wikipedia is for. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Sadly, this doesn't cleanly fit into a speedy category cleanly, so in lieu of a CSD I'll suggest a snowball delete. This "sport" is from a commercial for Oreos. It's presented as a real sport (which is patently absurd), and either way it's completely non-notable. Gromlakh (talk) 05:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as nonsense, completely made up, can't be salvaged (as I originally tagged it). The only part of this that is "real" is the commercial. I feel the same way that Archie Manning does in the commercial. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Unfortunately doesn't meet G1, as G1 is only for things like random characters and gibberish. Still should be snowballed, though. Gromlakh (talk) 05:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A comercial gimic doesn't make a subject enclycopedic.--Cube lurker (talk) 05:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nor do celebrity endorsements.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge to Oreo. As Gromlakh says, it's part of an oreo add campaign. The "league/game" was invented in a Superbowl ad. One other admin deleted as nonsense. So did I before I did my homework. There is some news coverage, but I don't think this rises to significant media coverage. Creator protested deletion, so I restored it and joined the discussion here. (This page wasn't up yet when I hit "delete".  Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  05:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Am I the only one here who was working and did not see the bleeding ad? At any rate, if notable, delete as advert. Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  05:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, you're not. Apparently I choe the wrong speedy-delete criteria. How's about WP:SPAM instead? - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment To quote from one of the Google hits, "The DSRL interactive marketing program is a first of its kind for the Oreo brand. It includes a robust Web site (http://www.dsrl.com/) and a major advertising campaign, . . .". That would be the "game's" official webpage? Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  06:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment All the news and web hits I see refer back to the ad campaign. No news coverage prior to January.  Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  06:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Merging this article will take away from what this league is. It is also not a Super-Bowl Commercial go check out the site www.dsrl.com and you will see what it really is about, also is a league not a gimic this allows kids to look up to something to do professionally and have fun with there friends. Please reconsiderApplemac20 (talk) 05:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

This is not a gimic, it is a real league and is a fun activity for people who canot participate in other sports. it is not an advertisment. — JoeEverdine (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - After reviewing the above, this nonsense ridiculous article, and author's other contribs, the user appears to be quacking like a troll, and I suspect he's now making socks (e.g. User:JoeEverdine). Please don't feed it. Gromlakh (talk) 06:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep it I dont understand why you want to delete it. Its a real game and people can look on here to learn to play... Re edit Sorry i didnt sign my other comments.. I Didnt know how or you were supposed to. Just learned from the link JoeEverdine (talk) 06:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter if it's real or not. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Subjects must meet notability requirements via verifiable sources. Please be aware that AFD is not a vote. It is a discussion leading to Consensus'''. Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  06:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

(keep #2  Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  07:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)))Keep '  if you noticed our ip address is different there fore there is no way I could make socks, please stop accusing, and reconsider that this article is very important to society.Applemac20 (talk) 06:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It's just somewhat surprising to experienced editors, perhaps a bit eyebrow raising, when very new editors show up in an AfD discussion. You will need to provide verifiable sources that the subject meets notability requirements. I mentioned this on someone's talk page. T. Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  06:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

(keep #3  Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  07:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)) Keep  Gromlakh, very immature to strike out my Keep as you are somewhat confused. There is many links at Google News about the DSRL and as you can see there is one on the ArticleApplemac20 (talk) 07:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I struc it out. 3 keeps are too many. One per customer.  Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  07:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge to Oreo. While the creator has made an attempt to add sourcing to verify stand-alone notability, as was suggested to him, the only source in the article is a press release, which is excluded for the purposes of establishing notability. Little in this article is mergeable, but it could be possible to mention the campaign in the Oreo article. (The article has also been speedily deleted multiple times under various criteria as DSRL.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * UGH! I wondered about the message on Moonriddengirl's talk page, but I kept getting the current article when I tried to follow the link . Dloh  cierekim  Deleted?  16:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete non-notable and the source added is a self published kraft foods press release. Ridernyc (talk) 13:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge to Oreo on several points.


 * Promotional/Advertisement Issues - A Kraft Foods Press Release notes this as a marketing program created as an advertising campaign for Oreo by an advertising company. "The DSRL interactive marketing program is a first of its kind for the Oreo brand. It includes a robust Web site (www.DSRL.com) and a major advertising campaign, created by Draftfcb New York", a "full marketing communication agency"; and, the Kraft Food's website for DSRL contains a commercial disclaimer, "Hi kids, when you see "Ad Break" it means you are viewing a commercial message designed to sell you something."

 * Delete as unencyclopedic nonsense, WP:MADEUP and WP:NEO Mayalld (talk) 16:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * While I agree with deletion. I don't see how either of the 2 guidelines you sited have any relevance here. Ridernyc (talk) 18:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
