I'm not even sure if this is a serious page - it doesn't establish notability Boleyn (talk) 19:01, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Quite a bit on Google (how reliable is another matter), and it does seem to exist. I doubt the claim to antiquity and tagged the historical section as needing verification. The lack of beer rules out a bored student origin. Otherwise, it does say "obscure"... Peridon (talk) 20:16, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are plenty of google hits, but none really from reliable sources. Ducknish (talk) 20:50, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Week keep. Article sounds kind of jokey ("The true origins of the sport are very unclear, however some historians speculate about certain theories. Some believe the sport was created by ancient Israelites..." especially) and overly promotional of the WFJF (until I edited it down to a single mention from half a dozen) but apparently there is some media coverage. Definitely needs lots of cleanup at least.--Atlantima (talk) 21:50, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Surely you joust. Being the subject of one of the 505 Unbelievably Stupid Webpages (#133) isn't enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Are these bouts accompanied by the sound of coconut shells? Clarityfiend (talk) 05:18, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
