Goblin (game)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Despite the colourful easy-to-search terminology, I can't find any evidence of this game existing, from a web, book and news search, and the claims about a game's history don't sound entirely serious. How many pub games have a "standardised game" or an official rulebook? The page has only ever had one source, a Lycos user page for some people who were playing it in 2005/6. This looks like a game limited to one pub in Bristol, and possibly just one group of friends in one pub in Bristol. WP:NOTMADEUP. Lord Belbury (talk) 18:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Just Speedy this out of existence. I wish the rap Goblin himself made this game so that at least I could say it was a little bit notable just cause it was made by him. The article is the creator's only contribution, which indicates the article wasn't created out of encyclopedic intention and was either a WP:Hoax or a thing this user made up one day. Amazing no editor, admin or bot noticed this in the article's 14 years of life. 👨x🐱 (talk) 23:01, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. If this is not a hoax, it's an interesting piece of WP:OR, but it has no place on Wikipedia in this (unreferenced) form. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Old WP:MADEUP leftover from 2007.  Wario-Man  talk 09:40, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I assume this is madeup. I can't find anything. delete but let me know if someone finds sources.  If we can source it at all in a reliable source, at the least there could be a merger. Hobit (talk) 18:24, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
