Goon boxing

This was tagged for CSD:G3, but I don't think it's really a blatant hoax and I don't think there are any other eligible CSD criteria. It just looks like some sort of non-notable activity, with all the references being Youtube or Facebook (and there's canvassing going on on its Facebook page). PROD would almost certainly have been contested, so I think I have to bring it here -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - article doesn't even try to establish notability; and it could be a hoax. There are some YouTube videos, a mobile phone app, and a Facebook page. I couldn't find anything more solid than that. Naive web search finds a) actual boxing by humans and b) apps that simulate boxing, with many more of the latter: the search (Google search "goon boxing" minus apps, videos) returns only 89 results (don't believe Google's first estimate).

 * Delete - ephemeric phenomenon with possible short life-span, possible hoax, but most likely a prank which received some minimal coverage in the new media. If it becomes as popular as planking, we'll have real sources.  Pundit | utter  16:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as lacking significant coverage in multiple independent third party sources. Feel free to ping my talk page if these are added to the article. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
