Hops Ball


Google hasn't heard of this. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Weregerbil 09:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete seems to be part of a wider hoax involving the sock puppets Quillandpaper73 Clonestamper and Dingleberryfinn and also involving the article Footbasket. Made up in school one day. -- I sl a y So lo mo n  |  t a l k  10:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax. Article's talk page is plagued with the same kind of sockpuppetry as other recent hoax articles, such as Footbasket and Theodore Macus--none of which have sources, nor can any be found (How can you know the history of a sport, as well as all the rules, and not know the source?)--and which all feature the same core group of users and IPs conversing about the subject, making extremely vague claims that they saw or heard of the subject recently, followed by the assertion that Google can not be used as it is not a reliable method of searching.

 * Delete hoax and block those sockpuppets who created it and warn the anon user who removed the afd template. Storm05 17:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete and salt this article and other ones made by this vandal and his sockpuppets, per WP:VANDAL, WP:CSD G3 and G5, WP:SNOW. They all should've been turned into a smoking craters the first day on AfD. Tubezone 01:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
