Jayred

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested PROD. Non-notable drinking game. All reliable sources in the article are for the claim that binge drinking games have contributed to bans at various universities. However, none of these actually mention Jayred, the topic of the article. (EDIT: Unrelated material removed.) Glass  Cobra  16:55, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Sounds kind of like it was made up one day.  No notability evidence. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 21:05, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - It is true that the references regarding the banning of drinking games at various universities/colleges do not mention the game by name (few games are mentioned by name in any of the articles, with the exception of pong). These sources can be removed, however I feel they are relevant and do not claim that Jayred was the only game responsible for these bans. In context these references only support the concept that drinking games, including Jayred, are popular and associated with binge drinking, and were banned at some institutions as a result.
 * Additionally it seems the other reliable sources are being overlooked. Both "101 Drinking Games" by Andrew Studdard, and "The Complete Book of Beer Drinking Games" by Andy Griscom list the game by its name, 'Jayred' and describe it in detail.

 * As for notabillity, I'm sure the game was made up one day, but according to the abovementioned sources, it has been around since 1997.


 * Keep About 300 people played this game at a national student medical student convention that I attended last year. While it had been made up recently, it quickly spread throughout my university as well (University of Adelaide).


 * I was really psyched to see that a page had been made for it, especially one that was good and detailed. It would be unfair to anyone who wanted to look up the rules this game, even only those at the med school convention, if this page were to be taken down.


 * I think there is definitely room on wikipedia for this page. Aussiesimmo (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC) — Aussiesimmo (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete - There are [probably] more drinking games for med students than there are doctors. I don't see anything notable about this one. Shadowjams (talk) 07:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO. I am a big fan of Pop Culture, but Wikipedia is not the place to look up new stuff made up a few years ago. When it becomes better documented, then it will be notable enough for inclusion. So far, there are less then four dozen Ghits about this game. Bearian (talk) 21:10, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - I fail to see how the removal of a unique game simply because it suffers from less notoriety than other games is really helping something that is supposed to be an encyclopaedia. The page is well documented and explains a *unique*, interesting game. Removing this article simply does not help anyone and is only a means to prevent people from attempting to find out the rules of a game. I would also be interested to see the citation on the "more drinking games than med students" comment.

 * Keep - Inclusion in a book about drinking games is not a reliable source? Also, "Each of the 100+ poker games can have its own page with rules, history, and strategy." should apply to drinking games. --Wicked247 (talk) 02:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
