Kings (drinking game)


NN drinking game without citations, references, links. No proof it exists. Also, it's more of a Wikibook, in its instructional listing format. -- Zanimum 18:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Totally Unverified/original research. Wikipedia is not a game guide. -- I sl a y So lo mo n  |  t a l k  19:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and I take a drink. -Markeer 21:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment "Kings"+"drinking game" gets over 76,000 Google hits, with 438 uniques out of the first 1,000. Also, it's the only drinking game that I've ever seen played at my college. Thus, I'm not necessarily arguing for keeping the article, but I am saying that it's possible this game has some notability (or has, at least, achieved widespread play). -- Kicking222 00:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Citations available in The Best Drinking Game Book Ever and The Complete Book of Beer Drinking Games.  Remove the instructions and you have a perfectly viable stub. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Then please, go ahead an cite them. --  Zanimum 17:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Oh my gosh, this is a real game. I played this approximately every weekend in college and at many other colleges as well and many many people under age 30 who have gone to college in the US will at least be aware of it.  I know that's not a reason in and of itself to keep the article but it says to me that there have got to be sources out there to use.--Dmz5 06:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but please make appropriate citations. StayinAnon 17:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 13:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep and cleanup because sources were presented. Remove anything related on "how to play" since Wikipedia is not a game guide. --Wafulz 16:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs sources and major cleanup, (mainly, the game guide removed), but otherwise, yes, this is a quite popular college drinking game. Wavy G 16:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is a well known game, which has many related offshoots, that go by slightly different names. Nlsanand 20:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Question. Why are so many users insisting that the rules be removed?  I mean, it seems to me that an article about a game (which is notable and verifiable in its own right) is incomplete unless there is at least a cursory description of how you play it.--Dmz5 00:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between describing the rules of a game and instructing people how to play it. --Wafulz 04:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, clean up Okay, I believe this is a real game (no I don't play it, I'm underage!) because of others who say it is real. This should be cleaned up, remove "how-to" stuff, and etc.  K yo cat  ¿Qué tal?♥meow! 00:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
