Kirunaball

Contested PROD - in fairness to the editors of the article, it would be best to discuss it at AfD. That said, I would argue that article does not appear to meet general notability guidelines. Shirt58 (talk) 11:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. As the original PRODer, I don't think this sport/game is notable at this time. However, the authors suggest that it may well be taken up at the university level, and so I'm happy to have a wider discussion here. If nothing else, it might help the authors establish what makes a sport notable (I found policy articles on established sports and their participants, but I didn't find a specification of what makes a sport itself notable). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - as this game was only invented 11 days ago, it is most unlikely to be notable yet. In the absence of any special guidelines we fall back on the GNG and ask, is there "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? And no, there is none at all, even the one reference in the article does not mention it. JohnCD (talk) 14:41, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
