Kistenlauf

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No assertion of notability or sources. It had been tagged for both, but tags taken down immediately by the article's creator without any meaningful further editing.  SilkTork  * SilkyTalk 13:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep This article has extensive counterparts in German and Austro-Bavarian languages, in addition to the word "Kastenlauf," which has no other meanings, returning over 10000 hits on Google. Thus, it should be kept, and I will endeavor to improve it in the future (as my German improves). In addition, I would also like to see the article in some way protected from future nominations for deletion, as the taggers seem never to first look at the explanation on the talk page. - Oreo Priest  14:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw it. I still think the article should be deleted. Google isn't the end all be all of notability, the article is unsourced... if there is an analog in a German wikipedia, ask someone to translate it across? Avruch Talk 14:36, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * First of all, I never removed the sources tag. Second, to say the (stub) article will be deleted if it has no sources is a ridiculous policy; there wouldn't be a single one left.
 * More importantly, however, I found a reference, so everything should be settled now. - Oreo Priest  14:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Which Google are you using, or this a deception tactic? I searched for both Kastenlauf and Kistenlauf and got less than 900 ghits for each. And in those ghits I saw only blogs and mirrors - nothing resembling a reliable source. This is very close to CSD A7, and we haven't yet had that explanation of notability.

 * I just checked both myself and am confused. I recall kastenlauf returning over 10000, though this is clearly not the case. I apologize. Regardless, several references to reliable sources have been found, and I believe this puts the matter to rest.- Oreo Priest  21:20, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep A power of wikipedia is that, unlike, say Encyclopedia Britannica, it also keeps record of people's silliness, if it is notable, widespread and well documented. Enjoy: Kastenlauf 2004; my favorite `'Míkka 00:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep I dunno much about deletion policy, but I support the argument of Oreo Priest, and certainly feel that this article should be retained and not deleted, although I feel a reference must be immediately found. K a r n a 01:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
