Kwai Nyu

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Fiction about rugby.

Previously a re-creation of Kwai Nyu Rugby Club and deleted thanks to Articles for deletion/Kwai Nyu Rugby Club, this new article is independent (and thus should not be deleted as an improper re-creation of a deleted page). Shortly after its creation, it was "sourced" in part to www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Kwai-Nyu-Rugby-Club, which is merely a commercial scrape of WP's own, deleted "Kwai Nyu Rugby Club".

We're told that the game has spread throughout the Midwest and across North America. Amazingly for a game that has spread across North America, Google News has never heard of it.

I suggest that it's an invention and merely needs some salt. -- Hoary (talk) 00:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as something made up in school one day. Doesn't matter if that day was in 1956. There is no adequate evidence that it has progressed further than that since. DarkAudit (talk) 01:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Interestingly, An article on this was deleted at Conservapedia. I did not see anything that meets non trivial coaverage, nothing that smacks of notability. I saw few references unconnected with the Priory School in Saint Louis, Missouri. The article says, "Officially, Kwai Nyu is not recognized by Rugby Union or Rugby League organizations at this time. However, there have been numerous efforts in recent years to procure its recognition by mainstream sporting establishments." This tells me the subject has no significance broad enough for an article, though those connected with it would like it to. I would suggest a mention at the article on the school if I could find an article on the school.  Dloh  cierekim  03:53, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The school? If I remember right, something looking like a domain name for the school has been listed as a spammer. (Ah, take a look at these.) A coincidence? -- Hoary (talk) 04:13, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no reliable sources, no chance that any reliable sources are going to show up anytime soon. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as a variant of rugby that has not established notability with coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 14:20, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete the only references I can find for this are Wikipedia mirrors, and self-published facebook-type pages. No coverage in reliable sources.  Does not meet notability guidelines. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:03, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
