The result was   redirect to Live action role-playing game. The consensus seems to be to redirect to live action role-playing game; this makes sense whether it's a poorly defined variant type of game, or an alternate term. DGG (talk) 09:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Live action gaming

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article describes a variant of live action role-playing game with no evidence of the notability of the variant. The name of the variant appears to be a neologism. Previous versions appeared to promote a group called "Live Action Gaming" for which there was likewise no evidence of notability, but the promotion of which may explain why this article was created.

 * Redirect to live action role-playing game. It might be a neologism, but for people unfamiliar with RPGs and LARPs it is a reasonable search term. A redirect would also mean we'd get the additional advantage of making recreation less likely. -Mgm|(talk) 09:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per MacGyverMagic. A redirect would be a better solution than a delete in my opinion, because it is plausible that someone would use the search term when trying to find the main article. FingersOn  Roids  20:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I have no problem with a redirect, if it's estabished here that an article under this name is not warranted but it's considered a plausible search term. However, as someone well-versed in larp, I've never heard "live action gaming" used as a synonym for larp and don't see any reason to expect it will be used much as a search term.

 * Delete I was going to say redirect to the correct terminology, but as an avid LARPer half a world away from Ryan Paddy I have also never heard this usage. The revision history statistics confirm that very few people (possibly all of them editors) are searching for this string. Of course, redirects are cheap. - Eldereft (cont.) 16:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per MGM, just to be safe... -Pax85 (talk) 07:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
