New Zealand Handball

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

Non-notable schoolyard game with no formal rules or structure. No sources and not likely to ever be any. Risk of confusion with the Olympic sport of the same name. Article claims to differ from Australian Handball (played with a tennis ball) by being played with a tennis ball! dramatic (talk) 22:29, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Four square or Four square regional in that case.- gadfium 05:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable schoolyard game, no sources to speak of. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Four square, of which this is clearly a variety (it's usually called four square here in NZ in fact - I've never heard it called anything else). Grutness...wha?  00:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Four square - I've played this in several parts of New Zealand with various age groups and never heard it called anything other than four square - even when there are eight or 12 squares. At the Otago high school I went to "handball" was synonymous with fives. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 22:18, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
