Page was deleted back in 2006 and looks to have been recreated with a ton of unsourced or primary sourced detail, citing no reliable independent sources at all. Some weak paintball-specific sources are available, but almost all the significant coverage looks to be connected to the event/park or very low quality. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 19:55, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. Reliable source coverage does exist:  articles from The Oklahoman, Fayetteville Observer , KOTV (in Tulsa) , Reuters , and even a photo feature from TIME . Described as "the mother of all Scenario Games" in a Sports Illustrated article about paintball.   --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:41, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I looked at just the Time and Reuters sources provided by Arxiloxos and accept them as establishing notability. -- do  ncr  am  23:51, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not much sourcing in the article, but clearly notable per Arxiloxos' sources. I just copied the source to the article's Talk page. Alsee (talk) 15:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'll go ahead and Withdraw this. Admittedly, I nominated this while down the Chaneyverse rabbithole and was predisposed to being cynical. Chalk it up to WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. &mdash;  Rhododendrites <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk  \\ 15:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
