Podex

No reliable sources, no Google hits. At best this appears to be an informal game played at a few schools, nearly all original research. Doesn't appear notable. JNW (talk) 23:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, regretfully I'd really love to find some sourcing so we could keep this. The game clearly exists and is of some importance to the schools that play it. But I found literally nothing at Google or Google News for either Podex or Puddocks. Of the references provided in the article, two are dead links, one requires registration to view, one mentions the game in passing as "a cross between cricket and baseball", one is original research, and one provides lots of nice photos of people playing the game, but no text. The discussion page reveals lively disagreement over the rules, which seem to vary from school to school. I'm afraid this fails both the notability and original research tests. --MelanieN (talk) 01:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
