Quadball

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

Contested Prod, removed with the comment "This game is notable. It can be viewed at Quadball.org, has a history spanning decades, and has been played by hundreds of players. Also, if curling gets a page then Quadball deserves at least 10...". I am really not seeing the notability needed to keep this page and, in particular, there is a lack of good secondary sources.

this is not made up, all students and faculty of Phillips Exeter Academy will attest to its existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.75.66 (talk) 03:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not really what WP:MADEUP says. I am sure that it exists. However, Wikipedia isn't the place for articles about novel games etc.. that a group of people created one day. If it received widespread coverage in reliable sources, then that's fine. However, I could find nothing that substantiated it's notability.

 * Thwacking, Meatstomping Delete: A G-search for "Quadball" + "Phillips Exeter" turns up a titanic nine total hits, which consist of this article, three photos on an academy website photo album, and five citations on Myspace pages or mirrors.  More non-notable it is not easy to get.  Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day.   RGTraynor  15:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
