Rasketball

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

This does not appear to be a notable sport. It was prodded, but an IP editor removed the prod tag as well as a notability tag (the latter of which I had added). Aleta  Sing 18:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks you, I appreciate your comments. Maybe when the sport has grown some more and it is easier to find references, I will re-post it. --Polishphysicist (talk) 19:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It seriously sounds like a fun way to lose teeth, but just isn't notable at this time, via the WP:notability policy. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 00:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. As I understand it, rasketball is a pretty popular regional sport. It's not exactly ubiquitous yet, but it is a pretty big deal in Rochester, NY especially, the rest of New York and into Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere. 04:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.224.17 (talk)
 * Are there reliable sources that can be used to demonstrate WP:notability of rasketball? Aleta  Sing 13:51, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like pure NFT to me. Sgroupace (talk) 09:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as NFT, and possibly a hoax. None of the cited sources mentions the word 'Rasketball'. AlexTiefling (talk) 15:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. People say the moon landing was a hoax.
 * Yes, but there are documented reliable sources for that. Are there for rasketball? Aleta  Sing 19:03, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. The sport is not a hoax, but there are no known documented sources.  The sport is growing in popularity still and someday will likely have numerous sources for reference.  I am not a creator of the sport, but have played it.  I am new to Wikipedia though and was unfamiliar with its guidelines regarding page creation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polishphysicist (talk • contribs) 01:55, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Yet another sport/game that only has a few dozen people playing it. No sources, no notability. <b style="color:#8080ff;">  SIS </b>  21:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
