Ride the Bus
One of the unsourced, and at this time externally unverifiable drinking game articles listed in a mass deletion earlier today (Articles for deletion/Circle of Death (drinking game)) Per the closing statement of this aborted mass-nomination, this is an individual relist of the article. -- Saberwyn 07:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Adding a request for verifiable sources to this article page would be a good way to start this process.  Not having verification isn't an automatic deletion criterion, being unverifiable is - an important distinction.  Before nominating an article for deletion, shouldn't the nominator at least research the article themselves, adding the sources if possible?  I haven't tackled notability as this is not the reason given for nomination, but all drinking game are cultural memes that have lasted in many cases for centuries and appear in various places in popular literature etc. Vizjim 11:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, probable mention in the BarMeister's Guide, coverage in the college newspaper The Daily Orange --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 13:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete because instruction manuals (like this) are one of the WP:NOTs. Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as how-to. Brian G. Crawford 21:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia is not paper; this is a sub page of the drinking game article.  JeffBurdges 15:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please wikipedia is not paper and this is notable Yuckfoo 01:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * keep this just needs to be sourced and a clean up. Dspserpico 17:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * weak delete Due to the point about this being an instruction manual. It seems to belong either in Wiktionary or perhaps as a two-sentence entry in "Drinking Games".Apollo 10:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
