Rummage

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject is a sport recently made up by a group of elementary school students. Article is unreferenced. Their creativity is to be commended, but this clearly does not meet any criterion for inclusion including the general notability guideline. PROD was contested by author/other related contributors.

 * Delete according to WP:MADEUP. The article is well-written and interesting, but Wikipedia is not the place to promote a new sport.  If this game catches on and is described in depth in reliable sources, then the article can be recreated at that time. Now is not the time.  Cullen328 (talk) 03:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Perhaps you're more familiar with the cheese-tossing variant, but the game could be played just as easily with yogurt or any other dairy product for that matter. --MoonLichen (talk) 04:58, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Request of MoonLichen: Please explain how your recommendation to "Keep" is based on any Wikipedia policies or guidelines? Thank you. Cullen328 (talk) 05:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. As noted by the Cullen328, WP:MADEUP applies to stuff like this. It is great that they are creative enough to come up with this, but for now it is not notable. On a side note, I think that a similar sport actually does exist under a different name. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:32, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Suggest redirect to jumble sale, which is probably what anyone searching for "rummage" is looking for. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:45, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I hate to bite newbies, but this needs to be redirected as suggested to Jumble sale; it's a valid search term. Bearian (talk) 16:41, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

 * This sounds like a very interesting game, but I'm still going to have to say delete per WP:MADEUP. On a side note, "Students in Melinda Heights" don't qualify as references.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 23:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

 * "We" developed this game? That's the main problem. Please read WP:MADEUP (and while you're at it, WP:COI).  Erpert  Who is this guy? 03:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
