Russian Zilburs

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable made-up game lacking GHits and GNEWS. PROD and PROD2 removed by SPA.  ttonyb (talk) 15:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I propose a new speedy deletion category for novel campus drinking games. This would constitute the first example. 99.12.243.20 (talk) 15:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - It is not a campus drinking game. There is no alcohol involved.  This article is legitimate, i propose it stays --Tarheelrudy (talk) 17:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC) — Tarheelrudy (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment – It is still a non-notable made-up game lacking GHits and GNEWS.  ttonyb  (talk) 17:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Alcohol and venue aside, Wikipedia is not for games that you and your friends invented, per WP:MADEUP. 99.12.243.20 (talk) 17:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not for things that have just been made up. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 18:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Patently non-notable neologism. Article creator also appears to be the same person the article claims is second in the world and has made has made no other edits, so page appears to be a joke. Fenix down (talk) 20:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment She is the second in the world because the game is in its fledgling years and has not gained wide exposure as of yet, if it were a joke she would have made herself best in the world. It is most certainly not a joke Tarheelrudy (talk) 21:18, 3 January 2010 (UTC) — Tarheelrudy (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment Joke or not, aside from notability issues with the article, any individual creating an article in which they are a key element needs to address WP:NPOV, which does not appear to have been done hear, particularly regarding the tone of the article.

 * Keep I played this game after reading this wikipedia entry and it was enjoyable and i believe if this article is left up russian zilburs will become a widely popular game Pantherswin2010 (talk) 21:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC) — Pantherswin2010 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. 99.12.243.20 (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Keeping an article in the hope that it might one day become notable is not an acceptable course of action. Fenix down (talk) 11:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete The game will become popular? That indicates it isn't yet. Just another student invention (even without alcohol). Peridon (talk) 22:05, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no indication this is notable. another madeup game.  about time for a speedy delete category.   GB fan  talk 23:35, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - scarcely notable, and if I am wrong on that, then must I add that there are no reliable sources to prove notability. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email 00:33, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete but the reason it's not a speedy category is that just relying on one or two people to screen out what is or isnt worthwhile here has been unreliable--people tend to go by what they;ve heard of, & that's not a good way especially with children's games or other child-related things.    DGG ( talk ) 04:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment DGG, thanks for your explanation. I was half-joking when I proposed a new category above, but wouldn't a speedy deletion nomination for things recently made up, be it games or neologisms, need to adhere to the same standards as the other categories? In other words, Google checks and news hits would carry weight as they do for the bands, songs, biographies, etc., so not having heard of a game wouldn't be reason enough to nominate it. 99.12.243.20 (talk) 04:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - yet another game made up by a small group of friends -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
