I came across this article while editing shtick, and saw that it was lacking in references. I decided to see if I could find some, since it seemed interesting. After a while on Google, I can find no references to this game's existence beyond this article (and mirrors of it) and the "official website" that is linked. And after a while spent investigating the claims of the official website, I find its authenticity to be dubious. For example, it claims that, "In Sydney, Australia, they have held World Pan-Pacific Schtick Championships multiple times since December 2001," but Google returns no hits on "World Pan-Pacific Schtick Championships" at all. Likewise, there are claims that it was "featured" at a Washington State University Ultimate tournament, but the website for that tournament makes no mention of it. After reading the History of Shtick page and seeing the prominent position of photos of a specific group of friends, I have concluded that this is at best non-notable, and at worst, something someone made up one day.

 * Delete "Official site" is a Wordpress blog, tending to support WP:NFT rationale. (By the way, given the rampant kneejerk NN noms lately, I'm so refreshed to see a well thought out nom I could kiss you...) -- RoninBK T C 00:00, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Schtop lack of references beyond an official site doesn't look good, so delete. Mandsford (talk) 02:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - could not find anything further either. Risker (talk) 21:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - either an outright hoax or totally non-notable. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  16:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
