Silent Football

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Giant, barely-referenced, jokey article about a game with no indication of notability per WP:GNG. I can find no coverage of it online in WP:RS, just a few jokey-sounding blogs. The whole thing might be a hoax or a joke along the lines of Mornington Crescent (game), but if not, then there's no indication that it merits an entire article.

 * Delete - Not notable, not verifiable, and violates WP:NOT -- it's basically a detailed instruction manual.Glendoremus (talk) 07:44, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Retain - Verifiable and widely practiced/taught at youth religious and secular gatherings. Secondary sources are available from church-community publications, instructional guides provided by regional youth-group leaders etc. Earliest online reference dates back 22 years. When I have time I will update the article with some more appropriate and careful citations.
