Slingshot paintball

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Arguably non-notable variant of paintball, cited only by a booklisting on Amazon.com. Searches for other sources could not find anything of substance. Plausible contender for a redirect to Paintball. Jwoodger (talk) 04:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: A better redirect might be Paintball variations. Jwoodger (talk) 04:55, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

 * That's not an argument for keep. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 10:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - the current article has no reliable sourcing, nor can I find any reliable sourcing. Note that the one book used as a reference attributes the invention of the game to "Ron M. Smith", who just happens to be the author of the book, which happens to be self-published througn Lulu.  Far from "harmless", this article fails verifiability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Also note the username of the creator of this article - User:Ronysmith. -- Jwoodger (talk) 23:44, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete one self published ref from the inventor of the sport. --Leivick (talk) 06:25, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Slingshot --Chuunen Baka (talk  • contribs) 14:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Smerg to Paintball variations. Seems like that would be the most compatible article for a simple solution. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 10:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 'comment - What would you merge? The sourcing is to an unreliable source. -- Whpq (talk) 12:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Knee-jerk reaction? :) Unless any other sources are found, deletion would be the best alternative. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No coverage in reliable sources, even in passing.  Therefore, no need for a redirect.  Eluchil404 (talk) 06:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
