Snow fort
This is a truly, truly fascinating article. Not. This is not even remotely encyclopedic. Who, to be honest, cares? Smoddy | Talk 22:47, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete It refers to an activity an encyclopedia doesn't really need to inform people about IMO. Inter 23:09, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * This may be true, say, for people who don't live in the tropics. - Keith D. Tyler  [ flame ]  22:02, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Just a stub right now, but I could see it being expanded on just like the sandcastle article.  Starblind 23:12, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Just because it needs a lot of work doesn't mean we shouldn't keep. --Daniel C. Boyer 00:02, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, memories of a Canadian childhood! Easily as important as a sandcastle, and integrally important to the playground game of snowball fights. It is linked among the "forms of recreation dependent on snow" on Snow. (Did you know that 'Humans seems to be the only animal that throw their snowballs? Pygmy chimpanzees have been seen carrying snowballs around, but never to throw them.') Keep! Samaritan 00:31, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, especially in its expanded form. Very informative. --Deathphoenix 06:27, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I remember in elementary school we weren't allowed to build snow forts, because we weren't allowed to have snowball fights, and one led to the other...Adam Bishop 06:30, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, snowforts are cool, and people should know everything possible there is to know about them. Wyss 06:53, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable. Maybe mention its relevance to childhood and pop-culture needs to be detailed (Calvin & Hobbes? The Dog That Stopped the War ?). &mdash; Saxifrage | &#9742; 06:59, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. (Insert standard comment about certain Wikipedians' repressed childhoods and/or lack of humor.)  ADH (t&m) 07:05, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject is not really notable and in a paper encyclopedia there would be no merit for an article. However this is not a paper encyclopedia, and the article is well written. 129.177.61.124 10:22, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand --Boothy443 10:24, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Chris 73 Talk 10:25, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Definite keep. Ah, memories. Don't forget the Donald Duck cartoons where he gets whomped good by his nephews in snowforts. Inky 05:07, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep (Insert funny and/or witty remark about snow/memories/childhood/brackets here) --RPharazon
 * Keep It's a common thing, and the article does it justice. --InShaneee 04:34, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
