Contested PROD. Non-notable local variation of a game. Unreferenced. Radiant chains (talk) 07:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, no evidence of notability. Mintrick (talk) 20:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok I dont know how this works but I have to say that there is no reason to delete this thread as it is totally true and accurate. Additionally it is not a non notalable local variation of a game, it was a totally new game still being played today. It is an example of today's youth getting together and learning how to organize themselves, govern themselves, and resolve conflict with absolutely no adult influence. LONG LIVE SOUTH EUCLID SPEEDBALL! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.183.164 (talk) 20:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

This game is very different than other Speedball games out there. As author of this article, I feel very strongly about this. Thousands of students in the Northeastern Ohio area know about this game and it still continues to be played years after the founders have left for college and have not been able to keep the tradition alive. It is regional, but so are all of the wikis for local television channels, city pages (including south euclid and lyndhurst), awful morning radio programs, and even third rate, cable access local celebrities. This is much more relevant and worthy of a wiki than numerous others. Don't delete this; it is worthy of the free encyclopedia.
