 * Delete - Non-notable game, "invented in 2009 at North Royalton, Ohio". WP:OR, WP:NOTHOWTO, WP:GAMEGUIDE, and possibly quite a few others as well. Take your pick.  Yinta ɳ   23:59, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Any game that claims to have been invented in 2009 is suspicious. This one has no assertion of notability whatsoever. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Hard to figure this out from the narrative. Demonstrate it on YouTube, come back after 1,000,000 views.  Mandsford (talk) 00:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete It fails Wp:OR (possibly - well, there's no references), Wp:N and Wp:NFT. The article's first line - "Spike ball is a game invented in 2009 at North Royalton, Ohio" - doesn't do itself any favours. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  09:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete There are no sources. I'm only going weak delete because it seems interesting. -- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  23:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * These things are never kept, but I'm curious how it's supposed to work-- it sounds like foursquare, but you get a point for throwing a ball into a one foot square-- how far back are the 3-player teams supposed to stand?  Most of these invented games would get more attention if the inventors would just video them and put it on YouTube instead of trying to describe it on Wikipedia.  For all I know, there's a YouTube Group on "Games deleted from Wikipedia".  Mandsford (talk) 01:07, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
