Stand There and Take It No Matter What

I've declined a CSD request on this thanks to our old friend "hoax is not a speedy criteria". However, I've no doubt whatsoever this is either a hoax or a thing made up in school. If anyone can demonstrate otherwise, now's your chance... —  iride  scent  23:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

All, Stand There and Take it is a legitimate game that is known to many and is popular here on the beaches of Southern California. It has been around for years...longer than I can remember, and likely exists here due the year round weather for playing it. Will you see it sponsored by Gatorade? Not anytime soon, however that does not make it an invalid wikipedia submission. Its a grassroots game that is common to the area. Its similar in popularity to bean bag toss or beach bocce....all of which can be found everyday on the beaches here.

 * Except that there exists in literature outside of Wikipedia references to Tag and cornhole and bocce... your game shows no evidence that it is reported in reliable sources, and thus it is not a notable game. --Jayron32. talk . contribs  01:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Find some reliable, 3rd party sources that assert notability. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Legitimate. People in Colorado play a similar game with snowballs. Search yahoo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sand native (talk • contribs) 18:33, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A game pretty much identical to this was actually played in the Outrageous Fortune Christmas special telemovie. But never referred to by this name, and an appearance in a TV show is hardly grounds for supporting this article anyway. --Stormie (talk) 23:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
