Sweere-arse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't appear to be notable. The article's source is the only one I can find (in fact, the article seems to have been copied almost straight from it). Adam9007 (talk) 00:50, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete The article is a copy/paste copyvio of . I have tagged it CSD G12. J bh  Talk  01:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's a copyvio (copyright would have expired long ago if I'm not mistaken), but it's almost certainly not licensed for public use. Adam9007 (talk) 01:39, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I assumed the violation was from Scottish National Dictionary (1700–) which is where I found it but since it seems to be a quote there you probably are right. J bh  Talk  13:24, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I declined speedy deletion; the two versions do not seem to me to be a copy-paste or copyvio. The article says the name of a game amongst Scottish school children, in which two of them are seated on the ground, and holding a stick between them, endeavour each of them to draw the other up from the sitting posture. The heaviest in the posterior wins. The source says a game in which two people seated on the ground facing one another with feet pressed against feet, grasp a stick between them and tug so that one tries to pull the other to his feet. Those two versions are certainly different enough for Wikipedia's purposes. However, I favor deletion per this AfD process; the article is nothing more than a dictionary definition, with a single source and no indication that the game is notable. In a search I found nothing but Wikipedia mirrors. --MelanieN (talk) 19:16, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The source I linked says " a sport among Scottish children, in which two of them are seated on the ground, and, holding a stick between them, endeavour each of them to draw the other up from the sitting posture. The heaviest in the posterior wins the game. " in para. 3 note (3). It is attributed to C. Mackay Poetry and Humour (1882) p350 rather than C. MacKay A Dictionary of Lowland Scotch (1888).

 * Ah, I see! The copyvio detector tool led me to the other version and I missed this one. You are right, our article is a copyvio (as well as deserving to fail an AfD) and I will speedy-delete it. --MelanieN (talk) 22:56, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
