The Atlas Games
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This article makes some fairly extraordinary claims, with little evidence to back them up. Without anything better than the article creator's own website, delete. OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:48, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: Author claims on his talk page that there are sources from NYPost, etc, and I've suggested that he add them (And I'll change vote to Keep if relevant references appear). I've also suggested that he not shotgun his associated category across all relevant events, but that's a different issue. Lomn 17:21:17, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
 * delete. does not deserve an article - nor a separate category (Category:The_Atlas_Games).  I can't verify any of the sources (don't have newspaper descriptions) but this site does not look at all professional and since the article is submitted by User:Atlasgames it looks suspisous.  Website also uses wikipedia content without credit. johnSLADE (talk) 19:02, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Still, it sounds like pie in the sky that will probably never get off the ground. And they charge the athletes to participate, according to the FAQ on their website. Delete until there are some news articles in mainstream news outlets. Zoe 21:29, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
