The flag game

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article fails verifiability, since the only reference given is a blog posting. Accordingly, the absence of coverage fails to establish the notability of this game. Wikipedia is not for things made up in the youth hostel or before leaving university for summer break. Finally, the culture section borders somewhere between original research and POV. —C.Fred (talk) 18:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Non-notable game per WP:N and unverifiable per WP:V. Mh29255 (talk) 18:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral per Google results, although whether they are reliable sources is up for discussion. Appears to be a meme, notability is dubious at best. --Solumeiras talk 18:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Counting Google hits is not research. Research involves actually reading the things that Google finds.  Have you read any of the things that your search found?   The first 30 have nothing to do with this subject at all, 18 of them being about capture the flag, and provide no basis whatsoever for your conclusion that there's a meme of some sort.

 * Delete, fails WP:V that I can tell. Yes, backpackers collect flag patches, which are supposed to represent the countries they've visited, but I suppose not always. The sex angle sounds more like a joke. I've been in an international organization and there is a lot of semi-competitive trinket collecting just for the heck of it. How one could distinguish this from that is beyond me. --Dhartung | Talk 19:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as not even notable amongst backpackers. Bearian&#39;sBooties (talk) 22:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is insufficiently documented and is not a focus of sustained reporting or scholarship; thus, an encyclopedia article is not possible. — Encephalon 13:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as original prodder. Unverifiable.-- Kateshort forbob  23:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
