 * Delete (nominator): Homemade sport, not in the least notable. Zsero (talk) 23:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Great idea. Keep the article.  Bigkid72 (talk)
 * Sorry, you have to give a reason why it is notable. -- Zsero (talk) 00:01, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not the place to post info on the game you made up at school today. --  role player 00:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - WP:NEO, WP:NFT. The article was tagged for G1 and should be deleted accordingly. LeaveSleaves talk 03:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete its G1 nonsense crap, get rid of it IMMEDIATELY JBsupreme (talk) 03:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it is not G1, nor does it fit any of the other CSD. There's nothing much wrong with it except that it's not at all notable, and that's not a CSD.  So it has to go through AFD.  -- Zsero (talk) 04:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have faith that common sense (that isn't all that common around these parts) will prevail. JBsupreme (talk) 05:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete complete and total trash, editor admits to trying to use Wikipedia to propagate it. He'll skulk away when we see we don't stand for that kind of nonsense and it'll be the end of it. JuJube (talk) 05:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Please don't bite the n00bs. The editor seems to be a 9th-grader. If we're kind to him, he may turn out to be a valuable Wikipedian.  This article must go, but let's not be nasty about it, and let's definitely encourage him to find more appropriate topics to write about.  -- Zsero (talk) 06:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete I originally tagged this as 'nonsense' when checking new pages yesterday. I stand by this decision and believe it should be speedily deleted.-- Myosotis Scorpioides  12:18, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, to call it nonsense as defined in WP:CSD would be to tell a blatant lie. -- Zsero (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under G11 (advertising) if nothing else-- see the author's comment on the article's Talk page: "And I want it to spread. It'll become a cultural phenomenon. And Wikipedia could be the reason. Just keep it. Let the knowledge of "plays" spread." In short, it's not notable, and it's author wants to use Wikipedia to make it notable-- no no no! -- Mwanner | Talk 13:11, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no. It's not advertising an "entity", and it would not "need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic". If the sport it describes were notable, the article as it stands would be a good start.  So no WP:CSD.  There's nothing wrong with using WP to advertise something, so long as the article on its own merits being in an encyclopaedia.  -- Zsero (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per everyone but article creator. Edward321 (talk) 14:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - made up --T-rex 16:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, every game is made up. The problem with this one is that it hasn't yet spread beyond one playground.  If it ever does catch on, it will be a valid subject for WP.  -- Zsero (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete please. Now I'm embarrassed. Zsero, however, gave me a good idea.  I'll get the Promoter to write about it.  Then it'll be notable. Bigkid72 (talk) 22:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
