Uni boarding

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I had Originally Listed under CSD, but now feel that it no longer fits that Criteria. Fails WP:N, even the creater has said it's a new sport that has no popularity.  SKATER  Speak. 04:42, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article asserts its own lack of notability. Hairhorn (talk) 05:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, something made up one day by a bunch of bored kids, by the look of it. No third-party sources, surprisingly enough.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:19, 16 May 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete per previous 2 users. Dalejenkins | 11:19, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete. Its not harming anyone by leaving it here. Why does it matter if it is popular or not. There are tons of wikipedia articles that no one ever reads but they are still here. It'll get popular. Everything else that we've done has become a big deal in Lee's Summit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uni4life (talk • contribs) 16:44, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I attempted to do a good faith search for any indication that Uni boarding exists outside of a group of friends in Lee's Summit.  The first 50 hits from Google for the phrase "uni board half skateboard" did not return any relevant hits.  Also, it's hard to take an article seriously when the first draft includes the phrase "sucked his d***".  --Smiller933 (talk) 17:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete. Living in Missouri, and attending Hickman Mills High School a school outside of the KC area (Lee's Summit is inside the KC area), I can attest to the fact that the uni boarding or "revolt on skateboarding via uni boarding" trend is catching on. Recently my friends and I have been going to skate parks to practice uni boarding and have shown aggression towards "skateboarders" and in response to a previous comment, the phrase "sucked his d***" is and should be included because it is the slang used by uni boarders (at least at hickman and apparently lee's summit). This article should be allowed legitimacy in Wikipedia. As far as I'm concerned, uni boarding is more real than Tom Cruise and many other articles, I have heard of them and seen their picture, but I have EXPERIENCED uni boarding and it is real. (my favorite trick is the melon). --billywinkler (talk) 17:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * We are not claiming that "Uniboarding" is not a real sport, however if you would take the time to please read Our guidelines on notability You will see it fails them and such shouldn't be an article. I'm sure it's a very fun sport. It just doesn't deserve an article as of yet. Oh and how is Tom Cruise not a real person?-- SKATER  Speak. 00:18, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Majorclanger (talk) 11:10, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete as failing WP:V as well as WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 15:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above; literally a non-notable activity made up one afternoon that hasn't gone anywhere. Matt Deres (talk) 03:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete. Being from the state of Washington I have not yet experienced uni boarding but I stumbled across this page looking for an article about "uni ball" but this came up on the drop down pane. I have read this and it seems to be a perfectly relevant article. Regarding a previous post he was not denying the fact that Tom Cruise is a real person but stating that he had never witnessed him in real life like he had uni boarding; not detesting the reality of Tom Cruise but the lack of reality and recognition that is given to uni boarding. This seems like a fun sport and I cannot wait to break my old skateboard in half and try it with my friends. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BryceOdemon (talk • contribs) 23:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Your missing the point Bryce, this article fails Our guidelines of what should be included. Just because you've experienced something doesn't mean it should have it's own article. -- SKATER  Speak. 00:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
