Wall ball

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

Contested prod of a non-notable game. Removing user claims the article is "notible [sic] enough to deserve the debate" of AfD, but both a Google and Google News search mostly point to a baseball term of the same name. Xenon54 (talk) 13:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep the article does need improvement, but anecdotally I remember the game being quite popular when I was younger. -Falcon8765 (talk) 18:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Really nothing more than an article about a number of WP:MADEUP games. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:29, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Week keep or Merge to Fives. I remember this and played at least 5 of the 100+ variations, it is related to Fives hence the suggested merge.

The reason for a weak keep is I worry that such an article will attract everyone to add their own variations. --Nate1481 07:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Week keep - I found a reference to an Australian schoolyard variant known as 'handball', it is included in a government promotion for physical activity. However the article is still prone to people adding their own made up stuff, but that isn't a reason to delete. Wongm (talk) 12:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
