This article has been left with an unreferenced template since May 2010. Also, the article does not mention much notability. I am familiar with this game, but it's a street or school game, which doesn't show much notability.  JC  Talk to me My contributions 01:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Unsourced and fails to establish any sort of notability.  A search provides no reliable sources of the game, or at least none under this name.  Rorshacma (talk) 08:15, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: Folk games are not automatically non-notable, they're just sometimes harder to document because they aren't national sports with television coverage and Sports Illustrated cover stories. And "harder to document" doesn't mean "unverifiable" or "non-notable". That said, this appears to me to almost certainly be Chinese handball filtered through someone's borderline-WP:NFT "this is what we call it and how we play it where I live" filter; I've notified that article of this discussion, in case a merge is in order. I think a strong case could be made for merging that article, American handball, Butts up (the text of which needs a de-capitalization spree - we don't capitalize the names of non-trademarked games or sports), and other related articles, frankly.  They're all minor variations on the same theme. — SMcCandlish    Talk⇒〈°⌊°〉 Contribs. 02:12, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Subsequent Comment, I agree with you, however, this article can be merged with both, American handball and Chinese handball respectively. -- JC  Talk to me My contributions 04:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge with American handball. I was leaning toward delete as unverifiable, but a reasonable search immediately brings up this site; the page referenced reports this subject as another name for AH. The LinkedIn profile of the site makes the whole thing look less impressive. However, the large number of mentions and varied quality of the mentions during a search tend me away from asserting delete.  BusterD (talk) 14:28, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge per JCRules and my previous comments (some of it may be better merged into Chinese handball than American handball. I reiterate that Butts up and other related articles are also suitable for merging. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  03:10, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
