Wanker! (drinking game)

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

Quite explicitly a Wikipedia is not for things created in school one day violation, this non-notable game was indeed created at university by three teachers this year. Fails WP:V.  RGTraynor  13:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Mind-blowingly non-notable. Careful Googling this thing, though. Blueboy96 14:06, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete After a brief search on google i did not find enough sources to this game so we can consider it as not notable and also as per the editor who nominated this article for deletion, the article does not pass WP:V. Kalivd (talk) 14:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I have not found any reliable sources on this game, and thus I have concluded that this article does not meet WP:N, or WP:V, and I believe it probably breaks WP:OR. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 14:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * comment there is a reference given for the dutch newspaper De Morgen but subscription is required to view it so i'm not sure how to proceed here. Jessi1989 (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, despite the "source" which is in Dutch and available only to subscribers of De Morgen. If that's the only source, that's still non-notable for me. I also fail to see why the only source for a drinking game invented by English teachers at a British university should be a Dutch newspaper. Huon (talk) 14:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It became popular among students in Holland through the game's facebook page.
 * Delete it doesn't even have the correct rules. Obvious hoax (sic). Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * These are the correct rules. Care to explain the rules you're thinking of? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PLUSChelmo (talk • contribs)
 * not really. AfD isn't the place for me to publish the rules to my game that I invented at least 3 years prior to this one which happens to have the same name anymore than it is a place for this also non-notable variant. Although, I suppose in the spirit of cooperation I should point out that shots of whiskey or vodka are the original drink and not beer.Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Which means that we aren't speaking of the same game; therefore the rules ARE correct.
 * I think you're missing the actual point (not to mention the sarcasm, irony, and a whole lot of other stuff). The game isn't remotely notable (just like none of the other versions of drinking games that people see fit to call "Wanker" are notable). Please read this,  this,  this, and  this to understand my point from a purely policy and guideline perspective. Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I was just yanking your crank, geezer. It IS surprising, however, that 9/10 of the drinking games involving a die do not have notable sources either. Perhaps they should be put up for deletion, too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PLUSChelmo (talk • contribs) 16:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No "perhaps" about it. If they are unnotable, unverifiable, etc than they should be here but, at the moment they aren't. Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:15, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, then. I'm gonna get busy. talk 16:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You may wish to read WP:POINT first. You don't want people to misunderstand your reasoning. And make sure you check out the ones I linked to above as well. Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFT.  iMa tth ew (talk) 21:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. OhNo itsJamie Talk 22:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete complete and total junk. JuJube (talk) 23:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
