Delete: falls under WP:MADEUP. — Rankiri (talk) 14:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete Fails our verifiability policy. Google hits on "lob ball" appear to describe a baseball/softball variant unrelated to the game the article describes. Sorry, but you can't just make up a game and stick it on Wikipedia. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete fails WP:MADEUP, WP:V, WP:N and WP:NEO. Highest Heights (talk) 15:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete per WP:Madeup. I think it's high time that a CSD:Madeup policy is created, at least for things like this which say In 9/10/08 it was made. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 15:58, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

:*That's been suggested and rejected several times at WT:CSD. If a subject can't be verified then it still needs a few more eyes on it to make sure others can't verify it either. IMHO "blatant unverifiability" should be grounds for "snow delete" at AFD but not "CSD". --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Delete obviously. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment It would work better on YouTube. I get the idea of playing on a court that is divided lengthwise into three sections, and each side has to stay out of the middle third. The obvious problem is that if sportscasters keep saying "third" it will eventually sound like "turd" (He stepped out of his tird and into da middle tird before da ball went into da opposite tird so da trow dudn't count..) In fact, I guarantee it will go viral if you can have the narrator say "turd" as much as possible while describing the action. Mandsford (talk) 20:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete per WP:MADEUP. The rules make a little more sense on this one than most new games on Wikipedia, but that does not make it any more notable. Eauhomme (talk) 04:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete per nom. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete - per WP:MADEUP. Note: the edit summary of the first edit (i.e. when it was created) reads, "Raised awairness on homemade game". DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 14:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
