NN sport; looking at the citations the only ones that show the slightest sign of independence appear to be fictional. This was deleted in 2006 (see AFD). Mangoe (talk) 17:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

::Keep or Move' back to my user space. This article was originally in my user space so i could work on it with out it being deleted. The independent sources are not fictional. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RockerballAustralia (talk • contribs) 00:20, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Delete, I cannot find any reliable third party sources discussing this sport. Although the article seems to have been created in good faith it is just not notable yet. Mah favourite (talk) 07:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Delete: I don't like seeing pages created in Good faith deleted but the sport isn't notable enough. So naturally there is no sources to verify the article. Perhaps the page's creator can make a free website [https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2F&service=jotspot&passive=true&ul=1 here] using Google Sites.

Delete per WP:MADEUP. Even the picture in the article underscores that this is just some friends playing around in a backyard (or maybe the park). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 04:11, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
WP:MADEUP does not apply. offline sources exist. An example being "Rockerball Rules. 1. Sunshine Coast Grammar School. September, 2008." I'm trying to locate a copy of the rules I copied/took--RockerballAustralia (talk) 04:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Delete - an offline source like somebody having written down the rules is not enough to show notability. The relevant sentence from WP:MADEUP is: "you have to persuade someone else that it's important first – and that someone has to think it's sufficiently important to write a book, a newspaper or magazine article, or an academic paper on your idea."

Delete: Per WP:MADEUP. Joe Chill (talk) 16:21, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Delete, a game made up while on holiday on Straddie, by all indications. Not enough non-trivial third party coverage to indicate notability, I'm sorry. Would not object to article being Userified if desired. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC).
