Khar-polis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No sources found. Zero citations for 16 years. External link is a YouTube video called "KHARPOLICE 2" purporting to show "Iranian men playing Kharpolis" at Cachuma Lake, California, in 2010. (And the only comment on the video is "CHINCHE AL AGUA" which I guess is supposed to verify that the Mexican game is the same as the Iranian game.) Either this is WP:OR or possibly even WP:HOAX.

Delete Previous AfD in 2008 addressed only WP:NOTGUIDE accusations and did not address the lack of sourcing. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the only edits by the creator were to create and crosslink this article at 17:25, 29 September 2008. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:39, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment one can find pictures of this game online, such as at [1], so I would exclude a hoax. I assume reliable sources, if they exist, would be only available in Farsi language. Broc (talk) 15:48, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete: Not a WP:HOAX, but since there are no sources, this fails WP:GNG and looks like WP:OR to me. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:48, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
