We don't really have a speedy for something someone made up last week. This would be a good candidate. Non-notable game, unverified, etc. Drmies (talk) 00:53, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'd originally redirected it, but it's definitely made-up. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:16, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Totally non-notable. Why don't we have a CSD for this sort of thing? JamesBWatson (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I think we probably do have a CSD for this: {{db-hoax}}. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable; I don't think db-hoax applies in this case; if anyone ever actually played this and used the name, then it's simply insignificant and uninteresting rather than a hoax. It's the entries that say "here's this new game sweeping the world" that get speedied; this one seems pretty modest. Hairhorn (talk) 14:57, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I had applied that tag to an early version. That brief statement, which was impossible to verify, could be called a hoax. The creator removed that tag and expanded it, and that expanded version, it seemed to me, could not easily be called a hoax, which is why we're here. Drmies (talk) 17:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable game madeup one day. I agree this doesn't appear to be a hoax. That doesn't mean it's a subject we need to have an article covering. LadyofShalott 17:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am the creator of this page and it was not meant as a hoax in the slightest. I am new to wikipedia which is why the original tag of an early version if a one sentence line. I was merely testing. The page is expanded now and I hoped it would become a feature in which I could direct members of my club. I would then update this page with rules and winners. Please tell me what I could do if it doesnt meet your specifications. Owencolinadams (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:18, 17 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, which seeks to record information about subjects which have received significant coverage in established sources. It is not a free web host for a club to use as a way of posting information to its members. The answer to "what you could do" is to find somewhere more suitable to host your club's information, such as blogspot, or facebook. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
