Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Field crumpets (0th nomination)
Cute, but non-notable. We've had a couple of these made up sports before on VfD. Maybe we should start collecting them somewhere? A couple of them have sounded really fun. --Woggly 21:38, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. A search of a library New York Times 1851-2001 database yields Searching for "field crumpets" did not find any documents. A search of a New York Times 2000-present database yields "Sorry. There are no articles that contain all the keywords you entered." The website's citations for Crumpets in the news are not impressive. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:13, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- keep for now. If we delete this while people on different campuses are playing this preposterous game, we ought to reconsider the Eton_Wall_Game which is only ever played by Eton school pupils "on a strip of ground 5 meters wide and 110 meters long just beside a slightly curved brick wall...which was erected in 1717." --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 06:08, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Please, stop the "race to the bottom." The existence of inappropriate articles in Wikipedia should not be used as a reason for keeping other inappropriate articles, unless it can be shown that the article in Wikipedia is there as a result of a documented policy decision.

- Yes, let's delete Eton Wall Game, because a game played for three hundred years at a school attended by many of the most important people in British history is exactly the same as some badmition variation invented by two high school students in the midwest less than a decade ago.

- Delete. And the Eton_Wall_Game, it should be pointed out, has the Harry Potter connection. --Calton 15:51, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, and we're going to keep Shakespeare because of the "West Side Story" connection! :) --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 01:51, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Don't be ridiculous, we're keeping Shakespeare because of the Leonardo DiCaprio connection --Calton 21:18, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Mark Richards 01:44, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Incidentally, the text of the article is pretty much the same as the text here. Gamaliel 02:00, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Vanity. Indrian 18:42, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Why don't we make up a game, and put it on Wikipedia? It's called Delete the vanity articles --Improv 22:43, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Xtreme! 01:21, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
