Contested prod of a non-notable game. Removing user claims the article is "notible [sic] enough to deserve the debate" of AfD, but both a Google and Google News search mostly point to a baseball term of the same name. Xenon54 (talk) 13:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for a weak keep is I worry that such an article will attract everyone to add their own variations. --Nate1481 07:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Week keep - I found a reference to an Australian schoolyard variant known as 'handball', it is included in a government promotion for physical activity. However the article is still prone to people adding their own made up stuff, but that isn't a reason to delete. Wongm (talk) 12:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
