Case race

Completely unsourced drinking game of dubious notability. Contrary to WP:NFT and WP:NOTMANUAL as it is a step by step guide to playing the game. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:19, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Technically a second nom for this. It was in a massive, bundled nom in 2008. [1] Niteshift36 (talk) 06:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Definitely agree with nom about WP:NOTMANUAL. Has to go. No notability at all. Get Dumb 09:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete WP:NOTMANUAL doesn't really apply here as the article is detailing the rules of a game which is different than a step by step instruction on how to play. I don't think WP:NOTMANUAL was meant to apply to game rules as you can find many listings of rules for many different types of games presented in a way very similar to this article. I don't think this falls into WP:NFT either since this is a pretty well known game. All that said I still think it should be deleted due to it's lack of citations which suggest it may not be notable enough at the present time.Rcurtis5 (talk) 12:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Clarification: WP:NOTAMANUAL says "This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, game guides and recipes.". That is what I believe applies when I cite it. This is essentially a game guide and an instruction manual on the rules etc. Niteshift36 (talk) 12:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I agree this article should be deleted but I still don't think WP:NOTMANUAL applies and this should be deleted on the basis of notability. WP:NOTMANUAL seeks to prevent step by step guides and how-to's. WP:NOTMANUAL doesn't have anything to do with listing the rules and setup of a game in an encyclopedic way. Almost all articles that are about a game detail the rules and how to play it(example Ultimate Frisbee, I'm not making a WP:OTHERSTUFF argument but just pointing out the precedence for writing game articles includes a description of the rules and how to play). When WP:NOTMANUAL mentioned game guides I believe it is referring to walk-through type material related to video games and other lengthy discussions about play.Rcurtis5 (talk) 19:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No assertion of notability, no sources; fails WP:GNG. Could be included in an article listing all the things made up on the Internet, but not notable as a separate article. Johnuniq (talk) 09:55, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
