Koola

No reliable sources, no verifiability, no apparent notability; WP:MADEUP Accounting4Taste:talk 22:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Seriously? The only real links are to Facebook posts, and they're not only all the same link, but they--I mean it's a dead link (there should really be a speedy criteria for games). THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 23:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'd even go so far to say it could be a hoax or someething...--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment' also looks like self-promotion: primary article editor is User:Koola.i.am. Might be speedy because of that... is self-promotion a speedy?--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was bold (well, maybe just lazy) and tagged this for speedy deletion because I thought it was very much a case of WP:MADEUP without any claims to notability whatever, and felt that WP:SNOW might apply. But of course that isn't actually a speedy criterion. --bonadea contributions talk 09:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not a problem for me -- we agreed on the ultimate destination, it's just that the route was different. I've been stung before by not doing this sort of deletion to the letter, but you're right, it was pretty much impossible to find a justification for not deleting it.

DO NOT DELETE! Koola is a well known sport for the younger generation. Ask your kids about the game, they will tell you what it is. a facebook page is already set up, to delete this entry would be pathetic. a farce! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.158.164 (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I love Facebook, but I don't think you realize that a social networking site like that isn't a reliable source. And I'm surprised I'm the first one that noticed this article was created by User:Koola.i.am. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 18:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. per we don't need another silly homemade game article. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a British game hence why probably you 'Yanks' dont know much about it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.158.164 (talk) 16:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comment could be hmmm okay.. give us a reference.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:12, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Delete - no reliable sources to establish notabulity. -- Whpq (talk) 16:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC) (not a Yank)[reply]
Delete. Oh so this one of those its-British-you-wouldn't-understand jobbies? My arse it is. The Plutonium 27 household competitive sport that blends Operation! with pairs synchronised swimming was inspired by our British kitchen sink - using 86.139's reasoning it therefore deserves a Koola-complimentary article at least. You kids take your ball, go on home and consider putting your online dissemination skills to writing about something factual. Plutonium27 (talk) 21:57, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOTE. Clearly not notable, WP:RS also a issue here as well. -- Sk8er5000 (talk) 01:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
