Removal of content

The Wikipedia Host has asked that we 'clean up' this article and add as applicable to the scant knowledge so far placed on this topic. I would like to know why the entry on the wall game on a history of official competition on it was removed some days ago ... by the person who removed it?? You may write privately, if you wish, to Dr City, at address: {email address removed} Thank you. (The immediate - above - is a temporary entry only, awaiting address. Thank you) Denidowi

Cross-post from Denidowi

I removed the 'history of a official competition' as:

I could not find any references to the "VICTORIAN VEEBALL ASSOCIATION".
I could not find the "establish[ed] formal rules" of said association, and
I could not find any references to any of these competitions.

Wikipedia relies on Verifiability and cannot allow Original research as such, until there is a reliable source that discusses the 'Victorian Veeball Association', the article should not include this.

I understand that the nature of an article on a playground game is unlikely to have many sources so I have tried to leave as much information that is non-contentious -- I believe that association is unbelievable.
