Speedy deletion nomination of Nerd football

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Nerd football, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. noq (talk) 12:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I note your protest at the deletion of your article. If you wish, you may quibble at the use of the word "hoax", and I will, if you wish, concede that the game is played. It remains obvious that this is an informal ball game played at one location in an unstructured format; I think, from reading the article, at a school where it it is subject to arbitary disciplinary and abrupt termination. To attempt to describe it as an encyclopedically valid topic is not supportable, and the word "hoax" could be justified in this context. Either way, the article is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. In my view. If you wish to appeal this decision, you have the right to go to DRV and do so. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 16:28, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
