Obviously it is real, but notability comes into play - claims to have an article in Newsweek, but that gives a dead link. Moglex 21:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 10:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The only sources I could find were either boomershot.org or a mention of the sport using that web page as a reference. Doesn't seem notable enough. --GorillaWarfare ^talk 11:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep I don't know why my predecessors in this discussion didn't see this, but the links to Newsweek and Outside are active and point to published articles. The annual event is properly sourced and seems (barely) notable. Shalom ^Hello 01:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep with major cleanup - When you search for the article on Newsweek, an account password is required to view the archived article. Since you have to pay for that account, I would think the site is infringing on Newsweek's copyright to the article by displaying it publicly, and we're not helping by linking to it. The other two secondary sources seem ok (although I didn't watch the video, I was expecting another article), which does make it notable. It needs a helluva lot of work, though.
