[edit] Circle of Death (beer)

This binge-drinking article failed speedy because Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day is not a criterion. Failed {{prod}}. Now at AFD, trifecta complete. Delete. stillnotelf is invisible 05:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, interesting, but not notable --TBC??? ??? ??? 06:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable. Nice photo though.--Blue520 06:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I decided not to speedy this as there was no relevant criteria. Whether there ought to be is another issue. I added a prod notice but it was removed. On its talk page, it is claimed it was invented in 2002 and is popular on Carnegie Mellon. That falls well below our notability criteria. Capitalistroadster 06:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm the one who nominated it for speedy deletion. On further thought I see that Capitalistroadster is correct in saying that it doesn't meet speedy criteria, but one way or another it really ought to be deleted. There are plenty of drinking games, and I'm sure more are invented every day by frat boys hellbent on getting alcohol poisoning. There's nothing at all notable about this particular "game". --Icarus 06:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 07:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete Other games are listed on the site, and just because some of you have biases or the like does not mean this should be deleted. --67.171.67.94 07:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • This article is being considered on its own merits. If you do not believe that another article meets the various policies and guidelines of this site, in particular the ones concerning verifiability by reliable, external, third party sources, then nominate them. Those articles will in turn be considered on their own merits. -- Saberwyn 10:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The other games in this encyclopedia are (or should be), notable and verifiable. --BillC 07:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable --Matt 14:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Highly highly played drinking game!!!! This is not something that was just made up in school one day, this is one of the most popular college drinking games out there. (And I say this coming from a past #1 party school) ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 15:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • However, it's very different from the Circle of Death that already has an article. That one may be notable, but this one isn't. --Matt 15:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Duly noted. I was thinking of the other article. In that case, I change my vote to Strong Delete. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 07:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. RGTraynor 16:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
