[edit] Field hack

Field hack (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete. No evidence of notability. Seems to be a WP:HOAX and WP:MADEUP. In fact, the article itself states, "The game rules, for field hack, were written by J. Micah Ferguson, a student of Texas State University–San Marcos, in the Fall of 2006." By looking at the article history, one learns that this individual is also the person who created the article.

• Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Tx17777 18:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete A search of Google and Ask.com both using the terms "Field hack" and "Field hack sport" reveals no entry aside from this article. The term "Field hack" seems to be real, relating to programming/coding, but I found no evidence that this article is verifiable. Additionally, a search of the person's name, J. Micah Ferguson, revealed no relevant articles or pages. ^Ariel♥Gold 19:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, but I sure wish it was! It may have been made up one day, but it looks like a lot of fun and surprisingly well thought out. (I think it may have borrowed some rules from another game that I've come across.) Nonetheless, no sources given, and no relevant ghits. Darn! Realkyhick 20:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I don't think it's a hoax (WP:AGF), but it is fairly obviously something made up in school (or University) one day by someone who clearly doesn't have much understanding of Wikipedia policy, and as such falls a long way short of WP:N and WP:V. Iain99 22:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, canonical example of WP:MADEUP. Chris Cunningham 08:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Iaian99, and as original research. Bearian 00:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
