[edit] Robopound

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

Drinking game that seems to be non-notable outside of Princeton University where it originated. The external links point to Princetonian self-published pages, and a Google search for <robopound -wikipedia> does not turn up any non-Princetonian reliable sources that have written about the game. [1] Only results in Google News come from the Princetonians' newspaper. [2]

The previous nomination was here. No citation was provided by Plokloon for the "New Jersey newspaper" where this was supposedly mentioned; and the comment by infix glosses over the problem of the lack of independent, non-self published sources. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-19 22:22Z

• Keep. WP:AGF and WP:LOCAL. Mystache 22:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. WP:AGF has nothing to do with this discussion. For WP:LOCAL, the game should have been mentioned somewhere off campus. Who needs a WP:OR article about a silly drinking game? Sorry. YechielMan 00:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as textbook WP:MADEUP. CitiCat 04:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Quarters, as it seems to be a locally notable variation on that game, though not notable enough to merit its own article. Krimpet (talk) 05:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no WP:RS indicating notability, hence no merge to the more accurately sourced Quarters article. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, per above. Neologism out of Princeton unknown elsewhere. --Valley2city^₪‽ 07:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Anally retentive way to get drunk. --Infrangible 01:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
