No sourced assertion of notability, just an uncited "stir amongst the media". From the talk of merchandise and world champions with funny names, this seems pretty obviously WP:MADEUP. McGeddon (talk) 23:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete There is a band with this name, but all evidence suggests that the card game is a hoax. Mangoe (talk) 23:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless said "stir amongst the media" can be documented and added to this article... -- RoninBK _{T C} 07:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep How can you say that a game dosent exist?! This is illogical, just because you havn't hear of it dosn't mean i dosent exist —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nialljames (talk • contribs) 14:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC) — Nialljames (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Wikipedia policy requires that all information be verifiable. If we haven't heard of it, it means that we need proof that it exists. If what you say is true, and this is a media sensation, then surely you could provide some evidence of media coverage. If not, then we will have to conclude that this article is a hoax. -- RoninBK _{T C} 15:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete complete hoax. Nothing found googling. All Google News results are for the band (so much for the "stir amongst the media") Doc Strange^{Telepathic Messages}Strange Frequencies 15:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Card game appears to have been made up by article creator, cliams of its fame seem suspect at best. Edward321 (talk) 15:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• delete - consider speedy as hoax? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 17:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I think u'll find that it is a true card game cos we play it in college. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.68.240 (talk) 20:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC) — 81.103.68.240 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

WP:MADEUP means "made up in college one day" rather than "fictional". Until they hit the mainstream and get some coverage from newspapers, magazines or major blogs, things which are made up in college one day don't merit Wikipedia articles. --McGeddon (talk) 10:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
