The result was speedy delete (G3) and salt. The last version was substantively similar to the previously speedied versions. The author, GoobletovMedia (talk · contribs), and the author of the first two versions, Ed1992ed (talk · contribs), have both been blocked indefinitely. Blueboy 96 22:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Goobletov[edit]

Contested prod. Two-time speedied G3, this article was rewritten so that now the author admits this is a brand new game. Per WP:SCRABBLE, now is not the right time for a Wikipedia article on it. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:04, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Could this be anything but a hoax, nonsense, vandalism? With the claim that a country club wants to adopt it? No attempts to provide sources, claiming the game was invented this month. JNW (talk) 21:20, 17 August 2008 (UTC):[reply]

If you hit the opponent with the Goobley, then you win a 1/3 and the opponent's 1/3s are reset to 0. If the opponent is unable to continue playing due in incapacitation then you not only win the game but you win a certain number of the opponent's livestock, depending on the populous of the opponent's hometown/hamlet, village.

The net is made out of any objects available, be it gold or sticks. Perhaps gold sticks.

You must play the game with tennis racquets and a Goobley (Tennis ball, pigs bladder will suffice)

Delete Obvious hoax/vandalism. In the previously deleted versions, if I recall correctly, the game was invented in the 1600s. Now, in an apparent attempt to give it some credibility and explain the lack of a single Google hit of a 400 year-old game, it was invented this month.

Delete Either a hoax or simply a made up game (there's a difference). Exactly one google hit and it's to Wikipedia. Article now states "Many have protested that this is worth a wikipedia article". Created by a user called User:GoobletovMedia which is possibly conflict of interest. Creator needs to read WP:SCRABBLE if this is an actual game.
