Nauset ball[edit]

Article was previously deleted by PROD & later recreated which makes it ineligible to be deleted by PROD again. Thus it has to come here.

No notability indicated in the article, none found in my own search. ThaddeusB (talk) 14:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete - seems to be one of those things made up in school at best. WP is the only relevant hit. MSJapan (talk) 15:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I was the one who mistakently prodded this a second time, so my apologies for that. This was what I said in my prod tag: "Fails notability. Only 26 Google hits, and none of them meet the standard of significant coverage in reliable independent sources. (In fact, half of them seem to be old cached mentions of the fact that a Nauset ball article was deleted by PROD in 2007.) No mentions in an all-dates search of Google news, either.

Comment So how big is the goal supposed to be? Evidently, you can throw the tennis ball into a basketball goal, or you can throw it or kick it or bounce it off of your head into another goal protected by a goalie. I love reading about people's ideas for non-notable games, and looking at the problems with the rules. But put it on YouTube or on Gamepedia (which, if it doesn't exist, it ought to).

Delete, borderline speedy delete as an obvious hoax. A "tennis ball that inflates to 9 lbs"? A women's shot put weighs 8.8 pounds. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:43, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that their intent was to refer to 9 pounds per square inch, although new tennis balls are pressurized to 12 psi; I had to look that up [1]. Of course, the game would probably be more exciting if they played it with a 9 pound shot put, especially for the goalie. Mandsford (talk) 16:12, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as a possible hoax, and as at best something that was quite literally made up in school one day. I've gotta say, though: If they're hurling around shot put-weight tennis balls in a sport, I want to see their liability waivers at that school.Tyrenon (talk) 14:58, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
