Delete unsourced article per WP:MADEUP. Article creation said "a very popular game based on tennis. Created by two bay area tennis players." I couldn't find anything outside Wikipedia mirrors with Google. It's 3 years old so there are many mirrors. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete as an unreferenced guide to a game. ~~Also unreferenced assertion in nom, "A very popular game" should have a cite.~~ --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 17:11, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The quoted text was removed in 2007.[1]. I only quoted it to give some background which I think supports a theory that this game was made up by the creator or his friends and has never been covered by reliable sources. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:15, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks for the correction! I have struck out the secondary issue accoringly. The main issue stands, and I'll expand to: Lack of sources means the article is not verifiable. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 19:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think this is a real game, but no sources, no notability, and no real information beyond the rules of the game. Northwestgnome (talk) 17:42, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no sources and no assertion of notability. Appears to fall within WP:MADEUP but would be deletable in any case unless notability is asserted and sourced. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No sources, no available information; and appears WP:MADEUP - Mjquinn_id (talk) 03:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I believe this is a hoax. -- ISLANDERS27 06:03, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - You've got a point. The creating editor, Desiman925, has an edit history that consists of (1) nonconstructive edits, and (2) this article. It is possible e made this up out of whole cloth. And if so, it'll be very hard to satisfy WP:V for this article. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 12:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
