This does not appear to be a notable sport. It was prodded, but an IP editor removed the prod tag as well as a notability tag (the latter of which I had added). Aleta ^Sing 18:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you, I appreciate your comments. Maybe when the sport has grown some more and it is easier to find references, I will re-post it. --Polishphysicist (talk) 19:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It seriously sounds like a fun way to lose teeth, but just isn't notable at this time, via the WP:notability policy. PHARMBOY (TALK) 00:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. As I understand it, rasketball is a pretty popular regional sport. It's not exactly ubiquitous yet, but it is a pretty big deal in Rochester, NY especially, the rest of New York and into Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere. 04:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.224.17 (talk)

  Are there reliable sources that can be used to demonstrate WP:notability of rasketball? Aleta ^Sing 13:51, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Looks like pure NFT to me. Sgroupace (talk) 09:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as NFT, and possibly a hoax. None of the cited sources mentions the word 'Rasketball'. AlexTiefling (talk) 15:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. People say the moon landing was a hoax.

• Yes, but there are documented reliable sources for that. Are there for rasketball? Aleta ^Sing 19:03, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The sport is not a hoax, but there are no known documented sources. The sport is growing in popularity still and someday will likely have numerous sources for reference. I am not a creator of the sport, but have played it. I am new to Wikipedia though and was unfamiliar with its guidelines regarding page creation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polishphysicist (talk • contribs) 01:55, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Yet another sport/game that only has a few dozen people playing it. No sources, no notability.    SIS  21:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
