Annoyingly this claims coverage on Fox News so it possibly asserts notability (although google fails to substantiate this). WP:OR per WP:MADEUP. Ros0709 (talk) 21:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 'reference' for the Fox news coverage is just a link to the Fox mainpage (I could do that and claim Fox coverage for invaders from Mars). I've already speedy deleted this once and I would do it again. speedy delete. DJ Clayworth (talk) 21:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google "bottle football" and the school name turns up only this article [1]. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:42, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete per WP:NFT. I won't argue that the topic itself is a hoax, but the sources definitely look like they are. MuZemike (talk) 22:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm not going to enter this discussion, but I feel I need to point out I see this in a lot of good-faith contributions. People who think they need links provide links to the main page of some related publication's website without actually providing necessary details. In this case it could have happened that they saw it on TV and ended up citing the website. Just sayin'. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I see nothing to prove the bizarre assertion that Fox News, for some reason, would have featured a story on kids throwing a half-filled (and thus fair and balanced) water bottle back and forth. The school's website certainly doesn't mention either a visit from Fox News or the game itself [2]. Even if it turns out that it was mentioned on Fox, it's still not notable.

• Delete - As much as ILIKEIT... it doesn't make the cut. Coastalsteve984 (talk) 22:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
