Cushions (game)

[edit]

Not notable, possibly something made up in school one day. "Cushions Unified Non-profit Tournament", a tournament mentioned in the article, does not appear to exist (no ghits.) The competitions section seems to reference the game's creators by first name only, "Kishan", and "Jack". Editing issues, and creator has essentially no edits outside of this topic: Jak546 (talk · contribs) OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 23:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a legitimate game being played across the northwest of England. I will endeavor to supply links and external references in the immediate future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jak546 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a day or so. The author made a comment saying he'd put references (above). If he doesn't, I'd say delete. Endofskull (talk) 00:27, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no need for an explicit "wait a day or so". The AFD runs for 7 days. If significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability show up, I will happily change my !vote. But at this point, the article fails the fundamental policy of verifiability. -- Whpq (talk) 14:16, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This sounds like something a few bored teenagers made up (both the game and the article). Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 14:21, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:V, WP:NFT. Zero hits on Google UK for this alleged "sport." Ravenswing 14:22, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete. Obviously the game is made up. It is a new game. The difference between cushions and snooker is that cushions was "made up" in 2010 not 1874. Wikipedia should be helping the growth of this new game not hindering it. I can personally vouch for the game being played as far east as Redcar.

Your personal experiences with the game can not be used to establish it's notability. (This would be original research.) Wikipedia is not here to further random stuff made up one day, whether in 2010 or 1874. OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 22:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
