Myachi (edit | talk | history  | protect | delete  | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

List of All Myachis (edit | talk | history  | protect | delete  | links | watch | logs | views) Also nominated. -- lucasbfr ^talk 22:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Originally prodded; admin suggested I afd which I have done. Mainly I'm concerned with the notability of this. This also concerns List of All Myachis. Both articles seem to have no reliable sources. -WarthogDemon 21:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

• Delete - No independtely reliable sources. I also did a google search to attempt to find some sources and pulled up nothing. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 21:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
• Delete While it appeared on a segment on ABC, the main article fails to assess more reliable sources than that one. Maybe it will get notable in a near future, but for now it isn't. The second article has no encyclopedic content. -- lucasbfr ^talk 22:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
• Delete all, especially the second article. The second article (list) has only one real source, which is a primary source. Given that there is a secondary source on the first article, it was greatly outnumbered by the sole primary source. It might gain notability in the future, but right now, no.

• Don't freaking delete, Myachi is new; you can't expect there to be a lot of reliable sources -- BrownsFanForLife 01:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC) — BrownsFanForLife (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply ]
• I actually have 24 Google News Archives hit, unfortunately most of them subscription, stretching back to 2001, but several seem to be repeats. The only actual free link that looks to be a reliable source is this one in the Tennessean from 2004. I think this is kind of on the edge at this point - but the article is terrible, and if it sticks around should be hacked way down, much like Hacky Sack.

Comment Hack it way down? If you do that, you might as well delete it. The article is that big because there's a lot of information about Myachi. You can't just say "It's a small sack filled with sand that is tossed around on the back of the hand" because that says NOTHING about what Myachi really is or how you play the game. If anyone starts to delete info, please at least talk to me about what's going on... I'm sorry there aren't many sources available, but I want the article to at least explain the basic points of the game. -- BrownsFanForLife 03:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

• Delete - right now it reads very much like advert/marketing information - and can't imagine a reason to have a list of all the color variations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Statisticalregression (talk • contribs).
