Another curse related article that fails multiple guidelines, including WP:NOR, and WP:V, no google hits other than mirrors about this "alleged curse" Delete Secret ^account 14:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The ultimate example of original research. Not even close to notable. Nate • (chatter) 18:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Foiled! Curses again! The usual format is that the (Astros, Saints, Suns etc) have not won the (World Series, Super Bowl, NBA championship) and that maybe it's because of (artificial turf, jazz band, coin flip) and the source is a (blog, angels, forum posting). I don't think that the Houston Colt .45s ever made it to postseason, although that maybe curse of the grass. I propose a Wikipedia rule, that only a curse described by a notable sportwriter is a real curse. Mandsford (talk) 18:28, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
