~~Wikipedia is not a How-To guide. This article does not refer to any social importance. It would be better off at WikiHow, whose purpose if to host "how-to" type entries.~~ -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 17:40, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest redirect instead of deletion - to Traditional games in the Philippines#Lawin at Sisiw ("Hawk and Chicken"), as mentioned below -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 17:41, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As the game is mentioned in A study of Philippine games By Mellie Leandicho Lopez, it is not made up. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 18:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to list of Filipino Children's games or keep. See [1], [2], Page 52 of [3]. Less of of howto than a documentation of games played. Hobit (talk) 18:30, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment From what I can see, all of those sources mention how to play - but not the social relevance, or detailed history, etc of the game. That is why I recommended (both in this AfD, and on the creator's talk page) that it might be better off on WikiHow -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 18:36, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to suggest we merge all discussions on these articles on Philippines games to [4]. I think this issue has been addressed there fairly well by Phil. Hobit (talk) 20:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, normally I'd agree with Steve, but in this case I'm gonna have to disagree with the AfD propsal. I see NO reason why this article needs to be deleted. But then, my opinions and suggestions mostly go unheard... --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 22:24, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have added Bati-Cobra, Calahoyo ("Hole-in"), Lawin at Sisiw ("Hawk and Chicken") and Sambunot to Traditional games in the Philippines, as I feel that this is a more appropriate ___location for them -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I now think that this article should not be deleted, but redirected to Traditional games in the Philippines#Lawin at Sisiw ("Hawk and Chicken"), as all the information is now there, and so there is no need for a separate article. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:25, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : I agree with this. Redirecect might be fine if the information contained in the oresent article is prenet in the target article. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:26, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If RadioFan, Pookeo9 and JoeChill are willing to change their !votes, I am willing to perform a non-admin closure and create the redirect as mentioned above. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 17:37, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
