Search found no independent notability, so this fails WP:GNG, as tagged since August 2008. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 16:50, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Battle gaming. These articles seem to discuss identical (or at least extremely similar) subjects and "battle gaming" appears to be the more common and popular term. Winner 42 Talk to me! 23:37, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Live action role-playing game - The article is complete original research that tries to explain a topic that fails WP:NEO. It goes on to be confusing as the start is almost like it's a video game and moves on to explain more about a Live action role-playing game, hence why it should not be merged but just a redirect. - Pmedema (talk) 03:32, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or at the very least, Redirect to LARP. Searches bring up nearly nothing, and the few things that do come up are not from reliable sources. Most of them are nothing but announcements of upcoming events, and many of them seem to be using the term synonymous to regular LARPing. The article was created well over a decade ago, and the fact that no sources have really been created in that time span leads me to believe that this was nothing more than a WP:NEOLOGISM that never became a thing. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:16, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting to LARP seems to be the best move here. L3X1 (distant write) 14:39, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- no point in preserving article history as the page consists entirely of unsourced original research. Once deleted, the name can be redirected at editorial discretion. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
