The result of the debate was DELETE. For the record, I was the one who originally speedied it. If it is still found worthy of inclusion it can be undeleted again. — JIP | Talk 17:19, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This was speedied but restored by VfU, with a mandate that it be immediately listed here. So here it is. -Splash^talk 16:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, or maybe smerge with the film. Is there any evidence of this being played or even discussed outside of the film? -R. fiend 17:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, there is no proof that the game exists outside the film and even if it did, it would be played by so few people that it would be non-notable. Also such detailed information on this scene doesn't seem appropriate to merge with the film's article. -- Kjkolb 17:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Waiting (film) --MacRusgail 20:04, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Undelete I created this article after seeing the movie and talking to friends who had played it before the movie had come out. Since originally deleted I have put more research into the phenomenon and as long as the page survives I promise to keep improving it. The game was originally created in the military (which is extremely interesting considering the "don't as, don't tell" policy.) I agree that most pop-culture is unencyclopaedic, but when it becomes a widely recognized part of culture the threshold of notability is crossed. This game has many particpants and even more who know of it, but don't play. A simple google search will reveal as much. I know it is crude/nonsense/offensive, but none of these take away from the fact that it should be considered knowledge. Instead of thinking that something shouldn't be in an encyclopedia because you don't know it, think that it should be in so people like you can learn about it. The benefit to Wiki is that anyone can contribute and it is fluidly updated every second. This could take years to make it into print, but in the mean time people will get their information from here. This is not vandalism, it is education and free speech.
