A tradition in a small English town that doesn't deserve its own article. Could be shorted and merged into the short town article, but obviously not notable enough. I prodded it, but it was removed. Reywas92^Talk 22:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your template as comments about a tradition being silly could be seen as being offensive. Traditions are important regardless of the size of a town or in this case a village. Talskiddy 23:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry by what I said, but this does not achieve Notability standards and doesn't need its own article. Reywas92^Talk 00:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. Such ball games were once widespread throughout Europe, but AFAIK Sedgefields is just about the last survivor. As such it has some notability. Mind you, I did hope that some combination of the words "Sedgefield' and "Mob" might relate to the local MP in some way... Grutness...wha? 00:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep, BBC article already sourced, and here's some more (independent, reliable, etc): [1], [2], check out achive search—siroχo 02:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
