What's My Fish

Prod contested by the page's creator. I can find no substantial coverage in reliable third-party sources to demonstrate that this game meets notability inclusion criteria. The kimby.co.uk source does not reference the game and appears to be a hoax (there is no "kimby challenge cup" golf tournament). Gonzonoir (talk) 12:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At last! Some clear defining rules for WMF (Whats my fish). Please keep it, hoorah for Kimby! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.120.121 (talk) 13:54, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. To my mind, pointless. (That's not a ground for deletion, and nor is 'sad'.) One thing that puzzles me - why is there no alcohol involved? This sort of thing usually involves alcohol. (That's usually the whole point of the game...) Incidentally, the Facebook group seems either to be very recent - or else they're not all that keen on playing it. Only four games listed as completed..... The Kimby reference is just a load of drivel too, and doesn't establish anything worth talking about. Peridon (talk) 14:23, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now here's a surprise. The drinking version has just appeared in the article. Nice try, but no. Peridon (talk) 14:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Congratulations on pointing out that there is no "Kimby Challenge Cup", but you will notice from the article that the cup mentioned was infact "The Kimby Cup" which is a largely unknown, but very real amateur golf competition which started sometime in the 90s, and is quite well documented on Kimby.co.uk[1], and if I remember correctly was referenced in the 2007 Guinness Book of Records for some record involving the number of golf balls held in one hand. Drivel it is not!. --95.131.110.118 (talk) 14:49, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone for a Game What's my Fish? --PhilPhil2 (talk) 14:51, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:MADEUP. WuhWuzDat 14:55, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem? I can confirm that both this game and The Kimby Cup are real, although I doubt very much that is worth anything. The World record mentioned was set by Simon Wake on Aug 20 2005 and appeared in the 2007 book —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.201.24 (talk) 14:58, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please note Parroting won't get you anywhere. (Not even parrot-fishing...) Proving notability to our standards will. This isn't a head-count - it's based on compliance with policies and evidence. Peridon (talk) 15:36, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, did you hear the one about the two parrots sitting on a perch? One turns to the other and says, 'Can you smell fish?' Peridon (talk) 15:36, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of sources anywhere. WP:MADEUP from what I can tell.
