Jabberwocky (card game) was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to keep the article at this time.

This is just rules for a minor card game, not encyclopedic. Move to Wikibooks? siroχo 04:17, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete: How-to. No opinion about Wikibooks, but a collection of wiki card games as a subdivision of it would be logical. Geogre 13:34, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • Snickersnack, but I think having rules to games and recipes for foods on a project would be sensible, and that's why I suggested Wikibooks rather than Wikipedia, but not because this is a poor article. Geogre 21:58, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. People might well look this up. -- orthogonal 14:22, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, but add history of the game to make more encyclopedic. Spectatrix 16:02, 2004 Jul 12 (UTC)
  • Keep - I would now like to invoke the Jabberwocky defense. The Jabberwocky is a card game supposedly invented in Hawaii in the 1980s. Jabberwocky sounds like Chewbacca. I have four things to say about that: (a) Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor, which doesn't make sense (b) talking about Chewbacca in a totally unrelated trial doesn't make sense (c) none of this makes any sense (d) if it doesn't make sense, the jury must acquit. Thank you. - Tεxτurε 17:51, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Is there a list of card games this can be added to, if it hasn't already. DryGrain 17:19, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It could prove useful to someone. -SocratesJedi 22:31, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
