so do they use SCUBA gear or are there holes in the ice to breath from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.7.17.3 (talk) 19:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article, they do not, they breathe from holes. -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 07:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is this actually a thing?[edit]

We can verify that two events have been held (2007 and 2013), but it seems like this is more of a stunt than a legitimate sport? Are there leagues, national organizations, anything? Is there any evidence that this "sport" has been played by anyone since 2013? 162 etc. (talk) 17:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, went bold and merged the article. I'm just not convinced of the notability. Discussion welcome. 162 etc. (talk) 19:36, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
162 etc., You claim to have merged this article, so where did you merge it to? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 03:08, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've reduced the article to a mention at Hockey#Other forms of hockey. The previous article [1], while much longer, was based mostly on primary sources authored by Christian Redl. Per my earlier comment, it appears that while some events have been held, I'd categorize them as an exhibition or stunt, rather than a sport. 162 etc. (talk) 17:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
162 etc., so not actually a merge at all. More of an untagged and undiscussed deletion and redirect of a fairly substantial article, reported as a merge and redirect. While I have no particular opinion or interest in the topic itself or its notability, and have not done WP:BEFORE, which I hope you have, I think this covert method of deletion goes against the generally accepted guidelines, even if that was not the intention. If you disagree, please explain why, otherwise I suggest you revert and if you feel it necessary, nominate for deletion, and let it go through the proper process. In my opinion it does not qualify for speedy deletion, and after this would also not qualify for WP:PROD, even if it did before, which I have not checked. Please ping with reply. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 06:24, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is what happened. Per WP:BRD, feel free to revert. 162 etc. (talk) 18:07, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reverted as inappropriate blank and redirect. No merge was involved. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 01:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
