Unremarkable sport. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:52, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It may be a niche sport, but it has some sources and some of the YouTube videos have a lot of hits. Frmorrison (talk) 15:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see some of those sources, as YouTube videos are not considered reliable sources. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:54, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - wholly non-notable. Giant Snowman 09:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Found an article in the Qatar Tribune, a one line mention in Wellington Times under the name "bubble soccer", a passing paragraph in a NZ newspaper at Stuff.co.nz and a page on a radio station website about the abovementioned youtube video Keyj.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - As the article effectively concedes, no global or even national oversight body exists. The events appear to be sporadic, scattered get-togethers that do not give rise to notability, at least at this time. YouTube videos typically do not qualify as authoritative or reliable sources.--Rpclod (talk) 15:03, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
