...on the basis of no sources and non-notability; the Internet gamer nicknames of one of the variants' alleged originators is a dead giveaway (as is "deathmatch", an e-gamer term). The especially-offending second entry is not only a self-confessing "distant cousin" to the article topic but clearly unrelated in any way at all. The entries (with cleanup, and with further cleanup-tagging):

==="[[Woburn, Massachusetts|Woburn]] short-course" variant=== {{Clarifyme|date=April 2008}} This alternative, with many regional variants,{{debatable|reason=How could something named for a single town have "many regional variants"?}} involves a predetermined arrangement of three to five balls with a predetermined [[par (golf)|par]]. Each arrangement constitutes a hole, with eighteen holes to a game. No hole is like any other, and pars range between three to five per hole.{{fact}}

<nowiki>==="Blind man's deathmatch" variant===

This distant cousin of pool golf[dubious ] was developed by Mr. Mooney and The Beast.[who?] The rack consists of ten to twenty balls (depending upon availability) arranged in a straight line (touching each other) with the far ball touching the cushion at the foot end of the table and extending towards the head through the foot spot. In this fast-paced, low-skill duel between archenemies,[neutrality is disputed] balls are kept in continuous motion[clarification needed] until the table is cleared.[citation needed]<nowiki>
