This page on the Real Tennis courts on Grange Road seems to have been tagged somehow into the really rather different Lawn Tennis project.

Although Real Tennis, aka Jeu de Paume, Royal Tennis or Court Tennis is the grandfather of Lawn Tennis and nothing to do with the game as played by Nadal, Bjorn Borg or McEnroe. Please can we remove it from the Lawn Tennis project?

Secondly, this page was marked for Speedy Deletion, possibly because of confusion with it being a Lawn Tennis commercial business. It is one of around 20 courts left in the UK (only 47 courts in the whole world remain, and two of them are here at Grange Road in Cambridge) and needs a Wiki page to let people know about this remarkable surviving remnant of medieval sport — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom Hartley (talkcontribs) 14:01, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have restored the WikiProject banner - rather than remove it unilaterally, it would be better to discuss it with Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis by posting a message on their talk page. Maybe they would consider the scope of their project wide enough to include Real Tennis.
I have also removed your "hangon": this page is not currently nominated for speedy deletion, though an earlier version was deleted in 2009. JohnCD (talk) 19:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
