~~Keep~~ – There's coverage in multiple American newspapers, over several years. Most commonly it's within articles that also cover geocaching more extensively, but it's more than just brief mentions of geodashing. I've added several citations as examples.

Merge into geocaching - that what all the sources are doing in any event. I agree that it exists, it looks like fun but I don't think there is significant coverage enough to allow it to pass the hurdle of WP:GNG. - ManicSpider (talk) 04:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Agree that it is best understood as a variant of Geocaching. The mechanics are the same, and from the perspective of a Wikipedia user (I wish they got more mention in these discussions) it is more likely to be useful and read about as part of that article. There is already a list there of variations, one of which is 'virtual' which encompasses Geodashing. AJHingston (talk) 11:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
