Talk:Sette e mezzo

Does this belong in english wikipedia?
Does it make sense to have such an entry in english wikipedia?

There is a much better entry in italian wikipedia.

This is a gambling game played by many Italian Americans and Canadians, not all of whom speak or read Italian. Is there a reason why this article should only exist in Italian? Why not translate it into English for the English Wikipedia? If there is a rule against this, please let me know. An article on sette mezzo could be linked to card games, gambling (under non-casino card games) as well as blackjack. Thanks. Rebecca (talk) 01:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

It should also be placed under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Italian_card_games with the rest of the Italian card games in the English Wikipedia. Rebecca (talk) 06:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe the title should be changed to "Seven and a half", since that's its English name (unless "sette e mezzo" is the main form used in English-speaking countries and "seven and a half" is less common). —Cousteau (talk) 16:21, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Game origin?
The article claims that this is an Italian game; however it cites no sources for this origin (in fact some online sources (1) (2) suggest it has a Spanish origin, although they don't provide any source for this claim either; other sources (3) claim the origin is uncertain). For now I've added a  tag to this, but it would be nice if some information about its origin could be provided. —Cousteau (talk) 16:40, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
