Casino bingo poker comparison

Original research/synthesis, possibly promotional. slakr \ talk / 18:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. I smell spiced ham. The title's full of keyword stuffing - "casino bingo poker" isn't a game - and the article doesn't actually compare anything. (Instead, it promotes an organization which performs such comparisons.) Zetawoof(&zeta;) 19:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Spam article to promote editors website. Probably original research. Pit-yacker (talk) 19:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, hey, good catch. I didn't look at the history, so I didn't notice that the author's name is the same as the organization the article's promoting. Yeeesh. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 20:43, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, If the terms for the actual types of gambling are removed would this be more in line with the policy?, yes I make references to my own activities but they are the only ones with which I can talk with any authority. The page is intended to be about the actions of the Comparison industry and the way in which it is involved with the Gambling industry in general and where it will go in the future. The number of Online Gamblers using the Comparison sites are higher than the number that are going directly to the casinos etc. There is no regulation for who is being recommended, I for instance receive dozens of "Bonus Emails" every day which seem fantastic offers on the face of it but I know they are from sites and for Casinos that you would not want to either use your credit card at or leave your money there on deposit. I welcome your comments and take on board the spiced ham comment. It is a complicated subject and somebody does really need to put the workings of this industry down for people who want to know. If you think the page can be written without it sounding like a promo I would welcome your thoughts as I being a Fourth generation Bookmaker I do strongly believe in the protection of the player (believe it or not) and a lot of the new media/advertising types running these mail campaigns do not think or operate like this. Thank you for your time and comments. Tim (Author) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calidagaming (talk • contribs) 06:49, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Tim, I'm guessing this is your first Wikipedia article. We need reliable sources, see WP:RS, but I can't find any that discuss gambling comparison sites. Without that we can't write an article. The article is also written as a personal essay rather than as an encyclopedia entry. You should avoid writing about your own organisation. See WP:COI].
