Hearts strategy

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article describes the strategy for the Hearts card game, and fails WP:NOTGUIDE as well as being nonnotable. Artichoker[talk] 20:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hearts is a card game just as relevant as Poker. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_strategy for an example of a WikipediA article that is exactly the same and would/should never be considered for deletion. Jonsan32 (talk) 21:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep it absolutely is notable. There is a lot of strategy in the game and merging the content with the article on the game itself is impractical because of the large amount of content.  Keeping the strategy page, while it may not completely pass WP:GUIDE, is the sensible thing to do, and per WP:WIARM, "The common purpose of building a free encyclopedia trumps [thee spirit and the practice of the rule]. If this common purpose is better served by ignoring the letter of a particular rule, then that rule should perhaps be ignored."  The strategy page being standaone makes more sense on Wikipedia than does it being merged or deleted. Frank Anchor Talk to me  (R-OH) 22:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of the article is unencyclopedic. Do we really need an entire article devoted to the strategy of one card game? I think it should at least be merged to the Hearts article, as a lot of it could be trimmed. Artichoker[talk] 23:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment, the original article creator has merged the article into Hearts, where I think it fits quite nicely. Artichoker[talk] 02:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
