Kazakh playing cards

 * 1. This is blatant advertising. The article's creator asserts to have produced the images for this article. They are identical to the ones found on Amazon and yurtcards.com. It is clear that the creator of these cards is using Wikipedia as a marketing platform which is against Wikipedia's policy.
 * 2. One of the requirements of an article is notability. This article fails to demonstrate that. According to yurtcards.com this deck was created in 2018 and a quick reverse image search shows there are no mentions outside of non-retail sites. It is not "used in Kazakhstan and other countries" as purported because the packaging is found only in English. It is no different from the countless copyrighted novelty decks churned out each year.

This article as well as the accompanying images should be deleted as spam. Countakeshi (talk) 02:29, 4 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete This is clearly product placement. There is no evidence that these cards or cards like them represent true Khazak heritage. I can't find any reliable, independent references that assert anything notable about these cards. It's an advertising gimmick and, I suspect, a case of WP:COI.  Glendoremus (talk) 03:24, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and probably salt. Either the images are a copyvio or the article was created by a CoI editor. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:14, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete To clarify what I take to be Glendoremus's point: The symbols invoked may well reflect Kazakh heritage, but that is beside the point. The question is: "Is playing games with this deck of cards a notable feature of Kazakh culture?" It is impossible that this is so. Phil wink (talk) 14:24, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
